Abstract
A system for a multimedia slide presentation having a computer, display screen, sound system, video disc, video cassette recorder, photo compact disc drive, compact disc read only memory (CD ROM), and a pointing device (trackball or mouse). Each slide may contain photographs, text, graphics, and charts, or any combination of various media. By actuating and releasing the second control button of the mouse or trackball, a tracked, popup menu is displayed in the multimedia slide system and aids the user to make selections that operate on the slides and objects on the slides. The popup menu contains a button bar, a title bar, and a list of textual menu items. Buttons in the button bar provide an appealing "shortcut" to frequently used commands. The text menu items may also indicate another cascaded, popup menu when selected.
