Display and Communicate

Powerful Presentation Display

Create and format dynamic presentations, then collaborate with your audience to incorporate feedback on the fly. And with hyperlinks in presentations, you can quickly navigate to a different part of the presentation, an external website, or even open a different document.

Dynamic presentations use Live Objects technology to display external data in your presentation. Changes to the external data are automatically reflected in the Live Objects in your presentations. For a truly dynamic, flexible presentation, you can set up your presentation to display on a secondary monitor, leaving your main monitor free for making edits and changes to the presentation.
