For an ability to do the homework I now recommend that you download and
install Open Office
www.openoffice.org. This free software has PowerPoint,
Word and Excel 2003 work-alike programs. It will (with a Save As) save
files in Office 97-2003 format that can be opened without any conversion on
a computer that runs Office. The menu is slightly different than Office
2003 but for most tasks you should have no issue figuring it out quickly.
That, at least, will get the homework done and allow time to figure out what
has happened with Office.
