Important Information.

Be sure you SAVE a file before you open it. Don’t open and then save. When you save it first it is easier to access the file with your word processor.

Rename your completed file before you upload it. For example, the file you download may have a name such as: starting_assignment.rtf. After you type in your answers (in a blue font) rename it something such as: starting_assignment_ complete.rtf. That way you will not confuse the files and submit the file with no answers. It is also a good idea to open a file before you send it to make sure it is the file you want to send.
