Displaying Items

Contents

From within the presentation window, you can select items for presentation in the following ways:

•	Move between items in a linear sequence like a slide show.

•	Pick items from a list.

•	Type the item name, exhibit number, trial exhibit number, or Bates number. Using this method, you can type into a visible search box, or blind type the search. Either way, if the item that you type was not already included the presentation, it is added to the end of the presentation.

To display items in a sequence

•	In the far right side of the presentation toolbar, click .

The presentation advances to the next item.

Note that at the start of the presentation, until the forward button is clicked, the previous button is inactive. When the last item in the presentation is reached, the forward button becomes inactive.

By default, when the presentation window is set to a display mode of Side By Side, 2 Across, or 4 Quadrants, the next item and previous item buttons focus on the most recently opened item window. However, you can configure the buttons to operate on whichever item window you want.

PresentationItemDisplaySearchBoxError

To resolve this, here are some things to try:

•	Check the spelling of the item.

•	Check the search properties to determine which field the search box is set to accept. For example, the search will probably yield an error if the search box is set to accept the item name and you type a Bates number. To access search box options, see: Setting Presentation Options.
