Why can't I view the shows?
The shows are constructed with the Powerpoint application of Microsoft Office
2003. If you do not have this program, there might be some difficulties. If
what you have is the Powerpoint Viewer, you can see the shows in fullscreen
format. In this case, you have to hit ESC at the end of each show to get out of
the fullscreen.
Also, it was constructed for IE7 in a WinXP environment. If you use
Windows Vista and/or Microsoft Office 2007, you may have to save
the shows to run them.
If you use Mozilla Firefox, you have to hit ESC at the end of each show
to get out of the fullscreen.
If you use NETSCAPE, the shows won't run at all though you can still
access the notes which are in PDF.
Why can't I view the IPA
fonts?

Why can't I view the notes?
The notes are in PDF. To read them, you will need Adobe Reader, the latest can
be
downloaded for free.
Too slow?
The PPT shows are rather large because of the recordings. It may take a while to
download and play if you have a slow connection or a slow processor. Sorry.
