Mobile Presentations can be created from Windows Applications which
have printer support.
Once the Presenter-to-Go PC creation software drivers are installed,
you will find that you now have a printer called "Presenter-to-Go"
as shown below.
Fig 5.4 Print window showing "Presenter-to-Go" Driver
If you print using the Presenter-to-Go Printer Driver, when you
press OK you will automatically:
- Convert the document into the mobile presentation format in
"LANDSCAPE" orientation. If the size of the document
exceeds a page, then the driver will simply save the balance of
the document as additional slides until all the material is presented.
- The Presenter-to-Go Creator dialog window will appear with the
name taken from the printing application in the document name
box. You can rename the mobile presentation document. If you try
to create another presentation with the same name that already
exists in the queue, you will have an option to overwrite or rename
it something different.
Note: Sometimes Windows defaults the Presenter-to-Go to the PORTRAIT
orientation. In that case, choose the "properties" of
the "Presenter-to-Go Printer" and change the orientation
to the LANDSCAPE mode. For PowerPoint, the default orientation is
"LANDSCAPE" and you may not need to change the settings.
You can verify how the presentation looks by "Viewing"
the mobile presentation document after creating it.

After the name is entered, and the Create button is selected OR
the new pages are Appended to another presentation, the familiar
"Presenter-to-Go Desktop" dialog box will appear. The
commands and features of this window are discussed in detail above.
After the presentation is Queued then, you can perform a Hot Sync
to get the presentation into the Visor handheld.
