Integrator for PowerPoint

Well, I disagree with Verrelli. Try what he says. See what you get. With Lectora 2006 and PowerPoint 2003, I can set the font size to 10 in both and it comes over as 10 point thru the integrator OR via copy paste. Now where the rub is when your Lectora title page size is smaller than 1024. Then, the integrator shrinks everything down. Here is the relatively simple workaround that I use. Convert to a full size 1024 screen. Then copy and paste the pages into my regular title. Works perfect. As to image names, I used to worry about those a lot when I started. Not any more. I do name the images that I use over and over so I can find them. But the ones that appear on just one or two pages, I don't worry about. When the pages follow each other, I copy and paste in to the next page so the HTML will not have to load the image twice but I don't get anal about it.Images: Bitmaps are fine for one or two images. Just know they can be huge. One for an entire page may be several meg vs 50K for a gif! For pictures, I copy and paste as jpgs or gifs depending on the number of colors. I have many screen shots with just 5 colors and a full screen goes over just fine as a .gif and takes only 20-30k. Now, drawings are a bit more difficult. If they are all rectangular, no curved or angular lines (arrows, triangles), I copy and paste as a .gif. Looks great if you haven't used some kind of gradient. If my drawings have rounded edges or shading (gradients), I copy and paste into Fireworks. Make sure I have index transparency turned on and then save as a .gif. Fireworks does a nice job of dithering the edges so they look smoother. My client is happy with the result. Of course, Flash produces nice vector graphics but that is another whole learning curve I don't have time for right now.Edited By: bpitman on 2006-11-14 5:51:4
