Powerpoint help
Powerpoint presentations on our website can be opened with Microsoft Powerpoint. However, there are free alternatives such as OpenOffice or Microsoft Powerpoint Viewer which lets you view and print the documents on a computer that does not have Microsoft Powerpoint installed.
Support
Unfortunately, we can't offer support for your use of third-party software: installing and using it is your responsibility, however, if you have difficulties try the following.
- You may need to select Read only to view the presentation.
- To see notes and use it as a Powerpoint presentation, you may need to save the file to your computer.
- Try saving the file, then opening it again in Microsoft Powerpoint or equivalent software, rather than viewing it in your browser. On a PC this is usually done by right clicking on the link and choosing 'Save Target As ...'
- Some of these documents are large files that might take a few minutes to download. You may not be able to print the document before the download is finished.
- If a document is not properly cached (saved) by your browser then you will have repeated problems trying to open it. You may find that clearing your cache will enable you to open it.
