A Microsoft PowerPoint Slide Show can be easily turned into a PRS
Lesson. When InterWrite PRS is installed on your Windows computer, the
PRS PowerPoint Add-in automatically creates a PRS Toolbar in PowerPoint
that provides the functionality to turn any PowerPoint slide into a PRS
Lesson Question.
On the Mac, the PRS PowerPoint Add-in must be
installed manually. The instructions for installing the PRS
PowerPoint Add-in on the Mac can be found at the end
of this chapter. Once installed, the PRS PowerPoint Add-
in works the same on both Windows and the Mac.
In an IR environment, when a PowerPoint Slide Show with PRS Question
Slides is run, PRS views this as a PRS Session and a New Session dialog
displays, allowing you to configure the Session and indicate whether you
want to display a Response Grid or Attendee List in the Response Area
when a PRS Question Slide is encountered.
In an environment, an RF Class is started and the students join the
Class before the PRS PowerPoint Slide Show is started. When the PRS
PowerPoint Slide Show is begun, a New Session dialog is displayed. It is
not necessary to display either the Response Grid or Attendee List in RF.
At the end of the PRS PowerPoint Session, Responses are recorded in a
standard PRS Session file. PowerPoint-based Sessions are displayed in the
Sessions List Window as a PowerPoint Lesson. You can then mark it as
you would any other Session.
