Playing Your Presentation
Let's take a look at what we've created:
- Press the Play SlideShow button at the top of the Editor to launch the Player.
- Once the Player loads, you will see your first slide. Did it animate on? How cool was that? Click anywhere on the slide to advance to the next one.
- If you move your cursor to the bottom of the slide, the navigation bar will appear. You can click the Jump menu to skip to a particular slide
- The navigation buttons let you go (in order) 1. to the very first slide of your presentation, 2.to the previous slide, 3. to the next slide, and 4. to the very last slide of your presentation.
- Click this button to make the presentation fill the entire screen. This is a great feature if you're presenting to an audience: they won't even know you're using a Web browser. If you connect your computer to a projector, you can use SlideRocket to present to groups of people. You might not even need to bring your laptop if there's already a computer in the conference room that's connected to the Internet!
- Click the Exit Preview button at any time if you want to return to the Editor.
- Once you've seen all your slides, you'll come to the "End of presentation" screen. Just click the yellow circle to return to the Editor.
If you hold down your keyboard's SHIFT key when pressing the Play Slideshow button, the Player will start from the currently selected slide. This is useful when you are authoring a presentation and don't want to keep going through all of your slides just to get to the current one.
