Hi there, I'm having difficulties opening any of the flipcharts. Can you please convert them into PowerPoint, so I can access them? The unit looks great but I can't actually give a fair rating until I can see the work. I'll be back to give a proper rating once this is rectified. I hope it can be sorted out soon! Thanks!
