I had the same problem, sitting there not knowing how to do that. I downloaded the manual from the internet. But I guess that was too much to ask from three media students.
Despite knowing perfectly well that it might not occur to me to look up the manual online either (then again, it might - I did figure out how to use our washing machine that way when my mother was in Paris), that sentence was terribly lulzy.
I'm just sort of picturing everyone sitting around helplessly before going, "Um, get t_eyla!" Don't you LOVE being the go-to guy/girl/being every time someone can't find the power button?
Anyway, turns out he saved his file in a .docx format, which I can't open without a converter, but he was out of there so quickly, I couldn't tell him to please send it to me again as a .txt or .rtf. So I downloaded the converter, and it turns out that his file are 100 fucking words copypasta'ed from Wikipedia.
Ew, sounds like what somebody pulled on me five years ago (http://beandelphiki.livejournal.com/164296.html) for a group astronomy project. (Yes, I remember it THAT clearly. You'd think you'd forget, but no, the memory still BURNS.)
Also, Word 2007 is suck. Well, I mean, it's not suck in that it IS better. But not being fully compatible with all previous versions of Word sucks, and having everything in that mystifying "ribbon" sucks until you eventually get used to it. I just about had a heart attack the first time I opened Word 2007 and realised there wasn't a menu bar anymore. You can't just spring that sort of thing on me!
