If you DO NOT HAVE MS Office on your PC, Please Read This First:
For those of you who do not Microsoft Office loaded into your computer, you will be deprived of the opportunity to view the class PowerPoint slides or print them to compliment your class note-taking. I recommend, but do not require, that you purchase MS Office for your own PC. However you may want to explore these alternatives:
1) Go to the Microsoft web site for a free PowerPoint viewer or click the following link:
Open the installation folder and install the software.
2) OpenOffice.org is an open source equivalent of MSOffice allowing you to use and save Office formatted files. Go to OpenOffice.org, download the software and you should be able to use the PowerPoint slides The great thing about this option is that you will get software that gives you MSOffice functionality, and it's free. (Warning: NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE POWERPOINT VIEWER!)
You must have access to and use your mymav account.
Click on this link to go to the powerpoint file page.
If you are not logged in to mymav enter username and password.
Select "View the File".
The PowerPoint slides will appear in the window of your browser.
If you would like to print the slides you'll first need to save the file. On the MS Explorer browser click the "Page" drop down menu and click "Save As...". On previous versions use "File" and "Save As..."
Save the file to whatever directory you choose.
Open the file in MS PowerPoint or compatible software.
Print slides as needed for class.
