Verifying that you can use the Breeze Presentation platform
To verify that you can use the Breeze Presentation platform, send a PowerPoint presentation to
the Breeze Presentation platform for compilation into a Breeze Flash presentation and then
view it.
Before you can send a PowerPoint presentation to the Breeze Presentation platform, you
must install the Breeze plug-in for Microsoft PowerPoint on a computer that meets the
following requirements:
• PowerPoint is already installed on the computer.
• The Breeze Presentation platform is not currently installed on the computer and is not going
to be installed later, as long as the plug-in is in use.
To create a Breeze presentation and view it:
1 Go to the URL that you received in the new-user notification that was described in the
preceding section (http://ADMIN_HOST/common/support/course/startmain.htm).
The URL takes you to a page with the heading “Welcome to Macromedia Breeze” and a link
for downloading the Breeze plug-in for PowerPoint.
2 Click the download link.
A login window for the download appears.
3 Log in with the e-mail address and password of the user you created in step 2 of “Verifying that
you can use the Breeze Manager and send e-mail notifications” on page 30.
The Macromedia Breeze Plug-in for PowerPoint page appears and gives instructions for
installing the plug-in.
4 Follow the instructions for installing the plug-in.
5 If you do not have a PowerPoint presentation that you can send to the Breeze Presentation
platform for compilation into a Breeze Flash presentation, create a presentation of one or
two slides.
6 Open the Breeze Publish Wizard by selecting Publish from the Breeze menu in PowerPoint.
The Publish Wizard login window appears.
7 Log in with the e-mail address and password you used in step 3, and follow the steps in the
Publish Wizard.
When you complete the steps in the Publish Wizard, your PowerPoint presentation is uploaded
to the Breeze Presentation platform and compiled into a Breeze Flash presentation. When the
compilation is complete, the Presentation platform sends you an e-mail notification with a link
to the presentation.
8 Click the link in the e-mail notification to view the presentation in your browser.
