- Claris Home Page Presentation Template 11/22/96
-
- This folder contains example files for a presentation
- template. To see this template working, open the file
- "Intro.htm" in your browser. The arrows at the bottom
- of the screen are navigation buttons that control the
- presentation flow. Press the right arrow to advance
- to the next slide, the left arrow to return to the
- previous slide, and the middle square to jump to the
- first slide in the template.
-
- Open one of the slides in Claris Home Page, and you
- will see that it is made up of a table with two cells.
- The top cell contains the presentation content. The
- bottom cell contains the navigation buttons. The
- navigation buttons are a client-side image map.

- TIPS
- ------------------------------------------------------
- 1) Additional slides can be added by copying one of
- the template slides. You will need to reset the links
- in the navigation button client-side image map of the
- new slide, the slide immediately before the new slide,
- and the slide immediately after the new slide to make
- the presentation work properly.
-
- 2) All images for the presentation template are
- contained in the Images folder. It is good practice
- to do this, especially if you plan to upload your
- files to a server.
-
- 3) A simple color background is used for the slides.
- This was done for performance reasons, since
- background images (such as textures) take longer to
- download. If you want, you can easily add a
- background image (choose Document Options from the
- Edit menu in Claris Home Page).
-
- 4) When giving your presentation, it is a good idea
- turn off your browser toolbars (this can usually be
- done in the Options menu of your browser's menu bar),
- and maximize your browser window to the size of the
- screen.
-
- 5) If you get into a situation where you have to
- scroll down to get to your navigation buttons, it is
- because you have tried to put too much information in
- your slide. Try splitting the slide into two or more
- separate slides. You can also try reducing the font
- size of the text in your slide to make it fit in a
- smaller space.
