Thank you James Knott. My laptop IS a ThinkPad.
I will take your advice and press F7.

I have an older IBM laptop that I transfer my PowerPoint presentations to
for school visits. And with some tweaking, it turns into OpenOffice.org2
Empress, on my laptop.
I want to know what buttons I have to press, to make what I have on my
laptop's screen show up on the school's large screen. In the past,
someone just did a few clicks on my laptop and it was UP there. This
time I have to do it myself, and I can't find out what buttons to click.
There is a wealth of information in the HELP but nothing about what to do
to get the laptop screen to show up on that bigger classroom screen.
Some help would be appreciated. Thank you.
That would depend on your laptop model. For example, on ThinkPads, it's
usually the F7 button that changes display modes. This applies to all
applications, not just OpenOffice. Also, you can often also configure
multiple displays, so that the laptop display shows one thing and the
presentation displays another. Again, this is dependent on the laptop
you're using.
Please respond only to the mail list ([email protected]) and not
directly to me.
