Make Web Show
With this form (accessed from the File->Save As->Web Show menu) you can make a web show from an existing slide show. Using the existing collection of slides, SlideShow  will can generate two web pages, a start page and a web show page. The start page provides the starting point in the show, the first page from which to begin the show.The web show page contains the show engine and references to all the slides in the collection.  SlideShow does not generate the actual web pages for the show - it uses the existing files, images and web sites to display.  The same sound files included in the slide show can be played by the web show if the browser supports playing of wave files.

Running a show involves moving through the sites or files using the web show control page generated by SlideShow. 

To make a web show:

  • Create a slide show, edit and review it.
  • Select the options for the web show and run the web show audit.
  • Generate the web show from this form by pressing the Make Show button.
  • Test the web show using the Test button on this form.
  • Relocate the web show by copying the two HTML files where they will be used.
  • Copy any image or sound files referenced in the show to the correct location on the web server.
Hint: You can also use the new show wizard to guide you through creation of a web show.
