    Default Help with POWERPOINT!

    I have never done this before, so please excuse my cluelessness!
    So I have made a word powerpoint presentation on my macbook. I have to show it in class tomorrow. Can I burn it to a CD? If so, how? Can I just bring it to class, plug it in to the big slide projector and show it from my own laptop? eek! Can you help?

    you can usually play from laptop. Usually same as plugging in a monitor.
    Probably special key on keyboard (Small pictures on top buttons) or manual configuration. Don't know macs. Powerpoint saves your slides as files so you need any computer that has powerpoint and your file to play the slides. You can burn your file to cd or memory stick, but you need computer with powerpoint also.
    Practice presentation once by yourself.

    You don't have to schlep your computer at all.

    After you create your presentation, click File and then Package for CD.

    It will bundle all related files plus the Powerpoint Player with it so that you can view from any computer; even if it doesn't have PP installed.

    You can burn it, email it to yourself and download it onto the computer you will be using, or use a memory stick.

    If you are going to be doing a presentation via a computer with a windows platform, you might find that not all of your images will show up.
