Yes, I know this is a computer questions, but so few venture here anymore I thought I would put my question in the general area and hope people see it.

My school is converting over the summer from windows system computers to Macs. I have heard Macs are windows friendly, but how much so? Will I still be able to use my Windows based power points? Do I have to save them under a certain suffix to make them more accessible? What about my Word programs on which I have compiled years of notes and homework assignments?

Any help will be appreciated. School starts in about three weeks.

If you're using Microsoft Office you shouldn't have any issues....It will convert/transition smoothly.

If your school's computer technician is smart, they will be using LibreOffice, which will read Microsoft Office files anyway.

If both Jenn and I happen to be wrong, you can get LibreOffice as a portable program that will run from a flash drive.

I doubt they will be using whatever that is - mine is all Microsoft Office.

Indeed and agreed.
