Planning a presentation
No matter what kind of presentation you want to create, it is helpful to do some planning before you start. Consider first what you want the user to learn from your presentation. Defining this goal at the beginning lets you create a comprehensive plan for success. After you have defined the goal of the presentation, you can use an existing PowerPoint presentation and enhance it with the most effective Presenter options.
1. Plan your presentation.
Use storyboards, scripts, or whatever organizational materials are appropriate. Consider what elements you may want to include (see Elements of presentations.)
2. Start PowerPoint.
You can open an existing PowerPoint presentation or create a new presentation.
3. Include narration and other special elements.
In PowerPoint, from the Adobe Presenter menu, you can add audio narration, quizzes, presenter information, and other options to your presentation. You can include attachments such as web pages or documents and you can customize themes (the look and feel of the presentation viewer) for each presentation.
4. Preview your presentation.
You can view the presentation on your machine by publishing locally to test the timing and the features you have added.
5. Publish the presentation.
You can publish the presentation to Connect Enterprise Server. You can also burn the presentation to a CD or upload the presentation to the web using a third-party FTP software program.
