DV 101: A Hands-On Guide for Business, Government and Educators

We've covered a fair amount of Producer's capabilities, but there are a couple of additional functions you should know about. First, as a default, Microsoft displays a link to the Producer Web page on its Web site in all presentations. You can eliminate this by selecting Tools > Options and then uncheck the Display a Web Link on the Introduction Page checkbox.

Once you're in the Options window, click the Timeline tab and adjust default durations if desired. I found the defaults too long for my liking.

Finally, to get a good feel for the capabilities of Producer, check out the samples on Microsoft's Producer Web site here:
