Add Text Messaging
Text Messaging allows a presenter to send messages to ResponseWare users to reinforce the content and
their participation.
A Text Message appears as a small object on the slide, but when it is shown, it automatically sends a
message that can be viewed on the ResponseWare applications.
More than one text message can be added to a slide. For example, add a “Respond Now” message to send
when polling opens and a “Time Is Up” message to send when polling closes.
To add a Text Message…
1 Navigate to the TurningPoint slide on which to add a Text Message.
2 Click Insert Object on the TurningPoint Toolbar and select Text Message.
3 Enter your message in the dialog box and click OK.
Tip
Since Text Messages are objects on the slide, use
PowerPoint’s animation features to time when they
should be displayed. Find more information in
PowerPoint’s online help.
