Starting the conversion process

Once you have successfully installed PowerFlashPoint software, just open your PowerPoint. You should see the PowerFlashPoint toolbar on the top left portion of your PowerPoint application window.

In Microsoft PowerPoint 2007, the PowerFlashPoint toolbar will be in the Add-Ins tab of the ribbon.

In Microsoft PowerPoint 2002/2003 the PowerFlashPoint toolbar will appear on the top left corner of the PowerPoint menu bar.

Open one of your existing PowerPoint presentations. Or create a new PowerPoint presentation and save the same.

Click the PowerFlashPoint toolbar button. You will be presented with the PowerFlashPoint main interface dialog. You can use this dialog to convert your presentation to SWF movie or change the settings for the conversion process.

Hit the Convert button to start the conversion process.

If your presenation has any video or flash movie, PowerFlashPoint will not convert them. That is, the videos and flash movie will not work in the converted SWF presentation. Also all PowerPoint custom animation effects are not supported now. PowerFlahsPoint will use a default custom animation effect (not user selectable) for all those custom animation effects that are not currently supported by PowerFlashPoint. PowerFlashPoint will support the missing custom animation effects in its subsequent versions.

If you have not saved your current presentation before hitting the PowerFlashPoint toolbar, you will be informed to save the presentation by the Save Presentation dialog.

Click Yes to save the presentation. (Clicking No will abort the conversion process).

If the presentation has not saved at least once, you will be prompted to choose the location where the presentation is to be saved to by the Save As dialog. Choose the location and hit the Save button. (Cancel will abort the conversion process).

Now the conversion process will start and the progress will be indicated by two progress bars in the PowerFlashPoint main interface dialog.

The first progress bar indicates the slide by slide conversion progress. The second progress bar indicates the overall presentation conversion progress.
