    Do you have a Floopy disk or a memory stick to save it.

    Open note pad on your computer. Then highlight and copy the paper from Microsoft Word to the note pad. Save it and transfer it through the use of a USB flash drive, or a floppy drive if your computer and the schools computers have them.

    all you have to do when hit file -> save as -> move drop down list that says "save as format" to plan text.

    if you have picture then they will be gone but you can open it up in note pad. beware this make make you lines indention to be moved around. do a quick check before you turn it in

    convert it to word is easier.

    go to Save As

    Save as file type .doc

    that should work

    I would suggest trying to save as Rich Text, as almost everything can read that.

    copy and paste your work from office to notepad, not what you did (open with...)

    it will work fine and if your concerned with fonts and size, just do it at your school

    simple,

    prob fixed =)

    Install the kinkos printer online, so, then you can print directly to kinkos from your computer.
