Hi. Sorry to say, I'm not having much success.  There was a "Free Download for converting from DOC to PDF.  I hopefully tried it, but somehow it didn't respond to it's written instructions and failed. Abiword wouldn't completely down load onto my memory stick, and there was a diagram box:"Installer unable to access the server".    Home Office, which I tried to access through Google, was immediately blocked by the library. The staff weren't able to help, so I have sent Leicester Libraries an email asking why I can't access the program.  So maybe they will help.   Thanks again.   Byegeorge

Why not just copy the .docx file to your USB stick, and download the relevant software at home?

You certainly won't be permitted to download extra software at the library!
That's how viruses get into the system!!
