Feel free to download the Microsoft Word files
and edit them to suit your class.

It appears that all of the files are available in HTML format.
This is good. (The advertised .doc format is available also.)

The alternatives are labelled "view" and "download" respectively,
which is misleading, because it is perfectly possible to download
HTML documents. Any decent editor should be able to read/edit/write
HTML documents.

Generally it is advisable to use a nice, secure, well-documented,
portable, open, standard format such as HTML, and to avoid using a
nasty, virus-susceptible, non-portable, closed, proprietary format
such as .doc.
