Message from PGDE Text
I tried to open the PPL portfolio attachment on first class but it wouldn't open on my laptop? Any ideas why or what I can do to sort it? Thanks

Assuming you have an application capable of reading the document, the most likely cause of problems is version incompatibility. I found one version of the PPL Portfolio that was only available as a .docx (i.e. latest version of Word). I have now added a .doc vesion of the file to the message. Hopefully you will be able to access that one.
ReplyDeleteThere are also various utilities that will convert .docx and .xlsx files. See http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/open-a-word-2007-document-in-an-earlier-version-of-word-HA010044473.aspx for Microsoft's official conversion utilities.
