The following presentations are in Corel "Show It" format. If you are using Netscape or Internet Explorer, you must get the plug-in to view these presentations. Once you get and install the plug-in, you will be able to view the slides. To advance slides and bullets within the slides, click the left mouse button or hit the spacebar.
