Claris Works Tips

Claris Works Slide Show

It can be very quick and easy to make a nice on-screen slide show using Claris Works 4.

1. Use a word-processing document as the base document type, so if you ever want to convert the slide show into web pages it will be easy.
2. Since our current projection technology is only 640x480 resolution, plan your slide show to look good at that level.
3. Be sure to preview your slide show on a monitor set to 640x480 resolution early and late in the design and assembly process.
4. We recommend using a Page Setup of letter size, at 100%, with the page in the landscape or horizontal orientation.
5. For best readability, don't use text smaller than 14 point, and make your titles something larger than 14 point.
6. To run the slide show, use the View menu Slide Show... command.
