[UW-GIS-L] Changing projection of a shape file?

[Charles Kiblinger]

One way is:

ArcToolbox > Data Management Tools > Projections and Transformations > 
Feature  > Project

You can select an output coord. system from a list, or just import it 
from an existing dataset that is already in the coord. system you want 
to convert to.
