Abstract
Displaying slide presentations in a user interface (UI) on a display screen is enhanced by providing multiple display modes in a slide presentation viewer. A text mode shows text information distilled from the slides. A preview mode shows thumbnail slide images rendered from the slides and a mixed mode shows text information and thumbnails together. The UI further provides a slide show to display the slide images in full screen and an interface (e.g. menu) for selecting among the modes and invoking the slide show. For wireless devices in particular, a network server may process slide presentation documents to generate the text information and slide images for communicating to the wireless devices having slide presentation viewers. The network server may be an attachment server providing services for email attachments and the slide presentation viewers may be attachment viewers.
