INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Macromedia Breeze Presenter 
Macromedia Breeze Presenter is a software tool for creating e-learning content and high-quality 
multimedia presentations rapidly. Breeze Presenter uses Microsoft PowerPoint, a popular 
application that is part of the Microsoft Office suite, as a base. Finished presentations are in Flash 
format (SWF file) and are SCORM and AICC compliant. 
Breeze Presenter is an excellent complement to Macromedia Breeze. You can create content that 
includes interactive quizzing and surveys, audio, and a customizable viewer with Breeze Presenter. 
Breeze Presenter sends the PowerPoint (PPT) and Pocket PC (PPC) files, as well as presentation 
data, to the Breeze server. Then, you can simply log on to the Breeze server and, using Breeze 
Manager, complete the publishing process by selecting permission and folder options.
You can add straightforward or sophisticated quizzes to presentations. Breeze Presenter supports 
six different types of questions that can either be graded or used as surveys. You can use branching 
to guide users through different paths in the presentation based on their answers to quizzes.
Breeze Presenter provides a simple interface for using a microphone to add audio narration to 
your presentation. In addition, you can easily synchronize your PowerPoint animations with your 
audio narration.
The Breeze Presenter intuitive interface and its complete integration with PowerPoint eliminates 
the need for additional training or Flash programming. In minutes, you can transform static 
PowerPoint files into dynamic web experiences by adding audio, video, multimedia, interactive 
quizzes and surveys, and extensive branding. When you have created your content, simply publish 
it to a Breeze server.
After you have installed Breeze Presenter, you access the program from within PowerPoint.When 
you open PowerPoint, a new menu named “Breeze” appears in the menu bar. For more
