Download
According to your internet link (phoneline or cable) time for downloading full versions will vary. PCs with phone modem (58kbs) will take several
minutes for larger files. Flash files are recommended for faster download. You may want to save the series on your hard disc to run it with the Acrobat Viewer or in case of
Flash with Flash Viewer. If your PC cannot open the flash format you will need to download the viewer (free of charge)
here Flash-pps will only open on the screen if your internet connection is fast enough. Otherwise download the zip-folder and run the file from your hard disk.
To download zipped Flash files follow these simple steps:
1. save the file on your hard disk
2. extract the zip-file (unzip)
3. double-click on the index.html file (preferably in the Internet Explorer browser)
4. klick on Articulate's bar 'Launch Presentation' (if necessary use ctrl-click to start the show)
5. depending on the format click the watermark icons at the bottom of the slides to advance
[Each ppt series is under a password in order to prevent it from being changed. For information, suggestions or corrections please click
here. Flash series do not need password]
If you do not have an Acrobat Reader/PowerPoint Viewer (version 7) you may download it free of charge. It will enable you to open pdf files and to view PowerPoint
Shows (ppt) in the pdf format. If you discover distortions of the pictures under version 7 you may have to use an earlier version of the Acrobat Reader/PowerPoint Viewer. Both programs can
be downloaded separately: pdf or ppt/pps)
