Notes about the DOSITS PowerPoint Presentations:
  1. Versions of PowerPoint before Office 2000 will not play the animated gif files. To view the animations, go to the web page referenced on the slide notes (either online or on this CD).
  2. In the PowerPoint presentation, there are notes for each slide. To look at these notes, view the Notes Page. These notes include brief descriptions of the slide and a web link for the related DOSITS page, which will contain further information on the topic of that slide. These notes are only a brief outline of each topic. For a complete understanding of the subject matter please refer to the web site.
  3. Inside of the folder for each PowerPoint is an additional Word document. This document contains the outline notes for each slide of the PowerPoint. The notes from each slide have been copied into Word for easier viewing. In the word document, the numbers on the left side of the page are the numbers of the corresponding PowerPoint slides. To avoid confusion read through the PowerPoint and the Word document prior to using the slide show.
The PowerPoint files should function correctly on Windows 98, NT, 2000 and XP and Macintosh OS 9 and OS X. The presentations on this website work best with Microsoft PowerPoint 2000 and later.
