I have made a PowerPoint Presentation, whereby the content of the slide is
displayed at the top of the slide ( as normal). It works fine if the
recipient has PowerPoint. If it is shown with the integrated PowerPoint
Viewer 2007, the slide occupies the whole monitor and the upper part of the
slide, thus the explanation, is cut off and the content of the slide can only
be seen ( ?) when you right click the mouse. Why is there no integration of
the outline and the slide on the left side of the screen as with PowerPoint
itself?. Is there any way around so that the recipient can choose which slide
they want to see by just looking at a thumbnail?
Thanks in advance,
Peter

You'd have to build this yourself, perhaps by creating very low resolution,
small images of each of your slides and inserting them as a kind of outline on
the left. This wouldn't be very practical, of course, if there are many slides
in your presentations. There's no way to make them scroll is there is in PPT.

If you need to rely on the viewer, you may simply need to consider other methods
of navigation that work within the limited capabilities of the viewer.
