Downloading, Saving & Editing
Downloading
Most job adverts or
education courses will
require that you
download and edit a
Word document as
part of the application
process.
Saving
It is important that if
you are using a
shared computer such
as those in libraries or
a classroom that you
save your files in a
secure place like a
flash drive.
Editing
Software for computers can
be expensive, programmes
such as the latest version of
Microsoft Office can cost
between €100 - €400, this
can be quite a high price if
you are living on a budget or
do not need to use it every
day.
Fortunately there are FREE
alternatives
Online Communication
Email is one of the
most useful
applications of the
internet. It is the
quickest, easiest and
cheapest way to keep
in touch.
