Help with Technical Stuff

All text documents available for editing are formatted in Microsoft® Word 97/2000/2002/2003/2007 (for the pc). When you click on the link, Word should open with the document in the active window. E-mail me if you require an earlier version of Word. I can go back to Word 2x for Windows® or 4.0 for the Mac. Word Perfect® and Microsoft® Works files are also possible. The Microsoft Excel® and PowerPoint® files are either 2003 or 2007. Free viewers are required for some of the attached documents. They can be downloaded by clicking on the icons below.

All slides are currently in .gif format. You can download these import them as a picture into a Word (or other word processing program) document, PowerPoint, or a graphics program. Always work with the large images rather than the thumbnails. If you're getting only tiny pictures, you've worked with the thumbnails (file names will include the word "small").

How to copy slides to your hard drive

If you are using a PC, you can right click on the image and you will see a menu containing a command that will allow you to save the image. If you are using a Mac, you can click and hold to see options for saving.

How to incorporate slides into Microsoft® Word

After you have saved the image file to your hard drive, open Word®. Within Word®, click on "Insert" and select "Picture." Locate the saved clip art file on your hard drive. Clicking "Okay" will insert the picture into your document.

You can incorporate the clip art into other applications by pasting the image into the document from your temporary clip board.

These files are not editable. For those of you without Word (or other word processing program which will read these files), PowerPoint, or graphics capability, Adobe® Acrobat® files are available for many slides. Note you get the Acrobat Reader tool bar within your browser once Acrobat Reader® is loaded.

The web site was developed in Microsoft® FrontPage 2003 SP-2 and Adobe® Acrobat® 7.05 using files developed in Microsoft® Word and Microsoft® PowerPoint 2002, 2003, and 2007.
