Importing PPT on 11
I just upgraded to 11 and cannot import ppt on my Mac. All I get from the drop down File-Import is "All Common File Import File" and actually, none of my files will highlight to import, including ppt. It did work on Windows but at home I use my Mac to plan. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!See More
Joanne commented on Michele Goshko's group SMART Mac Users"Ann and Erica...WooHoo! Thank you! Eactly what I needed to simply get a few pages that I need from each ppt into a Notebook....backgrounds and such!"
Joanne commented on Michele Goshko's group SMART Mac Users"Thank you Obe. I have Parelells installed and Power Point is on my Mac but not on my Windows.....I had just hoped there was some computer magic I could perform to get it to work....oh well!

Joanne replied to Obe Hostetter's discussion 3D Notebook or Notebook 11 feature requests?"Something simple...I'd like the option to be able to lock/unlock items on every page all at once. I would also like the items in Attachments to alphabetize, perhaps even by type (for example, ink aware category, website, flv.)"
Obe Hostetter replied to Joanne's discussion old windows user with new mac questions in the group SMART Mac Users"Yes, you can share Notebook files with MAC and windows users with little problems except for if you use a lot of Flash. Notebook does work good on MAC except with flash objects like the Lesson Activity Toolkit. In addition, the transparency…"
Joanne replied to Joanne's discussion old windows user with new mac questions in the group SMART Mac Users"Thank you, David! In Transparency Mode will the tools be missing even if I run Parrallels? Does it 'get transparent' at least and are you able to use pens? That's a pretty important feature that I am just beginning to explore (Smart…"
Tracey Carlson replied to Joanne's discussion old windows user with new mac questions in the group SMART Mac Users"Ink aware does come up when I'm working on word for mac but I haven't used the feature on purpose. I have had a mark or 2 made on files when highlighting something though.
Jason, If you can't find a file on a mac just use the Find…"
David Petro replied to Joanne's discussion old windows user with new mac questions in the group SMART Mac Users"I am also a windows user who went Mac last year. I am currently using a Mac book pro running Parallels to get my windows apps. The only problem I had was that Smart Response didn't work at first but it seems that those problems have been dealt…"
Joanne replied to Joanne's discussion old windows user with new mac questions in the group SMART Mac Users"Thank you! Most encouraging! I was reading older posts and getting very, very nervous! In fact, the computer is still in the box! Refuse to unpack and set up until I am sure that it will meet all of my SB needs! My son also suggested Boot Camp.…"
Jason Schmidt replied to Joanne's discussion old windows user with new mac questions in the group SMART Mac Users"Most certainly! Files created with the Notebook are compatible cross-platform. There are a few things that you will need to get used to working in a Mac environment, but for the most part it is pretty compatible.
Your SMART Board tools and the…"

.....been using Windows forever and find myself in a position where I must upgrade. Considering a Mac Pro Book for a variety of other reasons, but am very nevous about the change and how it will effect my SB use and Notebook files. What differences can I expect between Notebooks created in Windows vs. Mac ??? My school is 100% Windows. Will I be able to use/share SB files created on Mac to a Windows operating system and vice versa?
