Use Slides View

What do you want to do?

 

 

In Slides view, you can create and manage a set of slides for a map. Each slide can show a branch or sub-branch of the map, expanded or collapsed as you desire. This can help focus attention on a specific part of the map for presentation or printing.

When you start Slides View, the Slide pane appears at the left of your screen. This where you create and manage your slides. Branches with associated slides are marked with a special icon .

Once you have created slides, you can print them, display them in a slide show, or export them to Microsoft PowerPoint.

View, edit and adjust slides

When you click a slide thumbnail in the Slides pane it is displayed in the main window. The title bar at the top of the main window displays the name of the slide you reviewing, the Pin button to unpin the boundary and adjust the size and position of the slide content, and a button to return to viewing the whole map.

To return to the full map view, click Show Map at the top of the main window when viewing a slide.

Edit slide content

You can change how branches are displayed (expanded or collapsed) on the slide, and edit topics using the normal editing commands.

Change the size and position of slide content

When you are viewing a slide, the gray box indicates its boundary. The boundary is like a window through which you view the map content. Slide boundaries are fixed or "pinned" as indicated by the Pin button on the Slides view title bar. In "pinned" mode, the zoom and pan controls adjust your view of the slide. When boundaries are unpinned, you can zoom and pan to adjust the position and size of the content on each slide.

It's easiest to adjust slide content when you can see the entire slide. Before you begin, pan and  zoom the view to see all 4 boundaries of the slides you want to modify: While still in "pinned" mode , use the zoom control on the bottom toolbar, the zoom commands on the ribbon's View tab, or use zoom keyboard shortcuts (CTRL + = , CTRL + -), and use the scrollbars to pan the slide.

To unpin all slide boundaries, do one of the following:

On the Slides view top toolbar, click the Pin button Or Click the Presentation pull-down, and then click Unpin Page Boundaries.

The Pin button changes to  to indicate that the boundaries are now unpinned, and each boundary is highlighted in yellow in the main window.

In "unpinned" mode , you can drag the boundary to change its position, or drag its corners to resize it:
