Chapter 6: Working with Breeze Servers
Publishing to a Macromedia Breeze server
After creating and previewing your presentation, you can publish the presentation directly to a
Breeze server in your publishing list. (For more information, see
“Managing the Breeze server
publishing list” on page 84
.) You can fully integrate Breeze Presenter presentations with Breeze so
that, for example, presentations containing quizzes can have quiz results automatically sent to and
managed by a Breeze serve.
Note:
To publish to a Breeze server, you must be connected to the Internet and have a Breeze
account.
When you publish to Breeze, the presentation is published to the Content library. The
presentation can be taken from the Content library, and pulled into Breeze Meeting or Breeze
Training.
Publishing a presentation to a Breeze server or to the Content library involves these general steps:
•
Selecting a Breeze server
•
Logging in to Breeze
•
Selecting a presentation save location
•
Entering presentation information
•
Setting permissions
Selecting a Breeze server
The first step in publishing a presentation to a Breeze server, is to select the server the server from
the publishing list to which you want to publish.
To select a server from the publishing list:

In PowerPoint, open a presentation (PPT file).
2.
From the Breeze menu, select Publish.
3.
On the left side of the Publish dialog box, select Breeze Server.
4.
Check that the information listed under
Breeze
Server
is correct. If the information is not correct
or if you need to publish to a different server, click Change Server.
5.
(Optional) Check the Presentation Information area on the right side. If you want to edit any
of the options, such as Presenter Name or Loop Presentation, click Settings.
6.
(Optional) If you want to publish the presentation source files (PPT and PPC) along with the
SWF file, select Upload Source Files to the Server. This option is useful if multiple authors are
working on a presentation or if you think the presentation will need to be updated later and you
want to keep all of the files stored in one location.
7.
(Optional) You can change the theme by clicking on the Theme pop-up menu and selecting a
different theme. (The preview is updated to reflect your choices.)
8.
Click Publish.
The presentation is created and the Macromedia Breeze Login screen appears.
The next section describes how to log in to your Breeze account.
