The three presentations in boxes of this color were created by Elene Sandorff,an English teacher from Morton, Illinois, who gives us permission to use thismaterial. Sandorff majored in English at the University of Nebraska; she also

holds a master's in Learning Disabilities from Bradley University.

Some Notes on the Use of PowerPoint Presentations

The presentations listed above were prepared on a Macintosh with

Powerpoint 98. We know that they work with that product installed on the

computer (either PC or Macintosh), and we know that they work with Office

2000. You may have to go to the Preferences of your browser and set the applications

menu to open the presentation with Powerpoint. Either that, or you can download the

presentation to your desktop, open your Powerpoint software, and then open the

downloaded file. If the presentation does not immediately open to the full-screen slide,

you can click on "View Show" in the Slide Show menu, and the first slide should then

open.

If you do not have Powerpoint on your PC, you can download afree Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer 97 (2000 Release) for use onfor Windows 95, 98, and 2000 and Windows NT operatingsystems. Click on the icon to the right to go to the download

page (where you will find full instructions for downloading andinstallation). Click HEREto download a similar device for Macintosh

computers.The presentations are not timed in any way, and you can move through them at your

own pace. You can then cause each animation in the slide show to take place in turn by

striking the keyboard's space-bar or clicking the mouse-button, or using the "page up"

and "page down" arrows or buttons to move forward and backward in the presentation.

Sometimes, more than one click will be required, but be patient. Once the presentation is

downloaded, the speed of the animations is a function of your computer's processor, not

the Web server or the Internet connections. These clicks also take the user from slide to

slide. The last click on the last slide will cause the presentation to end automatically.

Some sounds are embedded in the presentation, coordinated (in theory, anyway)

with the moving graphics. If you are in a lab situation, you might want to mute your

computer or wear headphones so that the sound of a clanking typewriter and the zapping

laser displays do not irritate your neighbors. If your computer does not have a sound card,

the presentation should work fine without sound.

When you move the mouse cursor across the slide, an icon will appear in the lower

left-hand corner of the window. Clicking that icon reveals a dialog box which allows you

another means of moving forward and backward in the presentation (or ending it

altogether) and selecting which slide you wish to view. You can also select a colored

"pen" that allows you to make marks on the slide. This is especially useful for instructors

who wish to highlight certain elements on the slide presentation. You can leave the pen

"selected" as you move from slide to slide using the space-bar.

Hyperlinks embedded within the slides (as either colored text or an information "i"

icon) will take the user to pages within the Guide to Grammar and Writingthat further

explore the grammatical issue being discussed. The Powerpoint presentation remains

"on" in the background (It won't move without you!) and you can return to the

presentation at any time.
