appears. When you edit the object, changes are automatically sent to linked instances of the object in all documents. Because the object is linked by only a reference to another file, if any of the linked files change locations, the link will be disrupted. To move linked files without disrupting the references, you must move all linked files as well as the entire directory structure so that the rela- tive locations of the files don’t change. When you edit a linked object, the object’s application opens in a separate window. When you finish editing, you close the application to return to the document containing the link. Embedding    When you embed an object in a document, the object itself (not just a reference) is copied into the document. Therefore, a document can be moved to another computer without losing the object. Slide Shows Creating slide shows You can create Canvas presentations or slide shows for use on both Mac OS and Windows platforms. When creating a presentation in Canvas for Mac, save the presenta- tion document as a Canvas file (.CNV). You can then send the Can- vas file to another Canvas user (either Mac or Windows), and they can open the file and view the presentation (see “Viewing slide shows,” page 13.175) within Canvas. When creating a presentation in Canvas for Windows, you can save the presentation in two ways: Canvas file (.CNV):  If you save it as a .CNV file, the presenta- tion can be opened in Canvas for Windows and Mac. Canvas Slide Show (.EXE):  An .EXE file is a self-running appli- cation that can only be executed on a Windows platform. You don’t need Canvas to run this file (see “To play the slide show in Windows (.EXE),” page 13.176). To create a slide show 1 Choose File > New and select Presentation as the Type of Doc- ument. Tip Remember to first save your presentation as a Canvas file so you can make changes to the original file and view the presentation on either plat- form.
