a .txt document is just a text document, generally created with notepad.
a .doc document is a document created in Word.
a .pdf document is a file created with a PDF creator.
In works, when you go to save the document, you can tell it to save it as a doc file by looking towards the bottom of the screen, under where you give your document a title. In there you may see the option to save it as a Word 6.0 - 97 document. If you do, then this is all you have to do.
Alternately you can download a PDF creator from www.snapfiles.com . lookup PDF Printer or PDF Creator. You can find some that are free and will not put a banner ad on the resultant document.

You will be fine. A .txt file is just a text file, a .doc file is a document file that is written in Microsoft Word, a .pdf file is a document written using Adobe Acrobat. When you save the file it gives you the option to "Save File As" and the drop down menu will show the different file extensions.

They are file types.
.txt is a Plan Text File - can be generated with Notepad
.doc is a Word Document - can be Generated with Microsoft Word
.pdf is a Portable Document Format file - can be Generated with multiple programs including Microsoft Office 2007 or PDF ReDirect

Those are file extensions, or file types which simply tells the computer what it is (words, pictures, movies, etc). In Microsoft Works Word Processor go to file-> save as and then under the space where you enter the name of the file click it and select one of the types that you need. I don't know if it's exactly like this because I don't use Works

.txt means a simple text document written with notepad and wordpad.
.doc means a document written with Microsoft Word
.pdf means a document written with Adobe Acrobat
You used Microsoft Works so try saving you document as a .txt.
Open the document and click "File-Save As"-drop down-.txt
