Trawling the hidden depths of Microsoft Word!

This article was first published in the D&T Association's Magazine and is the eighth in our series of articles through which the authors hope to inform you about the increasing opportunities to use design and technology-related software which is freely available on the internet. In this article, however, the authors are not looking at a piece of free software, but one which is possibly the most widely used program in primary and secondary schools - the ubiquitous Microsoft Word.

This is the second (for Sharing Success) in our series of articles

... through which we hope to inform you about the increasing opportunities to use design and technology-related software which is freely available on the internet.

We believe that each of the pieces of software we will be featuring are in the public domain and are available for educational, non-commercial use. Even so, we advise you to carefully read any restrictions or conditions of use before installing the software. However, for the free version of SketchUp featured in this article, we understand that the providers, Google, are delighted for schools to use it.
