Hi. I cannot type in the answers to the questions on the Academy pages. I only have Microsoft 365 Office. Is this the cause? I dont really want to print out the 20 or so pages in order to fill in the answers. Any guidance please?

    Are you looking at it as a PDF as that won’t allow you to type on it.

    They  do give you the option to download the material as a word document instead, and that should work for you. It’s in here under the “download this course” options. other formats also available.

    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
  • I'm looking at it as it appears on the screen when I open up but can't type on it. I did download too but again I can't type on it. I don't have Word, only Office 365. Can I download again to Office format? Thanks.

    Hi @Rickane - if you've signed in to OpenLearn and you have 'enrolled' in the Academy of Money course, you can do the quizzes on the website itself, with no Word files or PDFs involved.

    The downloads that you're using are just 'optional extras' so the content of the course is accessible in multiple formats and to people without stable internet connections etc. 

    This is what the half-time quiz looks like for me
