We have got Ability Office on our pc, but ds is using microsoft (I think word) in school to create shapes and colour them in. He is 8.

Can I get this onto my pc?

thanks!

You will need to purchase the software & license for this. The package can be purchased at most PC World stores etc or if you are after an older version try e-bay!

Don't forget to mention that you have a child in education - you get it a t a fraction of the cost cos you can a student license I think. Still very expensive though. I don't think it matters how old the 'student' is but I am not sure.

ssd - I think you should be able to do the shapes on Ability Office - the Write part(may depend on which version you have). Look for Autoshapes on the drawing toolbar, or if you can't find that , search for Autoshapes in the help section
