Switch to slide sorter view to see the overall organization of your presentation. Compel displays miniatures of your slides, called thumbnails.
Slide sorter view works like a conventional light table for viewing and sorting photographic slides. You can check the sequence of the slides in your presentation and put them in a diferent order if you want.
Each menu in Compel contains a group of related commands you can use to work with files, edit text and objects, change views, and other such tasks. Some menu commands display submenus of additional commands related to a particular task..
The menu bar changes according to the view you
re in. Slide view is where you
ll do most of your work in Compel, so that
s where most of the menus are. And when you
re creating a chart, the menu bar offers commands for charting.
