Abstract
A method, system, and program product for controlling the content displayed during a computer driven presentation of a presentation graphics application. Hidden object presentation properties are assigned to presentation graphics objects during creation of a presentation graphics file, the properties controlling the circumstances under which hidden objects are displayed during a computer driven presentation or screenshow. One type of hidden object presentation property indicates whether an object is viewable on an audience display and presenter display, or only a presenter display, during a multi-display screenshow. Another type of hidden object presentation property, such as hidden object value, determines the audience to which the object is displayed. Hidden object value properties may be hierarchical, individually selectable in any combination, or mutually exclusive. During screenshow setup, one or more display attributes are assigned to each logical display to be used in the screenshow, the display attributes determining the objects viewable thereon.
