The information in this article applies to:

= 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.
