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. |
