DOWNLOAD THE POWERPOINT VIEWER TOO...
Even if you do not own PowerPoint software you can still download the slides by using the Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer for Windows available for downloading here. The PowerPoint Viewer runs on Windows 3.1 and later, Windows NT 3.5 and later, and on Windows 95. Note: you will only be able to view slides in a slide show format using the Viewer. If you have PowerPoint software installed, refer to your PowerPoint manual for rearranging slides or adding lecture notes and slides.

STEP ONE: Print these instructions

  1. Print these instructions first so you can refer to them after downloading the slides.

STEP TWO: Download PowerPoint slides

  1. Go to your file manager or Win95 hard drive. Create a directory (folder) on your hard drive C:\NEEDLES. Switch back to your browser.

  2. Download:
      Or download all sixteen chapters of Needles PowerPoint slides at once.

     

  3. When the Save dialog box appears, select "Save to Disk." In the window that appears, look for the directory C:\Needles you created and double click on that folder. Click "OK." (Windows 95 users: When the Save Downloaded File appears, look for the directory C:\Needles you created and double click on that folder. Click Save.")

  4. The file you selected CHAPXX.EXE will be copied to your desktop. You will see a "Saving Location" dialog box.

STEP THREE: Uncompress the files and launch PowerPoint

  1. After the file has been saved to your desktop, leave your browser and go to your File Manager or Win95HD. Doubleclick on the NEEDLES folder you created in Step1. Double click on the file you downloaded CHAPXX.EXE.

  2. You will see your screen go blank and files will be inflated in DOS. At the completion of the inflation, your screen will automatically switch back to your File Manager. (Windows 95 users: You will see a black dialogue box and files will be inflated in DOS. At the completion of the inflation, your screen will read "Finished" at the top of the dialogue box, at which time you should close out the box.)

  3. For Windows 3.1 users, click on another folder outside the NEEDLES folder, then click back to the Needles folder. You should now see the PowerPoint file (CHAPXX.PPT). (This step is not necessary for Windows 95 users since the .PPT file automatically appears after uncompression.)
