Slide Show palette
Youll need to access the Slide Show palette if you want to build a
slide show or view a slide show. Choose Layout > Slide Show to
open the palette. This is a floating palette that can be kept open to cre-
ate, configure, and play slide shows.
You can select the following options in the Slide Show palette:
Fit to screen
Reduces or enlarges the documents slides so they fit
within the screen area of the system used to play the slide show. Can-
vas calculates a scaling factor based on the size of the systems mon-
itor and the resolution setting.
Loop
Causes the slide show to play continuously until you interrupt
it. When Canvas reaches the end of the document, it begins the slide
show from the first slide.
Show Pointer
Displays a pointer on screen during playback. Select
this option and then select the pointer from the pop-up menu. You
can control the pointer with the mouse during the slide show, so you
can indicate important items in the presentation.
Auto Play QuickTime movies (Mac only)
Causes any QuickTime
movie files that have been placed in the Presentation document to
begin playing automatically. When a slide containing a movie is
played, Canvas loads the movie and begins playing it if this option is
selected. QuickTime is not currently supported in Canvas for Win-
dows.
Advance Every _ Seconds
Makes the slide show self-running by
advancing from one slide to another after a specified interval, without
any intervention from the operator. Enter the number of seconds in
the text box. The exact timing between slides depends on the speed of
the system used for playback and the complexity of the illustrations.
Progressive Build (Windows)
The Progressive Build option in this
palette will allow you to play a self-running slide show either layer
by layer or slide by slide. While playing your self-running show, you
