Slide Controls

You can view a presentation's slides as images, thumbnails (small images), or text (slide lists, slide descriptions, chapters) in the slide area and as a full-screen slide show in a separate window. Chapters are available in the Player only if they have been added to a presentation.

Text slide lists, slide descriptions, and chapters can be read by text readers like GW Micro Window-Eyes®. Additionally, you can magnify portions of the slide when viewing the slides as images.
