Title: 602 Print Pack   
Description: Following on the heels of the successful free office program this program enables you to convert and send any document you have via e-mail.  The program converts whatever format you are using into HTML format.  The other useful attribute of this program is the ability to change any document into a PDF format, which can then be read using Adobe's free Acrobat Reader. This is an excellent resource for schools.  The trial is free but there is a small registration fee.  Well worth the investment.
