[. . . ] Please consult Going Deeper in the Advanced Features/Presenting section of the online help for more on how to navigate to and from deeper content. The TimeKeeperTM Ovation has the almost magical ability to eliminate one major source of presentationinduced stress: the worry that you're running dreadfully behind schedule or perhaps racing through your material far too fast. The TimeKeeper shows you at a glance how close you are to your desired pace. With this feedback, you can make little adjustments along the way so you don't end up frantically rushing through your last few slides. It's like a safety net that lets you stay relaxed, confident, and focused on other aspects of your presentation. 12 The TimeKeeper, which sits at the top of the Present control panel, has two bars. The top one represents the show's total length, which you set by clicking the TimeKeeper and typing the Target Show Duration in the edit field that opens. When you click Start, a clock icon appears and starts moving steadily to the right. The blocks that it's divided into represent all slides that are enabled. As you advance through the presentation, the current slide is highlighted and adorned with the icon of a person to show you which slide you're on. The relative width of each block represents the time budgeted for that slide. So, for instance, the block for a 4 minute slide will be twice as wide as that for a 2 minute slide. If you're right on schedule, you'll transition from one slide to the next just as the Progress Bar passes the line separating the two slides on the Current Position Bar. (Not necessary if you either assigned an Ovation template through PowerPoint or are content with the default theme. ) Present the show. Making it as easy as 1: That's right. You can reduce the three fundamental steps outlined here to just one by enabling the Start Presenting upon Loading Show option in the Application Settings Dialog (open with ALT+S). Then when you drag and load a PowerPoint file, all of the following steps will be carried out automatically without so much as a click from you. · If a PowerLook is not yet assigned, then the default Look will be applied. · If you are set up for dual display, the Present control panel will open. · The TimeKeeper will start running (if a Target Show Duration was previously set, and if the Walk-In slide is not enabled). 17 Launching Ovation and Loading a Presentation You can launch Ovation and load a PowerPoint show in any of the following four ways (the first three accomplish both steps with one action): · Drag and drop a PowerPoint file (. ppt) onto the Ovation icon on your desktop. · Right-click the show's filename and select Open with Ovation from the popup menu. · With the show open in PowerPoint, click the Go to Ovation button on the toolbar. If this toolbar is not displayed, right-click anywhere on the PowerPoint toolbars and select Ovation from the list in the popup menu. · Launch Ovation by double-clicking its icon on your desktop (or by selecting it from the Start Menu under Programs > Serious Magic Ovation). If this is the first time you've run Ovation, then it will prompt you to browse to a PowerPoint presentation and open it. [. . . ] Pay particular attention to settings involving multiple display devices. The precise organization of the Advanced Properties dialog and the names for various settings vary from one make of graphics card to another. In general, modes with words like "Twin" and "Clone" are not what you want with Ovation. With nVIDIA® cards, the Dual view setting is a good choice. 30 Setting the Full Screen Output and Ovations Interface to Appear on Monitor 1 or Monitor 2 When you're operating with two monitors (or a monitor and a projector), Ovation's interface is on Monitor 1 by default while the presentation appears full-screen on Monitor 2.
