Projector & Laptop

1. It's a little hard to connect your laptop computer to the projector in the lab.

    It's highly recommended to:
          save your file(s) on your USB thumb (flash) drive;
          bring your USB drive to the lab and; 
          email your file(s) to the ESL Educational Technologist before class.

2. Office 2007 Problem

     The lab computers support only Office 2003 or earlier (2002, XP, 1997, etc.).
     If you use Office 2007 on your own computer, please save your file(s) as Office 97-2003 file(s).

 If you use PowerPoint 2007 at home, please save your file as a PowerPoint 97-2003 file.

  1) Click on the Office Button (top left).
  2) Move your mouse over Save As (left).  
       => Do NOT click. If you have clicked on it, cancel it and do it again.
  3) Click on PowerPoint 97-2003 Document (right)
  4) Type in your file name.
  5) Click on Save.
