Technical Notes

Tutorials are web-based Powerpoint presentations, optimized for laptop screens and 15" to 17” monitors at 1024 x 768 resolution.  They are best viewed in MSIE 5.0 and higher.  You do not need Powerpoint installed on your computer.  If you are on a dial-up connection note that it may take up to 15 seconds for pages to load.

  • Adjust the frame size by dragging on the bar separating the slides from the outline.  

  • Expand or collapse the text in the outline to aid in navigation.  

  • Move forward and back through slides by clicking on the left and right arrows under the slide frame.

  • If the presentation is either too large or too small, the resolution on a Windows-PC can be adjusted by opening the Display Control Panel (under Start Menu->Settings) and adjusting the "Screen Area" slider under the "Settings" tab. (Mac OS X instructions forthcoming)
