MAKE RUN-TIME SLIDE SHOW
========================

Make Run-time lets you copy a slide show along with the Corel
Presentations program files necessary to run the slide show
to one disk. You can then run the slide show on compatible
computers without having to install the complete Corel
Presentations program.

To create a run-time slide show,

1. Retrieve a slide show, then choose Make Run-time from the
   Slide menu.

2. Specify the location you want the files copied to, then
   choose OK.

   If the current version of the slide show has not been saved,
   you will be prompted to do so.

3. Choose Yes to create the quick file.

4. If you plan to use sound with your slide show, choose Yes to
   copy the sound drivers.

When you create a run-time slide show, Corel Presentations copies
the following files to the location you specified. These files
are necessary to view a run-time slide show:

PR{PR}.SET     Setup information, such as colors and graphics
               display driver
SHOW.EXE       Main run-time program file
SHOW.FIL       Main run-time overlays
SHOW.PRQ       The quick file created for your slide show
SHOW.SHW       The slide show file
*.VRS          Graphics driver files

In addition, if you choose to copy sound drivers, Corel
Presentations copies the sound driver files (.ARS, .COM) required
by your sound device.

If you want, you can rename SHOW.SHW; however, you must also
rename the SHOW.PRQ to the same name. For example, if you rename
SHOW.SHW to SALES.SHW, you must also rename SHOW.PRQ to
SALES.PRQ. Both files must keep their original file extensions
(.SHW, .PRQ).

To view a run-time slide show,

1. At the DOS prompt, enter the drive and directory where your
   slide show is located.

2. If your slide show is named SHOW.SHW (the name Corel
   Presentations assigned to it), type "show" and press Enter to
   begin the slide show.

   or

   If you renamed your slide show, type "show" and the new name
   of your slide show and press Enter (e.g., "show sales").

You can stop the slide show by pressing Esc or Exit.

There are a few important points to consider when making a
run-time slide show. The run-time slide show will be created
according to the graphics screen type and sound card type
specified in the Slide Show dialog box (choose File, Setup, Slide
Show). This show will only run correctly on a computer with the
same graphics screen type and sound card type. If you plan on
distributing your slide show to unknown computer configurations,
you should set the Graphics Screen Type to EGA 640x350 16 Colors. 
The slide show will then be able to run on any system with an EGA
monitor or better.

To run the slide show properly in VGA mode, you must select a
graphics driver that corresponds to your graphics card. If you
create a run-time slide show with your specific graphics driver
selected, you will only be able to run the slide show on
computers with a compatible graphics card.

To run a slide show with sound properly on another computer, a
sound card compatible with the one used when the show was created
must be installed on that computer. In addition, if you
specified the sound files to be "On Disk" in the Slide Sound
dialog box when you created the slide show, you will have to
manually copy the sound files (.MID or .WAV) to the location of
your run-time slide show.


KEYBOARD DEFINITION INFORMATION
===============================

Three predefined keyboards are installed with Corel
Presentations: ALTERNAT.PRK, MACROS.PRK, and SHORTCUT.PRK.

You can edit or map a predefined keyboard. You may want to copy
the keyboard first, so you can rename the file and make changes
to the copy instead of to the predefined keyboard. See Keyboard
Layout in the reference manual.

ALTRNAT Keyboard
----------------
The Alternate keyboard reassigns the following keys:

Key       New Assignment
---       --------------
F1        Cancel
F3        Help
Esc       Cancel

MACROS Keyboard
---------------
When you select the Macros keyboard, you can play the macros
listed below. Some of these macros are additional Corel
Presentations features. Some of the macros automate processes
already available in the program.

You cannot use a mouse when you play the macros. Use the
keyboard instead to select the options in the macro.

KEY       DESCRIPTION
---       -----------
Alt+B     Lets you create a flow chart symbol bar. It brings all
          the flow chart symbols into the main screen so you can
          copy and use them in your drawing.

Alt+C     Creates a calendar after you specify the year and month
          you want.

          If you want the calendar to appear in a specific font,
          just select that font before you play the macro.

Alt+F     Lets you quickly change fonts for the title, legend, or
          label of a chart.

Alt+G     Lets you easily add a file or slide show to a gallery.

          If you have created a figure, master file, or chart you
          want to add to a gallery so other people can use it,
          you can easily add the file using this macro. You can
          also add a slide show of figures or charts.

Alt+H     This macro creates the Sign Language symbols for the
          text you enter.

Alt+P     Lets you create the .PRQ files (quick files) for all
          galleries or for a selected gallery.

Alt+R     Lets you enter a distance to move the cursor relative
          to its current position. (This is different from Go To
          on the Edit menu, which lets you enter the exact
          location you want to move to).

Alt+T     Lets you create a freeform table in the main screen.
          It reads the numbers you enter as inches.

Macro Filenames
---------------
The following are the files that play the macros. If you want to
play the macros listed above, do not delete these files.
     ADDFIG.PRM
     ADDMASTR.PRM
     CALENDAR.PRM
     CHTFONT.PRM
     FLOWSYM.PRM
     GALLERY.PRM

The Shortcut keyboard provides shortcuts for features you might
use frequently.
