Directions for downloading and viewing PowerPoint presentation WITH videos embedded in the slides.

The PowerPoint files must be extracted from the .zip file and saved together in one file folder for proper operation of the embedded videos. Trying to start the presentation from within a .zip file should generate a warning: "This application may depend on other compressed files in this folder..." Take heed - the only way to successfully run a PowerPoint presentation with embedded files is to download and extract files correctly. Do not rename or move any individual files.

  1. When the .zip file has finished downloading, double-click the compressed folder icon. Look for the "Folder Tasks" tab in  the task (left side) pane of the Windows Explorer window that opens. Click on "Extract all files". The "Extraction Wizard" screen will appear. Click "Next".
  2. When you see the prompt to "Select a Destination", either "Browse" and select a folder of your choice OR accept the default "Desktop" location. If you choose to "Browse" to a non-default location, you have the option of creating a new folder. Click "Next".
  3. After extraction, make sure the "Show extracted files" checkbox is checked and click "Finish". A new window will open displaying the "SANE" folder containing all of the curriculum files. Double-click the "SANE" folder to view the contents.
  4. Double-click the folder called "PowerPoint Files". Double click on the batch file called "play.bat", NOT the "SANE091027.ppt" or "pptview.exe" files to run the PowerPoint presentation.

    You must run the batch command "play.bat" in the directory you created during the download. Starting the presentation ANY OTHER WAY will result in failure to properly display embedded videos.
Do not rename or move any individual files. If you store the files in a different way or rename them, the videos will not work when you open the PowerPoint presentation on your computer.
