Microsoft PowerPoint and Microsoft Word must be installed to generate project reports in PPT and DOC formats.
It is recommended that you associate the AVI animation file format with the default Microsoft program that is provided for viewing these files. If this file type is associated with other programs, animations that are embedded in reports in PPT and DOC formats may not display properly when the reports are viewed using Microsoft PowerPoint or Microsoft Word.
The file type associations are set in the Control Panel on Windows systems.
Changing the file type associations as described restores Windows default behavior and file type associations, which other graphic programs might have overridden. Changing these file type association settings should not cause problems when using any other programs.
The *.avi animation file type should be associated with Windows Media Player.
The correct file type associations enable Microsoft PowerPoint and Microsoft Word to open a report and display embedded animations.
