Note: The page transitions will only work for a website if it's set in the Export tab of Web
Properties. Presentation documents are set with transitions by default so there is no
need to visit this option in the WEBSITE TAB of the dialog.

Advanced presentation information

Pop-up layers and presentation layers
Presentation layers are just ordinary layers with the presentation option selected in the
Layer properties dialog. Once this option is turned on for a layer, any name the layer had
is overridden with "Presentation step (N)" in the PAGE & LAYER GALLERY, where (N) is the
step number.

You can mix popup layers and presentation layers in a presentation document, but of
course only the presentation layers will be revealed as the visitor steps through the
presentation by pressing the arrow keys.

Having both layers and presentation steps is useful if you want to keep features such as
popup layers in your presentation. You can change layers into steps (and turn steps back
into layers) by toggling the PRESENTATION LAYER checkbox in the Layer Properties (on
page 449) dialog's Web Transition tab.

When you create a new step, this checkbox is automatically selected.
