Hi Dianne, It depends on what you want to achieve and on your laptop's hardware. For instance, if you have a laptop with an nVidia graphics chip, and if you're using the nVidia drivers, then I'd recommend using the nvidia-settings tool to set up your displays appropriately. You can quite easily set up a cloned-screen (both laptop display and the projector showing the same output) or a multi-screen (each attached display device having a different output on it) setup. Also, if you are considering using the files on a Windows machine, don't forget that you can quite easily install OpenOffice on the Windows machine too. Then you wouldn't have to keep "changing formats". Grant. -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
