Adapting PowerPoint Content Checklist

ü	To Do
	Check size of template. Insert a blank slide and save the slide as a .GIF. If GIF is larger than 5K – 10K, reduce template size (simply background, reduce colors, …).
	Identify slides larger than 50K. Reduce size or set Client Side property once inserted into Agenda Builder. To identify large slides, save entire PowerPoint as .GIF. Go to Windows Explorer and sort .GIF files by size. You can then delete the .GIF images after checking their size.
	Check for use of PowerPoint title field. If using a text box instead of title field, move text to title field before inserting into Agenda Builder. The title field is used for the agenda title. Send the title to the back or make font color equal to background color if you do not want the title visible on slide.
	Show presentation in slide show view and check for animations and slide transitions. Your options are: n Do nothing if the animation is not critical to the learning. n Create an animated GIF if animation is critical. Replace the original slide with the animated GIF in the agenda. n Replace animated slide with several static slides. Use mark-up tools to enhance during the event. n Copy the slide to a separate PowerPoint file. Import this PowerPoint file and select the HTML option. Note: You will not be able to mark-up this slide, but the animations will be supported (see the documentation for a list of animation types not supported).
	Show presentation in slide show view and check for links. These are not converted by default. Your options are: n If linking to a document, AppShare to the document. Leader will need the document and application on his/her machine. You can also insert the document into Agenda Builder as an agenda item. When the leader moves to that item, participants will need the supporting application on their machines for the document to open n If linking to a URL, either use Web Safari or insert the URL into the agenda as a separate item, or n Copy the slide to a separate PowerPoint file. Import this PowerPoint file and select the HTML option. Note: You will not be able to mark-up this slide, but the links will be supported
	Show presentation in slide show view and check for embedded audio. Audio is not converted. Your options are: n Insert the audio / video into the agenda as a separate item n Create an HTML page with your slide contents and embed the audio in the HTML. Insert both HTML, any images, and audio into the agenda
	Show presentation in slide show view and check for embedded video. Video is not converted by default. Your options are: n Insert the video file into the agenda as a separate item n Copy the slide to a separate PowerPoint file. Import this PowerPoint file and select the HTML option. Note: You will not be able to mark-up this slide, but the video will be supported n Create an HTML page with your slide contents and embed the video in the HTML. Insert both HTML, any images, and video into the agenda
	Check quality of slides containing inserted .JPG images, gradients, and special fill effects. All slides are converted to .GIF images by default. Therefore slides with .JPG images may lose quality. Your options are: n Do nothing and accept the .GIF image with reduced quality n Save the PowerPoint slide as a .JPG and then insert the JPG file into the agenda to retain the quality. Delete the .GIF version of the slide from the Agenda Builder n Use solid colors instead of special effects and gradients n Copy the slide to a separate PowerPoint file. Import this PowerPoint file and select the JPEG option
