I hate this class!

That really stinks! I feel your pain. My daughter is in her 4th year of college. It seems like with modern technology it should be easier but sometimes it just isn't. You do have to jump through a lot of hoops sometimes.

At least you know that you are trying your best plus some. Hang in there!

I've had similar troubles. The different versions of Word cause everyone their fair deal of hair-pulling, what with having to convert everything to what each teacher has on their own home computers!

Tough week . It's getting near the end of the semester, so it's gonna be more stressful for students with work piling up, argh. After this semester, at least you'll be done with that class! Do you have a Thanksgiving break coming up?

Hang in there!

Oh, I feel your pain and I hope you get it straightened out. Once you've finished it, you should save as .pdf and then send it to your teacher.

Good luck!

Wow, I can't imagine! Computers were such a novelty when I was in school, some kids had them most didn't and I used a typewriter for my papers. This was an interesting eye opener for me, so I'm glad you posted about it. PLUS it helped you to vent, I am sure.

I'm having similar issues now, having to upgrade a tax software package which will only work on one computer (it has Windows 2010) and won't work on the 5 year old computer. GAH! So I feel your pain!

I wouldn't use the .pdf Randi suggested UNLESS IT IS IN THE INSTRUCTIONS, lol, this instructor is precise so stick to what she wants. Best wishes!

Well, I guess everything turns out. My friend texted me this morning asking me to come to a lecture on the main campus with her because she didn't want to go alone, so I went along and got to do my paper right after. I got so stressed this morning as well because the portal (sign-in) which has EVERYTHING including college e-mail, schedules, grades, etc. on it wouldn't work for me. I figured that out to, but I was so scared I wouldn't be able to log-in on time to get my courses approved for tomorrow. This picking courses for next semester is killing me too. It wasn't a good week. However, I did wind up getting a 98 on my history exam and a 100 on an essay, not bad.

Thanks for the support guys, I appreciate being able to vent about anything here. ToBeEvergreen, yeah I know what you mean, the end of the semester kind of sucks, this is my first semester of college so I'm still learning all this stuff. Yes, I do have thanksgiving break which I am SO excited for, and winter break is heaven. I'm going on a 10 day cruise, can't wait. I'm going to treat myself to parasailing and snorkeling. Yes you'd think these newer programs were better, they're actually really annoying. The class itself is so stupid but it's mandatory. At least I got it out of the way.

Does it absolutely *have* to be done in Office 2010? If not, you could use something like Google Docs or OpenOffice.org to do it with all of the fancy junk professors want on it.
