How do I … easily convert file formats?

That’s a problem especially for users who may be on the road or away from their home computer.

Sites like www.Zamzar.com provide idiot-proof conversions for dozens of different file types. They do such conversions without requiring software downloads; all it takes is a valid e-mail address to which converted files can be sent.

Say you’re stuck with a file that’s an Open Office document and you want to convert it to Word. Go to Zamzar and follow the prompts.

It even works on less-popular formats; you can convert document types into the now-obscure PostScript format, for example.

Zamzar works with documents, graphics files and audio and video.
