A small bit of advice on using the Slide Sow palette to convert a notebook into a slide show. This is that, when on converts a notebook to a slide show the original notebook is modified. If you want to retain the original notebook as well , you should make a backup copy of it first. I think that slide show conversion should actually be done "non- destructively." My recommendation to WRI is that this be modified in a future release. My suggestion is that converting to a slid show should create a new notebook and leave the original unchanged. The user could then save the slide show where ever she or he wishes. --David On Jul 14, 2:53 am, John Fultz <jfu... at wolfram.com> wrote: > On Fri, 13 Jul 2007 06:14:53 -0400 (EDT), congruentialumina... at yahoo.com wrote: > > Hello UG: > > > Is this documented somewhere?
