Creative Commons + Microsoft Office = Free for all
Well. Microsoft allowing something for free. Who would have thunk it?
This is from last year, but today is the first I’ve heard about it. A lot of people out there believe that all information (aka “software, movies, music, etc”) should be free. While I’m not in this camp, I do like the idea that SOME concepts of digital media should be free for all, just to prevent the reinvention of the wheel. This little tool from Microsoft can designate certain documents created in Word as having a Creative Commons License. How does it work?
- First, download and install this plugin from Microsoft.
- Now, in the “File” menu, choose “Creative Commons”. This will add the CC logo, as well as the tagline saying that the document is covered under the Creative Commons License.
While you could do this manually, if you’re writing a lot of articles that need to be covered, this can save you a little time. Enjoy.
