SHOW MAGICIAN
In our last column, we mentioned an upcoming upgrade of Slide Show Magician.
This excellent program, which lets you make slide-show presentations of
MacPaint documents, has been made even better.
Version -1.3 can use a RAM disk or a hard disk. Functions that previously
were available only on the Edit master screen, such as Copy and Paste, and
Change Frame, cart now be used on any of the master screens. A significant
enhancement is the addition of GoTo buttons. Place one or more of' these buttons
on any screen, and when you dick on it with the mouse, you jump to another
screen or even to another slide show - perfect for training presentations,
quizzes, and other interactive uses. You can now add extra fonts with the
standard Font
Mover program
from Apple, and the program has additional typestyles and sizes. The Special
Effects screen has a new option called Art Modes
With Slide Show
Magician 1.3, you can create dynamic
presentations.
that permits you to copy one picture onto another in four different ways.
Talking Slide Shows
If we haven't whetted your appetite yet, consider that the new Slide Show
Magician has sound capabilities. With an additional sound program disk available
from Slide Show
Magician's maker, Magnum Software, your slide shows can use Apple Computer's Macintalk. You can also incorporate synchronized sound from a tape recorder. Using a tape-recorder sync cable, your' Mac can control the tape recorder, or the tape recorder can control your Mac. A third option is digitized sound. It lets you use voices, music, or sound effects and transfer them, via a special adapter cable, from your tape recorder to a Mac port. The sounds become part of your slide-show frames. You can order all the cables from Magnum.
The program has other enhancements too, more than we can mention here. With Slide Show Magician 1.3, you can create dynamic professional presentations. Check it out!
