Creating Slides
Save the Presentation Slides
Since TurningPoint slides are native PowerPoint slides, they are saved as part of the presentation file
(.pptx). This file can be shared with other TurningPoint and PowerPoint users.
To save the presentation...
1 Click the Office Button and select Save As from the PowerPoint menu.
2 Select a location to save the file and type a filename for the file in the space provided.
Keep the .pptx extension in the filename to ensure that PowerPoint opens the presentation file.
3 Click Save.
TurningPoint saves all of the presentation-level settings defined in the Settings menu with the
interactive presentation. When the presentation is opened on a different computer, the saved
presentation settings are used instead of the computer’s default settings. This function preserves the
custom settings so they do not have to be reapplied every time the presentation is opened on a
different computer with TurningPoint installed. Find more information on settings in Chapter 4:
Response Device and Settings Management.
Note
The presentation can safely be opened on
computers without TurningPoint installed. Do not
edit the TurningPoint slides on a computer
without TurningPoint installed. Otherwise, the
slides may not function properly the next time the
interactive presentation is run.
Note
Restore the computer’s settings when using any
presentation. In the Settings menu, select
Presentation in the left pane. A Restore default
presentation settings button displays in the bar
below the settings options. Select this button, and
a dialog box opens with this statement: “This will
restore the presentation settings back to the
default installation state.” Select Yes to restore the
default settings.
