Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer 97 (2000 Release) for PowerPoint 2000 Users

This program allows users who don't have PowerPoint to open and view PowerPoint 2000 presentations.

Files of this type are indicated by this icon: 

The PowerPoint Viewer 97 supports PowerPoint 2000 files as well as those files created with previous versions of PowerPoint. The PowerPoint Viewer supports all PowerPoint 97 and PowerPoint 95 features. You can use it to view files created in both PowerPoint for Windows® and PowerPoint for the Macintosh. Your PowerPoint 2000 presentation may not look exactly the same as it does when viewed in PowerPoint 2000 because some of the PowerPoint 2000 features, such as picture bullets, automatic numbering, and animated GIF pictures are not supported by the Viewer.

Microsoft Word 97/2000 Viewer (Word 2000) (Windows 95/98/NT)

This program allows users who don't have Word to open and view Word 2000 documents.

Files of this type are indicated by this icon: 

With the Microsoft Word Viewer 97/2000, Microsoft Word users can share documents with those who do not have Word and users without Word can open and view Word documents. This product also allows users who wish to post rich-formatted Word documents on the Internet to expand their online audience to people who might not have Word. This viewer also allows users to view and print documents created in the Word native file format, even if they do not have Word. Users are allowed to zoom, outline, or view page layout, headers/footers, footnotes, and annotations.

Word Viewer 97/2000 includes the following features:

• Online Layout View for easy reading of online documents, including those with background colors and textures
• Document Map for point-and-click navigation through longer documents
• Hyperlink navigation to open any hyperlink in a document with your installed browser

The viewer does not allow users to edit files. However, it allows them to copy information from a document to other applications.

Microsoft Word Viewer 97/2000 will follow hyperlinks located in Word documents. Word Viewer 97/2000 is built to automatically configure itself as a Helper Application for Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer. This allows users to automatically view Word documents that are linked to Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) pages on a LAN or on the Web in the user's default Web browser. Word Viewer by itself can follow document hyperlinks on a LAN. This new capability allows users to browse rich document systems on a LAN in much the same way a Web browser allows you to explore the Internet.

To install this program:

1. Download the file by clicking the Download Now! button and following the instructions in the dialog boxes.
2. Double-click the wd97vwr32.exe program file on your hard disk to start the Setup program.
3. Word Viewer 97 Setup will prompt you for a folder in which to install Word Viewer. The default folder location for Word Viewer is <drive>:\Program Files\WordView on a Windows 95/98 system.
4. Click "Install" to install Word Viewer 97/2000.
5. If Word Viewer Setup detects Word version 6.x or later on your system, Setup will prompt you to determine which application should open Word documents by default. The default application is used to open files with .doc file extensions when they are double-clicked in Windows 95.
   • Choosing "Open with Word" means that Word for Windows will be used by default to open Word files.
   • Choosing "Open with Viewer" means that Word Viewer will be used by default to open Word files.

   ---

   Note:  If you select the "Open with Word" option and you want to restore Word as the default Word document handler, you will have to uninstall Word Viewer and then start Word so that it can restore its Registry information. For more information see "Installation and Maintenance" in the Word Viewer 97 Readme.doc installed with the viewer.

   ---

Instructions for use:

Go to the folder where you installed the Word Viewer, and run WordView.exe. The program will prompt you for a Word document to load.

To remove this program:

1. On the Start menu, point to the Settings entry, and choose Control Panel. Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
2. In the list on the Install/Uninstall tab, find the entry Microsoft Word Viewer 97, and highlight it. Click Add/Remove.
