Use Slides View

In Slides view, you can create and manage a set of slides for a map. Each slide shows a branch of the map. 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 slide_branch_icon.png.

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

A topic can appear on multiple slides, either alone, or on a sub-branch on another slide.
