Why use Prosper?
LIGO
LIGO
It’s free.
It is easy to use if you already know/use LaTeX
Many things are possible
Why not to use Prosper...
(insert witty Microsoft remark here...)
You don’t know LaTeX and you need slides fast.
WYSIWYG is important to you.
Embedded movies are important to you.

Fun Features

A small clipping effect (stolen from the Prosper Tour) Any
practical use for this?
McNabb
Ce n’était pas une petite gare de
province, mais une porte dérobée.
Elle donnait en apparence sur la campagne. Sous l’œil d’un contrôleur
paisible on gagnait une route blanche
sans mystère, un ruisseau, des églantines. Le chef de gare soignait des
roses, l’homme d’équipe feignait de
pousser un chariot vide. Sous ces
déguisements, veillaient trois gardiens d’un monde secret.

How to use Prosper
LIGO
LIGO
Adding links:
use hyperlinks:
\hyperlink{link name} and \hypertarget{link name}
to move around
if trouble go to full screen mode or single page
mode
Playing Movies with
\href{run:movie.mpg}{Start Movie}
Start Movie, “Why Sumo is Better Than Karate”
depends on local setup: in Linux must modify
.mailcap file
in this case added
video/mpeg; plaympeg ’%s’
must have copy of movie accesible
