Step 1: Convert Your PowerPoint files to PDF
If you're using Microsoft Office on a MAC all you have to do is open the file, select "Save As", and then in the drop down menu select PDF! If you're on a PC all you need to do is download a free Print to PDF program and once installed you open the Powerpoint file and then select print. When the print screen comes up change the printer to PDF and hit print. This will save it as a PDF file and you're good to go!
Step 2: Import Your PDF to ForScore
There are a few ways you can do this. The first way is to connect your iPad to your computer and then drag the files into it. Another great way is to use Dropbox (click see my tutorial on setting up Dropbox) which is quick and easy to use.
Step 3: Adjust Your PDF To Fit The Screen
When you see the file loaded into ForScore you'll notice that it does not stretch to fit the screen entirely. To fix this tap the title of the file in the gray bar at the top of the screen and a pop-up window will appear just like the picture below. In the pop-up window you'll see a view of the file as it appears on the screen and right below that is a slider that adjusts your zoom. Use your finder to slide it until you can't see white on the right and left edges. Once you lift your finger you'll notice the file in the background adjusts so you can see if you zoomed the correct amount. When you're happy with it just tap outside of the pop-up window and it will disappear and save the settings to your file. Note that this will apply to all pages in that file not just the first one.
Step 4: Your Done!
