Q for Gary or other beta tester

Hi John,

The next and previous buttons that Gary pointed out in his Workbook could provide an excellent presentation format.

Use of placeholders to include Flash animations make it easy to include those within a presentation.

Creating a navbar, next/previous buttons, gif and flash animations, and text areas seem to be perfect for presentations. I can see it becoming more popular than PowerPoint.

Hi Bill:

... I can see it becoming more popular than PowerPoint.

Don't I wish.

Too bad it isn't scriptable in python or ruby so the techies here could add plugins for it.

John are you referring to scripting Web Designer or an exported Web Designer web presentation?

It is aways possible to use an external editer to include additional HTML/DHTML functionality.

Enable hooks to WD so a script could create functions to transform shapes or custom relationships between objects or pages.

For instance, if you expand a text frame, an adjacent object gets moved. Or if you altered one template color its complimentary color would automatically be assigned to another template color.

Once you have set up your page, and in the case of a slide show, every page is going to be the same size, you just copy and paste to all pages your next and previous buttons, which are now automatic, even if you reorder the pages, and add your content.
