Zamzar

Zamzar will convert your files from one format to another. For example, if you do you do your typing at home in Microsoft Works or Open Office, Zamzar will magically transform your papers into Office 2003 or Office 2007 documents that you can edit and print out at school. Zamzar also works with many music and video files and will also turn Word documents into PowerPoints, Microsoft Publisher documents, and even HTML.

The downside is that the process isn't necessarily instantaneous: you have to upload your document into Zamzar and then wait for the program to email you the converted document.

If you need a document converted right away, come ask for help in the library. We'll probably be able to help you find a computer that has the Office compatibility pack loaded on it, or we'll be able to find some other way of facilitating the conversion process.
