To access the CarpePpt macro that is pre-loaded in this presentation, you must set the security settings appropriately. Go to Tools → Macro → Security and select Medium or Low. If it is set to High, you will be unable to run any macros.

Known Bugs?
• This is not really a bug, but…
If your computer spontaneously loses power (e.g. from a bad battery) before you are done, lecture.xml will not be created. However, the file tempo.txt is appended every time the presenter advances a slide, and the archivist can use the perl script tempo2xml to convert it to lecture.xml
• All known bugs have been fixed in this version. If you would like to report a new bug, please send email to [email protected]
