INSTANT Case Presentation!!

One of the electronic tools attorneys seem to have no problem embracing in a trial setting are PowerPoint presentations. A tool like Trial Director seems to be so scary. But scary no more! A tool like Presentation Scripts allows for PowerPoint-like functionality in the court room, only with all Trial Director's bells and whistles! This function allows you to organize your exhibits in the order you wish to present them, save them, then display them one-by-one in the courtroom with a single-click of the space bar! Here's how you do it:

Create a workbook and populate it with the exhibits you wish to present, then organize them in the order you want to present them in. Right-click on the workbook and find Send Workbook Contents to Presentation Script. You only have two options: 1) Give it a name and/or 2) have each slide advance automatically every [x] amount of seconds. Click OK. Remember what you called it, as there is no indication anywhere that you just did this. Go to presentation mode. Type in the name of your presentation script (just like you would any exhibit) and hit enter. Voila! Your first exhibit is displayed, and advances every time you hit the space bar (except where you've entered a number of seconds for an automatic slide advance). Note: This functionality works in both 4.x and 5.x versions. In 4.x, you work with Folders rather than Workbooks, but the process is the same.
