Why a free word processor suits weekly worksheet preparation

A worksheet routine needs a tool that opens fast, handles formulas and prints cleanly. It does not need macros, mail merge or tracked changes. AICKO WORD keeps only what an ordinary teacher or writer uses, so there is less to learn and less to get lost in.

Homeschooling families benefit in the same way. Nothing has to be installed on a cloud account, and the documents stay on the computer.

A typical use is a monthly pack of lesson sheets. You open last month’s file, change the topic and the dates, add a few equations and export a clean PDF. The same document can also be saved as .docx and sent to a colleague who uses another word processor, with the layout intact.

Features in detail

• Open and save Word files (.docx and .doc), OpenDocument (.odt), RTF and plain text.

• The .docx format is offered by default, so the file can be read anywhere.

Templates and comfort

Ready-to-fill templates include a letter, a CV, a report, an invoice, an exercise sheet, a course and an assessment. The interface comes in French or English, with a dark mode and seven colors.

Getting started in five steps

1. Install AICKO WORD from the Microsoft Store on a PC running Windows 10 or 11.
2. Open a template, for example the exercise sheet, or start with a blank page.
3. Type your text and format it from the Home tab.
4. Insert equations, tables and images from the Insert tab.
5. Save as .docx for editing and export a PDF for printing.

Good practice for a weekly routine

Build one master document with your header, fonts and margins, and reuse it every week. Learners then see the same layout each time.

Check the page preview before printing, particularly for worksheets with equations, so that no problem is cut across two pages.

Use heading styles for the title of each section instead of changing the size by hand. The document then stays consistent, and a later change to the style updates every title at once.

The software needs no internet connection, so it works in a classroom with poor Wi-Fi. For the phone edition, see the Android app on the AICKO WORD page. For worksheets to adapt, browse the Grade 8 (4ème) page.
