<div dir="ltr">Dear <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Susanne,</span><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br></span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">To your second question:</span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br></span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">I am not sure it is possible to do what you want to do in the way that you are seeing to do it. I can offer, however, a kludgy workaround.</span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br></span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">1) go to System Preferences –> Users & Groups; unlock the control panel (bottom left), if necessary</span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">2) Add a new account (say, "Teaching") and make it an Administrator (this is not, strictly speaking, necessary, but it will allow you deal with system-level emergencies, should they arise)</span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">3) Click Login Options (below the list of users). In the resulting pane, click the "Show fast user switching menu as" box</span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">4) Close </span>System Preferences</div><div><br></div><div>You should now see, in the upper right end of the menu bar, a dropdown menu of all users. Choose your "Teaching" user and that will open to a "new" user with a fully customizable environment (including, of course, the desktop). HOWEVER, it will NOT have access to "your" files. I think it is possible to get around this limitation if you have, for example, Dropbox. Simply log into your Dropbox account from the "new" account and it should sync with your Dropbox. As long as your teaching materials are in your Dropbox folder on "your" account, you should have access to them on your "new" account. Correspondingly, any changes you make to the file in your "new" account will be reflected in the copy of the file you have on "your" account when you switch back.</div><div><br></div><div>As I noted, this is hardly an elegant solution. If anyone has a better one, I would love to hear it.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br></div><div>Erik</div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br></span></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Apr 6, 2020 at 11:53 PM Schermann Susanne via KineJapan <<a href="mailto:kinejapan@mailman.yale.edu">kinejapan@mailman.yale.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div><div>Dear all,</div><div><br></div><div>I prepare online classes now and I face two problems - any help or advice is highly appreciated!</div><div>I use a MacPro High Sierra 10.13.6, and the software is updated.<br></div><div><br></div><div>1) In Power Point presentations, I use hyperlinks.
