Navigator
The Navigator (Figure 7) displays all objects
contained in a document. It provides another
convenient way to move around a document
and find items in it. The Navigator button is
located on the Standard toolbar. You can also
display the Navigator by choosing Edit >
Navigator on the menu bar or pressing
Ctrl+Shift+F5
.
The Navigator is more useful if you give your
objects (pictures, spreadsheets, and so on)
meaningful names, instead of leaving them as
the default “Object 1” and “Picture 1” shown
in Figure 7.
Creating a new presentation
This section shows you how to set up a new presentation using the
Presentation Wizard.
Planning the presentation
The first thing to do is decide what you are going to do with the
presentation. For example, putting a group of digital photos together in
a presentation requires very little planning. However, using a
presentation to increase the knowledge of others about your topic
requires much more planning.
You need to ask and answer many questions before you begin creating
a presentation. If you are not acquainted with creating presentations,
the answers will be more general. Those who have created a variety of
presentations in the past will want to have more specific answers.
Who is to see the presentation? How will it be used? What is the
subject matter? What should be in its outline? How detailed should the
outline be? Will an audio file be played? Is animation desirable? How
should the transition between slides be handled? These are some of the
many questions that should be asked, answered, and written down
before creating the presentation.
Again, it is not always necessary at this point to have specific answers
to every question. Making an outline is extremely important. You may
already know exactly what some of the slides will contain. You may
only have a general idea of what you want on some of the slides. That
