• A NOTE to "Works" Users: DO NOT SUBMIT YOUR PAPER AS A .wps DOCUMENT
  
  
  • if you normally generate a .wps file (from the Microsoft Works wordprocessor) please turn in your paper as a .rtf (Rich Text Format) document.
    
    DO NOT SUBMIT YOUR PAPER AS A .wps DOCUMENT.
    
    
  • NOTE: It does not work simply to type in the .rtf extension on an existing .wps file. You must load the original document and then resave it as a .rtf file type.
    
    To do that . . .
    
    
    1. Load your original paper
       
       
    2. Re-save your paper -- go to "File"
       
       
    3. Then click on "Save As"
       
       
       
       
       
    4. Then (usually as the bottom) it will say "Save as Type"
       
       

     

    4. Click on that (on the \/ button to the right of where it says "Save as Type:"), then scroll up/down with the little "elevator" button on the righthand side and select "Rich Text Format" or ".rtf"
       
       
    5. Type in file name, with whatever name you want to call it
    • use a name like "jdoe0013_case_study"
      
      
    6. Then save it
       
       
    7. Send that saved .rtf copy

     

Virtually anyone should be able to open and read a RTF file.
