Rollover Slidelets

Rollover Slidelets are basically mini-slides within a slide. Similar to Rollover Captions and Images, Slidelets only appear when the user moves the mouse over a specified area on the slide. Unlike Rollover Captions (which can only contain text) and Rollover Images (which can only contain images), Slidelets can contain images, text, audio, and video. In addition, you can attach navigation controls to a Slidelet.

Student Activity: Insert a Rollover Slidelet

1.	The ZoomMe project should still be open.
2.	Go to Slide 4.
3.	Delete the Highlight Box on the slide (the Highlight Box is on the image of the QuarkXPress toolbar).
4.	Insert a Slidelet. choose Insert > Standard Objects > Rollover Slidelet The New Slidelet dialog box appears. click OK to accept the initial defaults Two things appear on the slide: the Rollover Slidelet and the Slidelet. While the two objects look similar, the Rollover Slidelet (which is the only one of the objects containing text) will serve as the hot spot. The Slidelet is what will appear should the user move the mouse over the Rollover Slidelet. Although the Rollover Slidelet contains the words “Rollover Slidelet,” that identifier will go away should you make the Rollover Slidelet small. In that case, use your mouse to point at either object and you will see a tooltip that will help you identify which object is which.
