  About ASAP WebShow

With ASAP WebShow and Netscape Navigator version 2.0, you can view an ASAP WordPower presentation embedded in a World Wide Web page.

You might also be able to save and print the ASAP WordPower presentation. If you have a version of ASAP WordPower (version 1.02 or higher) on your computer, you might be able to edit the presentation.

The Web page author controls whether you can save, print, and edit a presentation you're viewing in ASAP WebShow and how the presentation initially appears onscreen. For example, the presentation might appear in the Web page in a window or full-screen. The presentation might automatically move from slide to slide. If it does, you can take control and navigate through the presentation manually. To help you navigate, there might be a navigation bar or you can use keys and a mouse.

An ASAP WordPower presentation embedded in a Web page can include sound.
