File Conversion Made Easy!

       Has a student ever sent you a file that you cannot open?  Maybe it's in a .docx format, when you only have the "older" version of MS Word.  There's a quick solution to every file conversion problem!
  
    Enter ZamZar.  You simply upload the file you want converted, select the desired format, enter your e-mail address, and click "convert."  ZamZar automatically e-mails you when the file is done.  That's it - no downloading software, and no programs to purchase.

       In a similar manner, you can finally change those pdf files to an editable MS Word document with PDF to Word Converter by Nitro software.  While a downloadable version is available, the free online version works just fine.  Simply upload your pdf file and enter your email address.  Within minutes, you will receive your MS Word document. 

  
    I sent a pdf file that included simple graphics, and PDF to Word sent the conversion to my email in less than two minutes, and the graphics were in the same place and as the same quality as the pdf original. 
    Give PDF to Word Converter or ZamZar a try!  They're both great teacher time-savers, and they're free!
