Presentation Files

The presentation file is made up of your annotated pages. The Page Creation
and Capture tools are used to create the pages in the presentation file and
the Annotation Tools are used to create the annotations. The presentation
file is automatically saved as a .GWB file.
As soon as you select an Annotation Tool, an untitled presentation file is cre-
ated. Unless you give the file a name, it is automatically saved using today's
date as the filename. (Multiple files created today have 01, 02, 03, etc., ap-
pended to the date name.)
An existing presentation file can be opened, its pages can be sorted, annota-
tions can be added to the existing pages, and new pages can be added to
the file. Your presentation will determine how each presentation file evolves.
For example, you can prepare a presentation file with blank maps for a geog-
raphy lesson. Or, you can capture and annotate each of the monthly earn-
ings spreadsheets as you review the past fiscal year during a budget meeting.
Or, you can run a PowerPoint Slide Show in Office Mode (Windows only),
where annotations added to the slides are saved in the native file.
Building the Presentation File
You can build your presentation file during your presentation, or you can
pre-build it, including the screen captures, images, graphs and text pages you
want to present. However you choose to do it, the process is the same.
Use the Page Creation Tools to add a blank, gridded, calendar, gradient, or
background image page. By default, Interwrite Workspace is in Autosave
mode, so your annotated pages are automatically saved as you build your
presentation file.
By default, the Capture tool is set to always capture the screen. When you
are in Mouse Mode and you select an Annotation Tool, the Pen tool, for
example, the image of your desktop is captured as a page in the Lesson Win-
dow. You can change the Capture setting by selecting the Preferences option
from the Workspace Menu. Click on the New Page Setup tab to display the
Capture options.
Click the Save tool to save the file using the default filename (today's date),
or a name you type on the pop-up Onscreen Keyboard.
