Open an existing PowerPoint presentation or create a new presentation.
3.
In PowerPoint, from the Breeze menu, you can add audio narration, quizzes, presenter
information, and other options to your presentation. You can include attachments such as web
pages or documents and you can customize themes (the look and feel of the presentation viewer)
for each presentation.
4.
On your local computer, follow the steps for
“Previewing a presentation” on page 14
.

Publish the presentation to a Breeze server. You can also burn the presentation to a CD or
upload the presentation to the web using a third-party FTP software program.
Determining presentation goals
No matter what kind of presentation you want to create, it is helpful to do some planning before
you start. Consider first what you want the user to learn, achieve, and so on as a result of viewing
your presentation. Defining this goal from the beginning lets you create a comprehensive plan for
success. After you have defined the goal of the presentation, you can use an existing PowerPoint
presentation and enhance it with the most effective Breeze Presenter options.
