3.Drag and drop the files you want to use from either the file window or thumbnail window into the scenario window. (You can also double-click a thumbnail to add the file to the scenario.)

To include a whole PowerPoint file (instead of individual slides), drag the PowerPoint icon itself into the scenario window. Dragging an entire file preserves the transitions set in PowerPoint.

4.Continue dragging files into the scenario window to build your presentation. Each slide appears in a numbered cell. The cell background color varies according to the type of file in the cell.

5.If you want, you can make changes to the scenario:

To rearrange cells, drag and drop them as necessary within the scenario window.

To delete a cell, right-click the cell and select Cut.

To check the animation for a slide, click its cell. A section appears at the bottom of the scenario window displaying each animation operation. (Slides using animation have an .EMA extension.)

You can also create transitions between slides, as described in the next section.

note

Transition effects created in PowerPoint look smoother than those you add with SlideMaker.

note

Unless you change the transition setting, your slides will automatically advance after 30 seconds by default.
