To be honest, I have never used the presentation facilities in Mathematica, but it seems that with Mathematica 6 it is very easy to create slide shows. Here are the basic steps to get started: 1. File -> New -> Slide Show 2. Edit the cells, create content 3. Format -> Screen Environment -> Slide Show 4. Press F12 to go to fullscreen. You are probably interested in how formatting is done, but I am not good with style sheets, so I cannot help you with them ... Global magnification can be set at the bottom of the notebook window (a little up-arrow next to "100%"). > Apparently all the presentations at the Mathematica conferences are > done in Mathematica.
