***NOTE: The Micrografx Designer/Draw (*.drw), AutoCAD Format 2-D (*.dxf) and Targa (*.tga) filters are only included with Office 2000 Premium; you must install Microsoft PhotoDraw 2000 located on disk 3 to obtain these filters. However, you can also obtain them in one of the following ways:
 * Install PowerPoint 2000 or Microsoft Office 2000 over PowerPoint 97 or Microsoft Office 97, which already has the filters installed.
 * Install the filters by using the Office Converter Pack (in the Microsoft Office 2000 Resource Kit).
 * Install the filters by using the stand-alone version of Microsoft PhotoDraw 2000.



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.
