This slide show can be driven in the same way as Power Point. To advance to the next slide click anywhere on the page with the mouse, or press the space bar. You can move forwards or backwards through the slides with the Cursor left, Cursor right, Pg Up and Pg Dn keys. The font size is automatically adjusted to match the browser's window width, but you can also adjust it manually using the "S" key for smaller and the "B" key for bigger. You can also use the "<" and ">" keys. Before printing, use the "A" key to toggle between current slide and all slides. Use the "F" key to switch off/on the bottom status line. The "K" key toggles the use of mouse click to advance to the next slide. You can use "C" to show the table of contents and any other key to hide it. Use the "F11" key to toggle the browser's full screen mode. Note that not all keys are supported in all browsers, as browsers may reserve some keys for browser control and this varies from one browser to the next.
Firefox users may want the autohide extension to hide the toolbars when entering full screen with F11. Instead of autohide you can temporarily hide tabs by Tools | Options | Tabs | and uncheck "Always show Tab Bar". Then F11 will hide all browser boarders. Newer versions of Firefox have built-in support for SVG, but on older versions for Microsoft Widows, you should consider installing the Adobe SVG Viewer 6.0. (SVG is not used.)
If you would like to see how Slidy works, use View Source to view the XHTML markup, or see this longer explanation, which also explains additional features. Each slide is marked up as a div element with class="slide". CSS positioning and percentage widths on images can be used to ensure your image rich slides scale to match the window size. Content to be revealed incrementally can be marked up with class="incremental". The linked style sheet and scripts were developed as a Web-based alternative to proprietary presentation tools and have been tested on a variety of recent browsers. Integrated editing support is under development. Please send your comments to Dave Raggett <dsr@w3.org> (who is the slideshow software programmer.) .
These additional magenta Helps quoted and pasted below came from the Slide Show authors web page at: https://www.w3.org/Talks/Tools/ . (Struck out quoted items not applicable to Hisways Slide Shows.)The current recommendation (2005/5) is to use Dave Raggett's slideshow tool HTML Slidy, with its accompanying style sheet.
If you are a member of the W3C staff, you must add a W3C icon.Some reasons for doing it this way:
Only one file to edit and show - much less fuss than generating slides- Either page up/down or left/right arrow for moving between slides backward/forward
- Support for incrementally revealing slide content
- < and > (or - and + ) keys allow easy font scaling
- Good contrast between foreground and background, dark on light.
But ...
- Some browsers trap certain keystrokes, so that they are not available to the web page. This particularly applies to Safari and Konqueror, and to a lesser extent to Opera.
- The back and forward buttons on the browser don't work reliably due to problems with how browsers expose history to web applications.
- If the network is slow and you have a lot of graphics, there will be a wait until the first slide appears correctly formatted, be patient!

Printing Slides: In both FireFox (FF) and Internet Explorer (IE) the keystroke "A" will render the slide presentation in web page style with scrollbars. After that, just click the browser's "File" | "Print Preview" | to see all of the pages and then print the page(s) that you want.. To return to the slide presentation use keystroke "A" again.
Choose "portrait or "landscape" page layout to suit.
