INTRODUCTION
Using the Breeze Publish Wizard
Macromedia Breeze is a web platform that provides a single solution for delivering rapid training
and communication across an organization. It consists of three components: the Macromedia
Breeze Presentation platform, the Breeze Training Module, and the Breeze Live Module.
The Macromedia Breeze Presentation platform provides the base for you to create and deploy
multimedia content. It has been designed to work with the Breeze Training Module and the
Breeze Live Module.
The Breeze Training Module lets you create courses, enroll students, and track and monitor
student and course results. This module can be integrated with your Learning Management
System (LMS).
The Breeze Live Module lets you host online real-time meetings, in which you can show
multimedia presentations, screen-share, chat, and broadcast live audio and video.
The Breeze Presentation platform lets you create, deploy, and view multimedia presentation and
learning materials through a web browser. These presentation and learning materials can include
the following:
Breeze presentations Multimedia presentations containing slides, streaming audio,
synchronized animation, and navigation controls.
Macromedia Flash presentations (SWF files)
Images (JPG files)
Flash videos (FLV files)
This guide details step-by-step procedures for using the Macromedia Breeze Publish Wizard to
publish Breeze presentations. The Breeze Publish Wizard is a web application that is part of the
Breeze Presentation platform. You use it in conjunction with the Macromedia Breeze Plug-in for
Microsoft PowerPoint to publish your PowerPoint presentation to your Breeze server for
conversion into a dynamic, high-quality web presentation.
Overview of creating a Breeze presentation

CHAPTER 1
Publishing a New Breeze Presentation
After adding audio and synchronized animations to your PowerPoint presentation, you are ready
to publish the presentation to your Macromedia Breeze server for conversion into a multimedia
web presentation.
The steps for publishing a new presentation are as follows:
“Step 1: Accessing the Breeze Publish Wizard” on page 10 Access the Breeze Publish Wizard in
PowerPoint. Open the PowerPoint presentation you want to publish (if the file includes unsaved
changes, you must first save the file), and select Breeze > Publish from the PowerPoint menu. Log
in to Breeze using your user name and password.
“Step 2: Selecting a presentation location” on page 10 Select the folder in the Publish Wizard
on the Breeze server where you want to publish your presentation. The default publish location is
the My Contents folder, your personal folder in the Publish Wizard. You can publish to this
default location or navigate to any other folder for which you have publish permissions.
“Step 3: Setting presentation information” on page 12 Enter information about the
presentation (title and summary) and the speaker (name, title, and company).
“Step 4: Selecting presentation features” on page 13 Select whether to include a presentation
outline, a summary page, or a speaker photo in your presentation. You also set slide timings,
selecting whether to pause playback between slides and animations, and how long to play slides
with no audio.
“Step 6: Setting presentation permissions” on page 17 Set the appropriate permissions for the
presentation. This step applies only to users who have manage permissions for the destination
folder of the presentation. You can make a presentation public so that anyone can view it over the
web, or you can make it private, selecting which Breeze users have permission to view it and
requiring them to log in with a Breeze user name and password.
“Step 7: Uploading a presentation” on page 23 Upload the presentation and audio file to the
Breeze server. After Breeze creates your multimedia web presentation, you receive an e-mail
notification containing the URL for the website where you can view the presentation.

Breeze presentation. These can include any of the following:
•“Presentation outline” on page 14
•“Presentation summary page” on page 14
•“Speaker photo” on page 14
•“Settings for slide timings” on page 15
To select presentation features:
1. On the Select Features page, select each feature that you want to add (outline, summary, photo,
or slide timings).
Note: The presentation summary page and speaker photo options are available only if you select
Outline.
2. Click the Next button.

14 Chapter 1: Publishing a New Breeze Presentation
If you select the options to include an outline and a speaker photo, the Upload Photo page
appears (see “Step 5: Selecting a speaker photo (optional)” on page 15).
If you do not select the option to include a photo and you have manage permissions for the
folder you are publishing to, the Set Permissions page appears (see “Step 6: Setting presentation
permissions” on page 17).
Otherwise, the presentation begins uploading (see “Step 7: Uploading a presentation”
on page 23).
Presentation outline
A presentation outline contains the presentation title, speaker information, and the name of each
slide in the presentation. The outline is displayed on the left of the Breeze presentation. Your
viewers can click individual slide titles to navigate to specific slides.
If you include a presentation outline, you can also add a presentation summary page and a
speaker photo to the presentation.
To add a presentation outline:
•On the Select Features page, select Outline.
Presentation summary page
A presentation summary page is an additional slide that you can add to the Breeze presentation to
give the viewer information about the presentation and the speaker. It becomes the first slide in
the Breeze presentation and is included in the list of presentation outline slide titles.
A presentation summary page contains the following information:
•Presentation title
•Presentation summary
•Presentation duration (number of slides and total presentation length)
•Speaker’s name, title, and company
To add a presentation summary page:
•On the Select Features page, select the Outline and Include Summary Page.
Speaker photo
You can add a small photo of the speaker. This photo appears with the speaker information in the
presentation outline.
To add a speaker photo:
1. Select the Outline and Include speaker photo options when selecting presentation features.
2. Click next and enter the complete file path and name of the photo file (see “Step 5: Selecting a
speaker photo (optional)” on page 15).

Step 5: Selecting a speaker photo (optional) 15
Settings for slide timings
The Select Features page includes three settings for slide timings:
Pause after each slide If this option is selected, presentation playback is not continuous. Every
new slide starts in a paused mode, and the viewer must click the Play button in the presentation
control bar to play it. If this option is not selected, each slide begins playback at the moment it is
displayed.
Pause after each animation If this option is selected, presentation playback pauses after each
PowerPoint animation in a slide is played. The viewer must click the Play button to play each
successive animation in the presentation. If this option is not selected, slide playback moves
continuously from one animation to another without the user having to click the Play button
in between.
Time to wait for slides with no audio Slides that have no audio still need a playback length so
that they can be displayed for a certain period of time during continuous presentation playback.
The default time for displaying a slide with no audio is 5 seconds before moving on to the next
slide. A user can pause a slide at any time during playback for longer viewing.
To set slide timings, select the appropriate timing checkboxes and set the desired playback time
for slides with no audio in “Step 4: Selecting presentation features” on page 13.
Audio Quality The Audio Quality setting controls the quality of audio playback in the
converted presentation. By default, the Breeze Publish Wizard converts audio using the medium-
quality setting of 24 kilobits per second, which is sufficient for users who access the presentation
through a modem.
If the Audio Quality drop-down list is enabled, you can select the following options in addition to
24 kilobits per second:
•16 kilobits per second, which is an ideal setting for large presentations, for users in rural
locations with lower-quality modem connections, or for customers who want to save on
bandwidth costs in exchange for lower quality.
•64 kilobits per second, which is an ideal setting for users on a local area network (LAN) who
want professional-quality audio. At this bit rate, the final audio quality depends on the quality
of the audio equipment. Modem users will not experience the higher audio quality.
If the Audio Quality drop-down list is not enabled, you can contact Macromedia Breeze
Technical Support for information about enabling this feature: www.macromedia.com/go/
breeze_contact_support.
Step 5: Selecting a speaker photo (optional)
In step 4, if you chose to have a presentation outline and include a speaker photo, the next step in
the publishing process is to select a speaker photo.

16 Chapter 1: Publishing a New Breeze Presentation
If you did not choose to have a presentation outline and you have manage permissions for the
folder you are publishing to, the next step in the publishing process is “Step 6: Setting
presentation permissions” on page 17.
Follow these guidelines when including a photo:
Photo formats Use one of the following supported formats: JPG, GIF, BMP, or PNG.
Photo size Use a photo less than 100 pixels high and 150 pixels wide. If either of your photo
dimensions is larger, Breeze resizes the image to fit those dimensions.
The speaker photo is placed with the speaker information in the presentation outline above the
listing of slide titles.
To add a speaker photo:
1. On the Upload Photo page, click the Browse button.
Note: The Upload Photo page appears after “Step 4: Selecting presentation features” on page 13.
On the Select Features page, you must choose to include a presentation outline and a speaker
photo.
2. In the dialog box, browse to the photo file, and then click the Open button.
3. Click the Next button.
If you have manage permissions for the folder to which you are publishing, the Set Permissions
page appears (see “Step 6: Setting presentation permissions” on page 17).
If you do not have manage permissions for the folder to which you are publishing, the
presentation begins uploading to the Breeze server (see “Step 7: Uploading a presentation”
on page 23).
For more information on user permissions, see “About permissions” on page 20.

Step 6: Setting presentation permissions 17
Step 6: Setting presentation permissions
The sixth step in the publishing process is to set presentation permissions.
This step applies only to users who have manage permissions for the folder to which they are
publishing. If you do not have manage permissions, go to “Step 7: Uploading a presentation”
on page 23.
You can create two types of presentations:
Public Anyone can view a public presentation.
Private Only selected Breeze users can view private presentations. They must log in with a
Breeze user name and password.
For more information on private and public presentations, see “Customizing the permission
setting” on page 18.
When you are publishing a presentation, you can choose from two options on the Set Permissions
page:
Use the default Same as Parent Folder setting The default is Same as Parent Folder. The
presentation automatically inherits the permission profile of the parent folder in which it is
published (see “Using the default permission setting” on page 18).
Customize the permissions setting Click the Customize button and create a unique
permission profile for this presentation. User and group permissions that you set for the
presentation take precedence over those that you set for the parent folder (see “Customizing the
permission setting” on page 18).

18 Chapter 1: Publishing a New Breeze Presentation
Using the default permission setting
The default permission setting is Same as Parent Folder. The presentation automatically inherits
the same permission profile as the parent folder in which it is published. If the parent folder has
permission for public viewing, the presentation also has permission for public viewing. If the
parent folder has private settings, the presentation also has private settings.
For more information on user and folder permissions, see “About permissions” on page 20.
Here is an example of using the Same as Parent permission setting:
•Presentation A is located in folder A.
•Folder A’s permission profile gives all users view permissions.
•Presentation A’s permission setting is set to Same as Parent.
•All users have view permissions to presentation A.
To set presentation permissions to use the same setting as the parent folder:
•On the Set Permissions page, click the Finish button.
The presentation begins uploading to the Breeze server. For more information, see “Step 7:
Uploading a presentation” on page 23.
Note: The Set Permissions page appears after “Step 4: Selecting presentation features”
on page 13, or after “Step 5: Selecting a speaker photo (optional)” on page 15 if you included a
speaker photo.
Customizing the permission setting
You can create a unique permission profile for the presentation that differs from its parent folder’s
permission profile. Click the Customize button and then assign groups and/or individuals a
permission type (no access, view, publish, or manage) for the presentation. For more information
on permission types, see “Permission types” on page 21.
The permission profile for the presentation takes precedence over the permission profile assigned
to the parent folder.
You have two options when customizing permissions for a presentation:
Public presentation Anyone can view a public presentation. After you finish publishing a
presentation, you receive an e-mail notification containing the URL for the website where you
can view the Breeze presentation. Anyone to whom you give this URL can view the presentation
without logging in with a Breeze user name and password.
Private presentation Only Breeze users with a valid Breeze user account and the appropriate
permission can view private presentations. After you finish publishing a presentation, you receive
an e-mail notification containing the URL for the website where you can view the Breeze
presentation. Anyone who uses the URL to view the presentation is prompted to log in with a
Breeze user name and password.

Step 6: Setting presentation permissions 19
Creating a public presentation
To create a public presentation, select the Allow Public Viewing option on the Set Presentation
Permissions page.
To create a presentation available for public viewing:
1. On the Set Permissions page, click the Customize button.
Note: The Set Presentation Permissions page appears after “Step 4: Selecting presentation
features” on page 13, or after “Step 5: Selecting a speaker photo (optional)” on page 15 if you
included a speaker photo.
2. Select Yes next to the Allow Public Viewing option.
3. Click the Finish button.
The presentation begins uploading to the Breeze server. For more information, see “Step 7:
Uploading a presentation” on page 23.
Creating a private presentation with custom permissions
To create a private presentation with a custom permission profile that is different from that of its
parent folder, make sure the Allow Public Viewing option is not selected, and create a list of users
and groups with specific permission types.
To create a private presentation with custom permissions:
1. On the Set Permissions page, click the Customize button.
Note: The Set Permissions page appears after “Step 4: Selecting presentation features”
on page 13, or after “Step 5: Selecting a speaker photo (optional)” on page 15 if you included a
speaker photo.
2. Set access permissions for users and groups.
For detailed steps, see “Modifying the permission access list” on page 19.
Note: Account administrators are not included in the user list, because they have access to
all functions.
3. Click the Finish button.
The presentation begins uploading to the Breeze server. For more information, see “Step 7:
Uploading a presentation” on page 23.
Modifying the permission access list
You can change the permission access list for a private presentation by adding or removing users
and groups from the list. Doing this lets you control exactly who has what type of access to your
presentation.
Note: Users belonging to the Account Administrators group can always view all presentations. By
default, users belonging to the Account Authors groups can view all presentations, but you can set
custom permissions to override this.
To add a user or group to the access list of a private presentation:
1. On the Set Permissions page, click the Customize button.

20 Chapter 1: Publishing a New Breeze Presentation
2. Make sure that you select No for the Allow Public Viewing option.
3. Click the Add button.
A list of users and groups appears.

About permissions
You control what features a Breeze user can access for a particular file or folder by assigning

permission type assigned to the individual user takes precedence over that of the group. To
simplify account management, it is best to assign permissions only at the group level, not at the
