Customizing Presentations
3-9
Viewing slides
You can run your presentation from the Slide Sorter to check your changes.
Select the slide (or slides) you want to view, then click
View
(or double-click
the
Close-up
window).
The Presentation Options dialog box appears, with the current slide (or the
first selected slide) as the “from” slide, and the last slide in the file (or the
last selected slide) as the “to” slide. See Chapter 2 for an explanation of how
to advance through the slides in your presentation.
Note:
When you are ready to give your presentation, we recommend that
you go to the Presentation Selector and start the presentation from there.
Saving your changes
After you’ve customized your presentation, click
Save
in the Slide Sorter to
save your changes before you exit. If you choose Exit before saving recent
changes, you’re prompted to save those changes.
Adding transition effects and timing
Transitions are special effects that determine how a slide appears on the
screen. If you assigned transition effects through your application software,
such as Freelance or PowerPoint, those transitions will not work with the
MediaExpress system. However, you can use Acrobat Exchange to assign
transition effects to your presentation prior to showing it in the
MediaExpress system.
Acrobat Exchange is the best and easiest way to assign transition effects to
your presentation. It's the convenient way to work on your presentation
while traveling to your destination, or before you leave the office.
If you have an existing MediaExpress presentation, or you don't have access
to your computer, you can assign transition effects in the MediaExpress
system—without using your computer. Simply press the Transition button
in the Slide Sorter and assign effects to the selected slides.
