***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.
