IBM Lotus Symphony


Recording a screen show

You can rehearse the timing of your presentation to include automatic slide changes.

After you prepare the presentation, you start the rehearsal and tell your imaginary audience what you want to tell for the first slide, then advance to the next slide and so on. Lotus Symphony records the display time for each page, so that the next time you play the show with automatic slide changes, the timing is as you rehearsed it.
To rehearse and then record a screen show, follow these steps.
  1. Open the presentation and click Slide Sorter View to the right of the horizontal scroll bar.
  2. Click the Rehearse Timing icon Rehearse on the toolbar. You see the first slide and a timer in the top corner.
  3. Begin your rehearsal. When it's time to advance to the next page, click the timer. Continue for all of the pages in your presentation.
  4. Lotus Symphony has recorded the display time for each page. Save your presentation.
  5. Press F5 to begin the screen show.
