So I recently switched to a Mac and got the MacBook but I am having some issues with working with documents.
I have iWorks installed and am trying to use my Mac for school but here are the issues I am facing.
My school colleagues sent me a powerpoint document to edit and I was able to open it and input my information but when I go to save it is where my problems start. I save it and select save a copy as a Powerpoint document and then go back to continuing to add my changes. Then I want to just click Save to update and keep my changes but it always asks me where I want to save it and if I want to Overwrite the original copy, it doesn't just save it as the same document with my updated changes.
So, I select to overwrite and when I go back to the document all of my information that I inputed is either gone or not correct!!!
I always have this same issue. I can't seem to save and work on a document sent to me from a Windows based program and just use Save to update changes, it always asked me to Overwrite or give it a new name, but then when I do my changes are not saved.
Sorry for the long post but I hope it's clear and someone out there can help me. I have to get this school assignment completed and this issue is not allowing me to do that.
Is there some method to convert documents to my Mac that I am missing or some step that I don't know about??????
Thanks for the help, I'm sure someone has run into this issue before?
