I installed the CD from the 2007 edition of the book, but I can't find the additional materials. Where are they?
The CD should have installed a new folder under My Documents that is titled Microsoft Press - check for the folder on your computer and you'll find the book materials there.

I downloaded the Word and PowerPoint templates from the CD that came with the BBP 2007 book, but they don't seem to work - what do I need to do?
The templates that come with the BBP 2007 book require Microsoft Office 2007 to use them. To download Office 2003 versions of the templates, visit: http://www.beyondbulletpoints.com/public/91.cfm

I am not able to find the forms that the book says are on the CD - can you help?
Before you begin installing the CD, be sure that your computer meets the system requirements as described on page xvii of the introduction to the book. 

Remove the CD from the jacket at the back of the book, place it in your computer and follow the instructions to install it.  The CD should automatically launch the installation software. 

After you accept the end user license agreement, you will arrive at the main menu for the Companion CD.  On the left side, you'll see links to a range of resources, including a PDF version of the entire BBP book. 

Click on the Tools link to install the tools referenced in the book text.  You will see an Installation Wizard appear - follow the screens and click the Install button.  When you reach the Wizard Completed screen, click Finish. 

To find the tools that have now been installed on your computer, click the Windows Start Button and go to Documents, where you will find a folder titled Microsoft Press.

Open this folder and inside you'll find the Beyond Bullet Points 2007 folder which contains two folders:  a Bonus Content folder that includes PDFs of Chapter 11 and Appendixes A-D, and a Tools folder that contains the BBP Story Template and the BBP Storyboard Formatter.
