Text Documents
Most assignments will ask you to write a response, document, or essay. These can be done in Microsoft Word (or WordPad on Windows and TextEdit on Mac devices).
Once you’ve completed the document, save it in an easy-to-remember location by going to File → Save As. You can save it as a Word Document (.docx
file) or a PDF Document (.pdf
file), unless your instructor requires one or the other. We recommend submitting a PDF Document whenever the option is available. PDF Documents cannot be easily edited or modified and have a greater range of compatibility.
Ctrl+P
(or click on File → Print in the top ribbon). Select Microsoft Print to PDF then select Print.Once you’ve saved the file, follow Submitting Assignments to learn how to submit it to an Assignment in Brightspace.
