***NOTE: The Micrografx Designer/Draw (*.DRW), AutoCAD Format 2-D (*.DXF) and Targa (*.TGA) filters are not included with Office 2000. These filters can be obtained by either of the following ways:
  • Installing PowerPoint 2000/Office 2000 over PowerPoint 97/Office 97, which already has the filters installed.


  • Installing the filters using the Office Converter Pack (in the Microsoft Office 2000 Resource Kit).



MORE INFORMATION

PowerPoint Setup installs the graphic import filters into the following folder:


   C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Grphflt 

If other programs install 32-bit graphics filters into this folder, PowerPoint can use them. However, Microsoft does not guarantee that PowerPoint will work correctly with additional filters.
