Publish enables the presenter to present the following files to conference participants:
Microsoft® PowerPoint®
Microsoft Word
Microsoft Excel®
Adobe® Acrobat PDF documents
Publishing is an efficient way to present documents and presentation files because participants can view the files without having to download them. You can publish files up to 10 files before you start a conference or while the conference is in session. During the conference, you select files to present from your list of published files.
Publishing a file
- Click Publish
from the toolbar. The Publish a File window opens.
- To add a file to the list, click the Browse button, locate the folder containing the file, select the file, and then click Open.
You can also enter the complete path to the file.
- Click the Publish File button.
Note that uploading a file can take several minutes, depending on the file size and the speed of your Internet connection.
The published file appears in your published file list and is presented in the conference window.
- To publish additional files, repeat this procedure.
Clearing a presentation
- Select Stop current presentation from the pull-down menu on the Publish icon.
The presentation is cleared from the conference window. The file remains in your published file list for presentation at another time.
Notes
- The password protection feature for documents is not supported. If you attempt to publish a password-protected document, you will receive a failure notice. To resolve this problem, open your file, save the file without a password, and then try publishing it again.
- Microsoft Excel documents containing macros or scenarios are not supported.
- To share other file types or to modify file content during the conference, use the Application Sharing tool.
