3. Using the CD You should be able to start the CD by opening the Open_CD file and following the links from there. The left frame shows the main categories and themes. Most of the files are either Word or PowerPoint files. They are opened in the browser, or can be viewed if you have these programmes. There is a folder called Install_viewers that has some of the viewers than can be downloaded to read word, excel, powerpoint and adobe files. These may be useful to Mac users.
