Guide to Using Microsoft Office Files
With the help of converters and viewers from Microsoft® Office Update, CDE can share its Microsoft Office files with people who have different versions of Office applications, or even with people who don't have Office at all.
Converters allow you to open files created by CDE using different versions of your Office programs.
Viewers allow those who don't have Office programs to see our work. Simply download the appropriate viewer along with our Office files.

Macintosh
Important Microsoft PowerPoint® X for Mac uses the same file format as PowerPoint 2001 (Mac), PowerPoint 98 (Mac), PowerPoint 2002 (Microsoft Windows), PowerPoint 2000 (Windows), and PowerPoint 97 (Windows). Users of all of these versions of PowerPoint can share presentations without having to install special converters. However, Macintosh computers and computers running Microsoft Windows might use different fonts. For best results for sharing presentations with Windows users, users should install the additional fonts available in the Value Pack folder on the Microsoft Office v. X CD-ROM. Also, PowerPoint X does not support the new animation effects in PowerPoint 2002 or new animation features such as simultaneous animation and timelines. If a presentation created in PowerPoint 2002 does not look good in PowerPoint X, users can turn off animations by selecting the Show without animation check box in the Set Up Show dialog box (Slide Show menu, Set Up Show command).
