Exporting Xcelsius Dashboard to Power Point

[former_member213259]

Hello All,

Currently I am using Xcelsius 2008 SP5 software. I am exporting Xcelsius dashboard to power point and the visualizations looks very small. I read in other posts and enabled "Fit components to canvas" and it did not help me much. Please share any workarounds or settings. Appreciate your responses.

Thanks

Dont do any change to your dashboard

just export the dashboard to the power-point

after exporting the PPT then open that file.

after that change the height, width and top of shock wave flash.

then you can see the output properly

Hi,

Where are you trying to launch these Slides? If on big screen TV for Exec then Increase Size of PPT

But before as other advised Increase Canvas Size and fit Components then Lock all the Components that wont let move objects and alter size.

That should take care of that. When you export this to PPT if Size comes small drag SWF Shock wave file to increase size on PPT.

Hope this helps!

Hi Sowrabha,

You have to go to document properties change the canvas size. Make sure the division of height and width comes around 1.67, ideally the preset size 1024x768 is used, that fits for .ppt as well.

Let me know if you require more inputs on this.

Thanks,

Hi Sara,

Thanks for the input! I changed the canvas size to 1024*768. The issue I am facing here is not able to fit all the components in this canvas size   I even tried reducing the font size
but it looks very small. Any suggestions are appreciated.

You can make the canvas size bigger to fit your components, but remember to keep the aspect ratio the same as 1024*768 gives you. Remember that the swf will automatically scale to fit the components on the screen, so if it looks good on your screen it might look small when displayed in PowerPoint.

When you export the SWF to powerpoint the flash file is not covering the whole page. You can drag it to fit the whole page automatically.

However, you have to remember that when you look at the powerpoint it is landscape A4 page and your Dashboard model needs to be sized in a similar fashion, or else the components will autoscale to fit everything on that page. A bit of testing will give you the best size that fits for you.

Cheers,

Josh
