- Download the Windows software or the Mac software
- Once downloaded, double-click on the file "setupppt.exe" (Windows) or "impatica-ppt.dmg" (Mac)
- Follow the instructions on the Installation Wizard
- Launch Impatica for PowerPoint
- Click on the "Registration Code..." button
- Enter your license details exactly as they were provided to you, including spaces, punctuation and case sensitivity. For example, if the registration information states the name field as:
Name: User1
Enter "User1" for the name, not "user 1", "user1" or "Joe Smith". The same applies to the Organization and Registration Code fields.
- Place your PowerPoint file in the software one of two ways:
- Drag and drop your PowerPoint file into the "Source PowerPoint Files" area of the software, OR
- Click the "Browse" button and select your file.
- Slide Show Tab
- If desired, select the Include playback controls checkbox — this will allow your audience to control playback of your impaticized presentation
- Save Location setting: Your converted presentation will be saved in the same folder where your original PowerPoint presentation is located. If desired, you can change this by using the "Browse" button.
- Media Tab
- Ensure the Animation Playback setting is set to match your version of Microsoft PowerPoint. Click the Save as Default button to save this setting for all future conversions.
- All other out-of-the-box settings are most likely adequate.
