2. have Microsoft Word (97 or later)

Microsoft
Word Macro-Security Setting |
Make sure Word's Security
Setting is set so that macros can be enabled (at least
at your discretion).
Otherwise, the special macros in the homework/exam files will be disabled.
To access this option, open Word, then go to Tools|Macro|Security|Security-Level and set level at medium or low;
otherwise, the macros will not run.
If security is set to medium,
then each time you open a homework/exam file, Word will ask whether you
want to enable the macros. Say yes. |
Special
Symbol Fonts |
Microsoft Word is designed so that
special fonts can be embedded inside files, so that they show
up even if the font is not installed on one's machine.
Unfortunately, this does not always work as Microsoft planned! It
works on some machines, but not others. Based on student feedback,
there seems no rhyme or reason as to whether it works on one's system.
In order to ensure that the special logic font shows up on your machine,
you can download and install it on your machine as follows. |

Download
and Install Special Symbol Font (for older
MACs ) |
Sorry, but there is no simple remedy,
since older versions of the MAC operating system do not handle truetype
fonts without all manner of special fiddling. I urge you to upgrade your
system to OSX (OS 10). |
