1. What do I need to have in order to run Rose
Publishing PowerPoint presentations on my computer?
For the best possible performance, you will
need Microsoft PowerPoint® 2001 or higher already installed on
your computer.
2. Are these just artistic backgrounds?
No, these are ready-to-use PowerPoint presentations
with 80-350 slides including text, photos and illustrations.
3. I don’t have Microsoft PowerPoint®,
can I view the slides another way?
Microsoft PowerPoint® “Viewer” is
available as a free download at
Microsoft.com. In addition, if you cannot run PowerPoint®, all
Rose Publishing PowerPoint presentations provide a folder called "JPEGS.” This
folder contains the same slides as the presentations, but in the
Picture Viewer format. Picture Viewer comes preinstalled on many
computers. The results will not be as high quality as the PowerPoint® presentation,
but will be helpful in an emergency.
4. What do I need to have in order to view
and print the notes, handouts, booklet, or catalog?
Your computer must have Adobe Acrobat Reader® 4.0
or higher. If you do not have Adobe® Acrobat® Reader® you
can download a free copy of the software by following these instructions:
Copy the URL (web address) below into your Internet browser. Follow
the directions as they appear on Adobe's web site to download the
Reader.

For technical support, call Adobe at (800) 879-3219.
5. I have Microsoft PowerPoint® 2001 or
newer, but my presentation still does not work effectively. What
do I do?
If this happens, exit out of all programs.
Open Microsoft PowerPoint, and open the Rose presentation by clicking
on the File menu, click Open, and select the Rose PowerPoint presentation.
6. Do the Rose PowerPoint presentations have
videos and/or music along with the graphics and information provided?
Currently, Rose PowerPoint presentations
are for teaching use only. They provide the instructor with teacher’s
notes, student handouts, and well-researched, informative information
along with related paintings, photographs, and illustrations. For
this reason, videos and music are not provided.
7. Do I need to have an LCD projector in order
to show my presentations to the rest of the class?
A LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) projector,
projects the image from your computer onto a screen for classroom
viewing. For a more inexpensive route, you can display these PowerPoint
presentations on your computer monitor on your television screen
by using a PC-to-TV converter. Rose Publishing does not provide either
the LCD projector or the PC-to-TV converter.
8. I can open the presentation, however, none
of the hyperlinks work?
The hyperlinks work only while a slide show
is running—not while you are in normal view or slide sorter
view.
9. Will the Rose Publishing PowerPoint presentation
work in my TV's DVD player?
The Rose Publishing PowerPoint presentations
are all on a CD-ROM and will only work in a computer. Currently there
are no Rose Publishing slide shows available as DVDs.
10. Will my Rose Publishing PowerPoint presentation
work on any kind of computer?
The minimum requirements for PCs are: Pentium
III or better, Windows 98, 98 2nd ed., NT 4.0 with Service Pack 6,
Millennium, or Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Media Center Edition,
Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition,
and Windows Vista, a CD drive, 256-color Monitor.
The minimum requirements for Macintoshes are: Mac OS 8.5 or higher,
PowerPC, G3 or higher, a CD drive, 256-color monitor.
11. Am I allowed to add my own information
to the Rose PowerPoint presentations?
The Rose Publishing PowerPoint® presentation
is copyrighted. You may edit the presentation for classroom use only.
Keep in mind that editing the Rose PowerPoint presentations will
damage any hyperlinks preprogrammed in the original presentation.
Sales and/or distribution of your edited version will be considered
a copyright violation.
