For those of you that do not own Microsoft Word, you won’t be able to view any of the .doc files I’ve made available for download.
However, there is an alternative! The good people at Google have an online word processing application that will allow you to view these files, even if you don’t have a copy of Microsoft Word at home.
Here’s a rundown on how to do it.
1. Save any .doc file to your hard drive. Be sure you remember where you save it – you’ll need to access it later.
2. Go to docs.google.com
3. Click ‘Upload’.
4. Under ‘Browse your computer to select a file to upload:’ click ‘Browse’.
5. Find the .doc file you downloaded to your hard drive and select it.
6. Click ‘Upload File’.
7. Read the .doc file! It should come right up in Google Docs.
As always, if you have trouble with this, let me know!
