dialog and click Next. The PowerFlashPoint

run the PowerFlahsPoint setup program again.
If your system does not
have Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1, while
installing the .NET framework version 2.0,
you may be asked to install the Microsoft
Windows Installer 3.1 as well. In this case,
you have to download and install the Windows
installer 3.1 before proceeding with the installation
of Microsoft .NET frame work 2.0. Then install
DigitalOfficePro: PowerFlashPoint.

At present the PowerFlashPoint
does not support letter by letter and word

will be supported in PowerFlashPoint’s
future versions.

master slide custom animations. This feature
will be supported in PowerFlashPoint’s
future versions.
25.
Some of the letters in texts are missing why?
If you find that certain
letters are missing in the converted flash
presentation, then please apply another font
that is installed on your system (Arial, Times
New Roman etc.) and try converting again.
If a presentation contains embedded fonts
and if that font is not installed on your
system, the texts with that fonts may not
appear in the converted flash presentation.
This limitation will be removed in PowerFlashPoint’s
future versions.
26. Why do sometimes
the letters not get aligned with the rest
of the text?
This problem happens when
a word in the presentation contains multiple
font styles like font size, font name, underline,
italic, bold etc. To avoid this problem, use
the same font style for a word.
27. My PowerPoint presentation contains
a lot of speaker notes. Will the PowerFlashPoint
allow my audience to view the notes after
conversion?
Yes. With our unique player
interface, the viewers can read the speaker
notes as well as view thumbnails for each
slide in the presentation.
