Using Designer for Presentations

You can make any presentation an on-screen presentation, or slide show. Designer uses the full screen to display a slide show.

You can assign different effects, called transitions, that control how one slide replaces another in the slide show. You can run a slide show within Designer, or you can create a standalone slide show to run on any computer that has Windows installed.

The Page Manager ribbon provides the tools you need to modify and produce a slide show.

When viewing a single page, you can click the Page Manager tool (keyboard shortcut CTRL+G) to display reduced "thumbnail" images of all the pages in your document. From the reduced view, you can double-click on any page to display that page in the page view.

To create a presentation, you put all the pages, or slides, in one document, and sort them into the correct order. Then you add transition effects and run the presentation.

To fill the screen with your slide, use the screen size as your page size (usually a landscape orientation). To make all the slides in your document a consistent size and orientation, use the Master Page.
