Slide Controls

You can view a presentation's slides as images, text descriptions, thumbnails (small images), or text slide lists in the slide area and as a full-screen slide show in a separate window. You can also view chapters in the slide area if they are available in the presentation. Slide descriptions, text slide lists, and chapters can be read by text readers like GW Micro Window-Eyes®.
