Word Documents
It is becoming a problem for students (and other teachers) when teachers use the new Office 2007 to make Word documents (docx) and then put them up on WebCT (or anywhere).

This means that others are unable to open them if they don't have the new version of Word. This is more reason to PDF your documents rather than loading a word document. If you do have to load a word document, make sure you change it to a 93 format (.doc) so that all users can access it.
