Starting up SlideMaker2 and converting files

Including PowerPoint Files in Scenarios

PowerPoint files can be included into scenarios with the following three methods.

•Including all slides by dragging & dropping PowerPoint files

•Including all slides by double-clicking PowerPoint files s p.63

•Including only selected slides when checking thumbnails

If you include only a selection of slides, the animation settings that have been made using PowerPoint are ignored. s p.65

If all slides in a PowerPoint file are included in the scenario, the animation settings that have been made using PowerPoint are retained and the appear as usual when the scenario is projected using PC Free.

q Movie files included in a PowerPoint file cannot be played back on the scenario.

Slides that retain their animation settings are displayed in the cells of the scenario window with an ".EMA" extension. If you click on a cell with an ".EMA" extension, all of the animation operations are displayed in the animation check window.

Slides that have no animation settings are displayed in the cells with a ".JPG" extension.

• Thumbnails cannot be displayed if PowerPoint is not
installed on your computer.

 

• Although animations can be set in the properties window

 

of EMP SlideMaker2, animations set in advance in the

 

PowerPoint file operate more smoothly when played in the

 

scenario. To set animations in PowerPoint slides, we

 

recommend you set them in the PowerPoint file itself. If

 

you want to make animation settings for images, or if you

 

want to add animation settings to slides that lost their

 

animation settings when they were included in the

 

scenario, make the settings in the properties window of

 

EMP SlideMaker2. s p.73
