I need to write a paper, but I don't have Microsoft Office on my computer. What can I do?
Answer
MCTC students have free online access to all of the Microsoft Office 365 suite of apps, available through MyPath.
When you open MyPath, in the top left corner, there is a block of nine dots, called an App Launcher. It will look like this:
Click that app launcher and you should see a list of apps pop up. Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and other apps are available to use online.
You will have the option to open a blank document. As you work on your document it will automatically save a copy of your work. When you are ready to save as a different name or format, click on File in the top left corner. There will be options as to how you want to save your document.
You can always come back to this app to reopen and edit your documents.
