IBM Lotus Symphony


Defining screen show settings

You can define settings for your screen show, including which slide to start from, the way the slide advance, the type of presentation, and mouse pointer options.

To define screen show settings, perform the following steps:
  1. Select Presentation > Screen Show Settings. The Screen Show Settings window displays.
  2. Click the Screen Show tab.
  3. In the Range field, specify which pages to include in the screen show.
  4. In the Type field, select the screen show type that you want:
    • Default – A full slide is shown.
    • Window – The screen show runs in the IBM® Lotus® Symphony™ program window.
    • Auto – Select Auto to set a screen show to automatically repeat. Specify the amount of time to pause before starting the show again, and then the screen show restarts after the pause interval that you specify. A pause slide is displayed between the final slide and the start slide. Press the Esc key to stop the show.
  5. In the Options field, specify other settings that you want for the screen show:
    • Override automatic transition settings – Slides never change automatically and the transition settings do not apply.
    • Navigator visible – Displays the navigator during the screen show.
    • Animations allowed – Runs animations during the screen show. When this option is not selected, only the first frame of an animation is displayed.
    • Presentation always on top – The Lotus Symphony window remains on top during the presentation. No other program displays its window in front of your presentation.
  6. In the Mouse Pointer Options field, specify the settings that you want.
    • Mouse pointer auto – This setting is the default setting. The mouse pointer automatically stops displaying after being stationary for five seconds. The pointer displays immediately when it is moved.
    • Mouse pointer visible – Shows the mouse pointer during a screen show.
    • Mouse pointer as pen – Changes the mouse pointer to a pen that you can use to draw on pages during the presentation.
  7. In the Multiple displays field, specify the display settings for screen show mode. By default the primary display is used for screen show mode. If the current desktop is displayed on more than one display, you can select which display to use for screen show mode. If the current desktop spans only one display, or if the multi display feature is not supported on the current system, you cannot select another display.
  8. Click the Action Shortcuts tab to define the keyboard shortcuts for the navigation and effect actions.
  9. Click OK.
