16. creating a presentation screen is more or less the same for each template entering text including hyperlinks as directed and importing images or other media files to the indicated locations The challenging and exciting part of Pachyderm is not mastering techniques for building a screen from a template but rather learning how to compose the overall presentation Pachyderm is not a WYSIWYG program What you see is what you get the template screens used in authoring are essentially layout diagrams that help the user place text and other media in the appropriate place While they look significantly more like the finished product than a blueprint looks like a finished building they are a schematic that is not as visually appealing as the actual presentation will be The steps to authoring a presentation in Pachyderm are straightforward but authoring will go most smoothly if certain preliminary work is done Preparing the presentation ahead of time by assembling all materials and outlining each template needed is crucial Because Pachyderm consists of interlinked templates whose relations to each other are determined by the author the author needs a clear understanding of what each template will add to the presentation and how it will be related to the other templates For each screen the author will need to think about how it is connected to the other screens first in a series last in a series reached from many points or just one The m
