How to share Word documents

There are 2 ways:

1. Use Flash Paper. This converts a Word (or any document) into a Flash ".swf" file, ready to upload into your meeting room or content library.

To get Flash Paper, download from http://webconf.det.nsw.edu.au/admin/home/homepage/FlashPaper.exe and save to your desktop. You will be prompted for your Adobe Connect id (your full email address) and password.

If you're on a TAFE computer you will then need to log an IT help desk call ... ask them to install Flash Paper from the file you downloaded to your desktop. You may need to tell them that it is part of the TAFE NSW Adobe Connect licence, and that we have a site licence for FlashPaper. If you have any problems contact the Connect Coordinator in your Institute .

Pros:
Uses less bandwidth so it runs more smoothly during meeting.
You can turn "Sync" on or off just like you can a PowerPoint in Breeze.
You still have easy access to other pods in the meeting.
Participants can print the document from their end.
Cons:
You can't type into the document during the meeting.

2. Another way is to use "Share My Computer Screen..." then select your Word document under the Applications list.

Pros:
You can type into the document during the meeting.
You can hand control of the document over to other people who can then type into it too.
Cons:
Uses more bandwidth so may slow meeting down.
For the presenter, the Word document must stay on top of Breeze window, so you won't have easy access to the meeting pods.
