Creating a ProViewer takes your project file and copies it, incorporating all of the pictures, movies and sounds into a single ProViewer. The ProViewer can be viewed on any other Macintosh without the use of another program. (However, QuickTime must be installed to run a ProViewer!)
The original project file, pictures, movies and sounds are not altered when you create a ProViewer.
The project file must be saved before you can use this command.
Choose Create ProViewer from the File menu. The ProViewer options dialog will appear. Select the options you want and press create. You will then get the standard save file dialog box. Choose the name and place to which the file should be saved and press save. That’s it. ProView will do the rest.
The ProViewer will look exactly like the project file. It will react like the project file when the command key is pressed. (See “Command Key” under “Special Key Functions”)
The file menu in the ProViewer contains only Close Window, Run Slide Show and Quit. The Page menu will not appear in the ProViewer, as the ProViewer is not user editable.
You may now copy and distribute your ProViewer pursuant to the licensing agreement. If you chose NOT to compile the pictures and movies into the ProViewer then you must be given out along with the ProViewer. However, unless these are very large files, it is much more convenient to allow the pictures and movies to be compiled into the ProViewer.
