Page 57 Impatica for PowerPoint User s Manual 3 Avoid using hyperlinks that jump ahead to the last slide particularly early in the presentation Because the translated file is streamed sequentially all of the intervening slides must be read before the target slide can be displayed If the hyperlink skips over several slides there could be a noticeable delay before the target slide can be displayed See also Internal and External Branching in this section 4 Make creative use of interactivity Interactivity can be used to stall the playback of the presentation while keeping the viewer engaged The pause in the presentation will allow the stream of information received to get ahead of the demand for data For example a presentation may begin with a slide that requires the user to click before advancing The slide may remind users to turn up their speakers or it may pose a question While the user is reading and responding to the slide information such as sounds graphics and text required for future slides is being collected When the user progresses to future slides the necessary data has likely already arrived therefore the probability that the user will have to wait is significantly reduced 10 2 Selecting Slide Size When selecting the size of your presentation slides keep in mind the target audience and the application of your presentation Large slides may not fit entirely within a user s web browsing window if they are viewin
