text: switching from dell to an i mac? i am on my school's computer. i was working on a dell that had microsoft word and such. i have now switched computer labs and i am using an imac. why cant i access word and my files that are saved under my school file each time i log onto any computer on campus? i feel like an idiot. probably the formats are different. are you using the same applciation, i mean ms word to open the files?
