How to Effectively View PowerPoint Presentations
on these Web Pages

To view a PowerPoint presentation, you do not need PowerPoint or a PowerPoint Viewer. The latest edition of Microsoft Internet Explorer is recommended . You can view the slides using Netscape or other non-Microsoft browser, such as Mozilla Firefox, but these programs will not allow you to see the slides in large (Slide Show) format with its animations.

• Getting into the PowerPoint program
• Begin by left clicking on the highlighted link.
• You might get a warning before the presentation opens that suggests that some of the presentation's formatting might be off. Click on the word "here" to view the PowerPoint presentation anyway.

• Viewing the Show

  • To View Show, click on the icon at the right lower corner of the screen that is labeled Slide Show. (You won't see this icon if you're not using Internet Explorer.)
  • You will now be in a full screen presentation of the show. Any animation or sound will be activated in this mode.
  • Forward Navigation - simply left click once in the middle of your screen for each slide. Or hit the space bar and slide will advance.
  • Reverse Navigation - Hit the Backspace on the keyboard.

• Terminating the Show
  • To end the Slide Show mode, hit the Esc key in the upper left of your keyboard.
  • To return to the web page where you started, hit the Back Button of your browser.

Alternatively, you may wish to just look at the slides without going into Slide Show mode (and you will miss the animations). You can click on the slide in the left column to move from slide to slide. Or, hitting the space bar will advance you to the next slide. The backspace key will send you back to the web page from whence you started. The Back Button will do the same.
