Controlling Item Presentation

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.
•Typing 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 in the presentation, it is added to the end of the presentation.

The presentation advances to the next item or returns to the previous item, depending on which button is selected. At the start of the presentation, the previous button is inactive. When the last item in the presentation is reached, the forward button becomes inactive.

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.
