Windows XP Service Pack
2 users
With Windows XP Service Pack 2, Microsoft have
introduced a heightened level
of security which may affect how this software runs. You may receive
warning
messages alerting you that the program contains active content and/or
pop-ups.
To ensure that the program runs as intended, it
may be necessary to amend
your Internet Explorer browser settings.
Select Tools > Internet Options and select the
Advanced tab. Scroll down to
the Security options and check the box against 'Allow active content
to run
in files on 'My Computer'. On restarting the browser, the program
should now
function as intended. This setting only makes changes to the way
in which
the browser handles files actually installed on your computer hard
drive; it
does not affect permissions for files on a network or the Internet.
Inserting links to activities
in other Microsoft documents.
It is possible to insert a link into a Word document
/ PowerPoint
presentation to one of the actual activities. When clicked on, this
link
will open the activity up in a new window.
It is very easy to insert the link. First you need
to know where the Starter
and plenary activities are installed on the machine. On most it
is in the C
drive in the program files. This is the default when the CD is installed.
The following is instructions for PowerPoint, Word
is exactly the same:
In a PowerPoint slide have the cursor in the place where you would
like the
link and click on 'Insert' then 'Hyperlink'. This will open up a
box. You
will need to find the starter or plenary you wish to link to. So
click on
'File' where it says 'Browse to' on the right hand side. This will
allow you
to look on your computer for the exact starter or plenary.
In the pop up you will need to first go to 'My
Computer' Then click on the
'C drive' (or Local Disk it may be called) then go to the 'Program
files'
folder. In there you will find a folder called 'Hodder' in there
is yet
another folder called 'Hodder Science' and a folder called 'Science
A' (or B
or C depending on which CD you wish you use) will be in there.
(When each of the starter and plenary CD is loaded
they will add to this
location, so if they have both B and C there will be folders called
'Science
B' and 'Science C'.)
Open up the folder and you will see a whole list
of activities. If you can't
see anything, at the bottom of the pop up you will see a drop down
list
entitled 'Type of file' set this to 'All files'.
All the activities are numbered logically, so for
instance the starter for
spread 4.5 is 04_5_S or the plenary extension for the same spread
would be
04_5_PX.
Choose the activity you want, click on the icon
that looks like an internet
icon and click on 'OK'
You will come back to the pop up screen. At the
top of the screen you will
see a box entitled 'Text to display' This will be filled at the
moment with
a very long name, delete this and insert something more appropriate
e.g.
'example' or 'starter'.
Click OK and you are ready. To test it worked,
simply play the PowerPoint
show and click on the link!
Remember when you use the PowerPoint or Word
document you must be using a
computer that has the starters and plenaries on the computer or
else it
won't be able to find it.
