View Settings and Navigation Tools
Presentation Editor offers several tools to help you view and navigate through your presentation: zoom, previous/next slide buttons, slide number indicator.
Adjust the View Settings
To adjust default view settings and set the most convenient mode to work with the presentation, click the View Settings icon at the upper left corner of the top toolbar and select which interface elements you want to be hidden or shown. You can select the following options from the View Settings drop-down list:
- View Compact Toolbar - enables a compact toolbar mode that provides access to basic features. To view the default toolbar click this option once again.
- Hide Title Bar - hides the topmost bar where the document name and the Go to Documents option are displayed. To show the hidden Title Bar click this option once again.
- Hide Status Bar - hides the bottommost bar where the Slide Number Indicator and Zoom buttons are situated. To show the hidden Status Bar click this option once again.
- Hide Rulers - hides rulers which are used to set up tab stops and paragraph indents within the text boxes. To show the hidden Rulers click this option once again.
The right sidebar is minimized by default. To expand it, select any object/slide and click the icon of the currently activated tab on the right (click the icon once again to minimize the right sidebar). The left sidebar width is adjusted by simple drag-and-drop: move the mouse cursor over the left sidebar border so that it turns into the bidirectional arrow and drag the border to the left to reduce the sidebar width or to the right to extend it.
Use the Navigation Tools
To navigate through your presentation, use the following tools:
The Zoom buttons are situated in the right lower corner and are used to zoom in and out the current presentation. To change the currently selected zoom value that is displayed in percent, click it and select one of the available zoom options from the list or use the Zoom In or Zoom Out buttons. Click the Fit Width icon to fit the slide width to the visible part of the working area. To fit the whole slide to the visible part of the working area, click the Fit Slide icon. Zoom settings are also available in the View Settings drop-down list that can be useful if you decide to hide the Status Bar.
Note: you can set a default zoom value. Click the File icon at the left sidebar, go to the Advanced Settings... section, choose the necessary Default Zoom Value from the list and click the Apply button.
The Previous Slide and Next Slide buttons are situated in the lower right corner under the scrollbar and used to go to the previous or next slide of the current presentation.
The Slide Number Indicator shows the current slide as a part of all the slides in the current presentation (slide 'n' of 'nn'). Click this caption to open the window where you can enter the slide number and quickly go to it. If you decide to hide the Status Bar, this tool will become inaccessible.
