I wrote half of a ten page paper in word and saved it as a .doc. My home computer does not have word and its due tomorrow.

Any ideas?

Here is a free conversion program.
www.media-convert.com

I tried it and it is easy to use and does a good job. You may be able to convert it to whatever it is you have at home.

If you only have Notepad or Wordpad, convert the Word file to a txt file. You will probably lose formatting but at least you will have the text.

You could also download open office, a free program which is supposed to be Office compatible.

http://www.openoffice.org/index.html

OpenOffice.org is a collection of different applications that work together closely to provide the features expected from a modern office suite. Many of the components are designed to mirror those available in Microsoft Office. The components available include:

Writer — a word processor similar in look and feel to Microsoft Word and offering a comparable range of functions and tools. It also includes the ability to export Portable Document Format (PDF) files with no additional software, and can also function as a WYSIWYG editor for creating and editing web pages. One important difference between Writer and Microsoft Word is that in Writer, many functions and number formats from Calc (below) are available in Writer's tables. Another difference is that in Writer, automatic save is off by default.

Calc — a spreadsheet similar to Microsoft Excel with a roughly equivalent range of features. Calc provides a number of features not present in Excel, including a system which automatically defines series for graphing, based on the layout of the user's data. Calc is also capable of writing spreadsheets directly as a PDF file.

Abiword is a really excellent word processor.

Open Office usually gets recommended because it is a complete suite and people are usually looking for an alternative to MS Office.

but if you are looking for just a Word Processer then you could try that.

You can even download a portable version then you don't have to install:

Open Office will save and open .doc files. They aren't always perfectly formatted but on the whole pretty decent. I think the site is openoffice.org.
