TurningPoint 5 for Mac 86
To poll in PowerPoint, a presentation with polling slides or a question list is required. To track results based on participants, a
participant list is also required. For more information on creating a PowerPoint Polling presentation, see
Content on page 68.
1 Plug in the receiver or establish a ResponseWare session.
NOTE
For information on how to establish a ResponseWare session, see Setting Up ResponseWare
on page 13.
2 Open TurningPoint and select a participant list and a question list, or a PowerPoint presentation, if applicable.
3 Click PowerPoint Polling.
The TurningPoint Dashboard closes and PowerPoint opens. If using a question list, TurningPoint will automatically
parse the content into polling slides. This may take a few moments if there are a large number of questions in the
question list.
4 Open the PowerPoint presentation that contains the question slides if a question list has not been chosen.
5 Verify the correct participant list is loaded.
6 Start the Slide Show from the TurningPoint toolbar. Starting the Slide Show from the PowerPoint toolbar will result in the
Slide Show running as non-interactive.
7 Click Start to open polling.
8 Click Stop to close polling.
Press the spacebar, enter/return key or down arrow to advance the slide. If using a mouse, a mouse click also
advances the slide. Alternatively, a PresenterCard may be used to advance slides and control polling. For more
information on PresenterCard, see
Pairing a PresenterCard on page 15.
9 Continue until the Slide Show is finished.
Next Steps
Now that the Slide Show is finished and the results have been gathered, the session data needs to be saved in order to
generate reports and manage results.
For more information on saving session files, see Saving a PowerPoint Polling Session on page 92.
