SUMMARY
=======
 
This article lists the features in PowerPoint version 4.0c for Windows that
are not included in PowerPoint version 4.0 or 4.0a.
 
NEW FEATURES IN POWERPOINT 4.0C
===============================
 
Windows PowerPoint 4.0c Can Open Files from Macintosh PowerPoint 3.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------
 
PowerPoint 4.0 was originally designed to open files created in all
existing versions of PowerPoint for Windows and PowerPoint 4.0 for the
Macintosh. Version 4.0c was redesigned to allow you to also open files
created in version 3.0 of PowerPoint for the Macintosh. This feature
replaces the workaround documented in the 4.0 README.HLP file.
 
Lotus Notes/FX Support
----------------------
 
With PowerPoint for Windows, version 4.0c, data can now be exchanged
between PowerPoint 4.0 OLE objects and Lotus Notes. Data is exchanged by
embedding a PowerPoint 4.0 Presentation object or PowerPoint 4.0 Slide
object into a Lotus Notes document. The PowerPoint Help file has been
updated to include the description of the field names that are supported,
and the method for creating and using a Lotus Notes form that uses this new
feature. To find this information, run PowerPoint Help and search for Lotus
Notes.
 
Summary Information Can Be Edited When PowerPoint Is Server
-----------------------------------------------------------
 
In earlier versions of PowerPoint 4.0, the Summary Information command is
unavailable (dimmed) when PowerPoint is operating as an OLE server (editing
a PowerPoint object that was inserted in another container). With version
4.0c, the command is available so that you can view and edit the summary
information for the object (PowerPoint 4.0 Slide or PowerPoint 4.0
Presentation) you are editing.
 
Additions to the README.HLP and POWERPNT.HLP Files
--------------------------------------------------
 
Additions for the new features, answers to some of the common questions,
and some corrections have been made to the Help files that come with
earlier versions of PowerPoint 4.0.
