Mac to PC help

Civic_Sista · 05-04-2007, 11:18 AM

I need to give a presentation at school, and they don't have any macs here. I did my "powerpoint" on my mac, but it is appleworks format. How can I hook my laptop up to the computer in the room to make it project onto the screen?

Thanks!

Your laptop hooks up to the projector via the VGA or DVI connector. It does not get connected to the Windows PC.

yea. you can just use the vga connector to connect your own laptop to the projector.

OR

you can see if you can export your presentation in the powerpoint format.
if you used apple keynote, it's pretty simple. hope that helps!

Worse case, you could get an iWork trial, then possibly:

import into iWork, export PPT.

Dunno if this would work though.
