| MICROSOFT
WORD |
> In the Spring
computer labs, we use Microsoft Office 2000 on most of
the computers. Why? Because in most cases,
it is better, faster, and easier to use than Office
2003, Office 2007, and Office 2010. Some of the
lab computers have Office 2007 or Office 2010.
Look for a small sign on top of the monitor. |

| READPLEASE |
> This program lets you LISTEN to your own
writing so you can hear how it sounds and listen for
mistakes. Copy your writing with the "copy" or
"CTRL-C" command, then paste it (CTRL-V) into ReadPlease
and play it. You can change the speaking speed,
the voice, and the pitch. |
