This is a powerpoint slide show.

To view it you either need the MS Powerpoint product (which yopu have to pay for)

OR

The powerpoint viewer (which is free). You can download it from here:

Answerbank has censored the web site address.

It is because it contains the text F A M I L Y I D (it does not like Y I D)

To get round this, go to the Microsoft Download Site and search for PowerPoint Viewer. Here is the site
