- System Requirements to View the CD-ROM Lectures
- 486DX 66 MHz processor or higher (Pentium
processor recommended).
- 8MB of RAM
- Windows NT or Windows 95
- SVGA color monitor (set at 1 million colors and
640x800)
- Double-speed CD-ROM drive
- WAV-compatible sound card and speakers
- Software Required to View the CD-ROM Lectures
- The Power of Economics CD-ROMs uses Microsoft
PowerPoint software. Note that you do not need to have
PowerPoint software on your computer. A PowerPoint
viewer is built right into each CD-ROM.
- To use the viewer, all you need to do is insert
the CD-ROM into your machine and the lectures
“boot up.” You then navigate through the
lectures in “slide show” mode with both
audio and visual slides.
- Note, however, that if you have PowerPoint for
Office 97 or higher, you can access each lecture
directly off the CD-ROM by opening the appropriate
file in PowerPoint. There are several advantages to
doing so.
- First, it’s a little easier to navigate
through the lectures if you can see the slides in
the “slide” or “slide sorter”
modes. For example, in some cases, you may not be
able to finish a lecture and you may want to resume
viewing later at a particular slide. It’s a
bit easier to find that slide in the “slide
sorter” mode and then click on to go into
“slide show” mode.
- Second, in the “notes page mode,” you
can make notes to accompany each slide. However, in
the notes mode, you do not hear the audio
track.
- Third, if you want to print out the slides, the
easiest way to do so is in the “slide
sorter” mode. Just select three or six slides
per page and you’ll save some paper and see
the slides in hard copy.
Read pages 3-5 of the Learning Guide that accompanies the
CD-ROMS (The Power of Macroeconomics). These pages will
cover the following topics:
- How to use this Study Guide with your Multimedia
CD-ROM Lectures
- An Overview of the CD-ROM Lectures
- A Chapter Map to your Textbook
