Creating Overheads and 35mm Slides
If you want to create overheads and 35mm slides from your PowerPoint presentation, you can use a service bureau to produce these materials for you. Most service bureaus accept files submitted electronically.
PowerPoint includes a special feature that enables you to send your presentation files to the Genigraphics service bureau for producing 35mm slides, digital color overhead transparencies, large display prints, and posters. PowerPoint provides a wizard to help you make your request and transmit it.
To open the Genigraphics Wizard, choose File, Send To, Genigraphics. Figure 8.8 illustrates the first step of this wizard.
Caution
If the Genigraphics menu option doesn't display, reinstall PowerPoint specifying to run the Genigraphics Wizard from your computer.
