Short description here
Choose the Prezi style (you
are able to change this at any
point in the process). These
are the only font/color
choices given.
Click create to begin
This is your new Prezi – click.
This screen any time you
open a previously created
or new Prezi. Click open
again to begin.
Watching this short video is
helpful.
Click here – so this does not
show every single time you
open the prezi.
After reading this message,
delete it. If you do not delete
it, it will be part of your prezi.
Prezi automatically saves
about every 5 minutes. The
last time saved will appear
here.
When you click on your text, frame, or
image, the blue striped circle pops up
(zebra tool). This allows you to make
many adjustments.
Outside circle = rotates
2nd circle = changes the size (bigger or smaller)
middle circle moves the object
Clicking this X will bring up the menu
you see on the next image.
To get back to the full zebra tool and out of frame, insert,
path, ect.- Click on the main circle (only a piece is actually
visible).
This will zoom your screen in and out. It is NOT
actually changing the size of your text, frames, and or
images. This helps you to see items that you want to
start out very small.
Put your cursor in an area of the screen that does not have
any text or images (it can be a small area). Hold down your
left mouse button and drag in the direction you need to go.
Double click on the text and your textbox will reappear. At
this point you may add or delete any text.
Left click to select a frame type then move your cursor to the position in
which you want to add the frame (keep in mind-you can always move it)
HOLD DOWN the left mouse button and drag to the size you want your
frame to be (again-you can adjust this as well).
I’m ready to set up my PATH.
Click on the 1-2 Add button. Now you will click
each heading, text, image, etc. in the order
that you want it to be presented. You will see
the numbers just as you do on this example.
OOPS!!! I messed up. Don’t fret – click delete all to start
over or drag the individual number to a blank area of the
screen and let go. It will disappear. You can also drag
numbers to other items, but it can get confusing. This is
where the screen zoom in and out comes in handy.
