Does PowerConverter XP require Microsoft .NET?
It is required if you have purchased PowerConverter XP and you plan to take full advantage of the animation features and multimedia capabilities of PowerPoint 2002 (Office XP) and PowerPoint 2003. "Dot NET" is the latest technology from Microsoft that helps to produce faster-running applications and improved functionality. Third-party software, such as PowerConverter XP, can be written to support .NET. Without .NET, many of the new features available in PowerConverter XP would not have been possible. The Microsoft .NET Framework is automatically installed with Windows XP service pack 2 and on Windows 2003 servers. It will also be included in all new products from Microsoft. For more information and to download the .NET framework, visit the .NET homepage at http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/.
Does PowerConverter XP require Macromedia Flash?
PowerConverter XP requires the Macromedia Flash viewer (which is free) to preview and play back your flash converted presentations. However, PowerConverter XP does not require Macromedia's authoring software. Most computers already have the Flash viewer present on their system. However, if it is not available on your computer, the first time you attempt to playback your flash-based presentation, your system will detect that it needs the Flash viewer and automatically download the free Flash viewer in under one minute on a dial-up connection so you can install it.
What do I need to do if I upgrade to a later version of PowerPoint?
When you upgrade to Office XP (PowerPoint 2002) or Office Systems 2003, and you have an earlier version of PowerConverter XP (i.e. PowerConverter XP Lite or PowerConverter XP), you may want to consider upgrading to PowerConverter XP, which fully supports the animation features and multimedia capabilities of PowerPoint 2002 (XP) and 2003.
