How do I turn a PowerPoint deck into a course?

A PowerPoint deck makes a quick start for a course. Xogogy opens .pptx files and turns each slide into a course slide you can then make interactive.

Import the deck

1. #

   On the start screen, choose Import course…, or choose File › Import course… if a course is open.

2. #

   Pick your .pptx file.

3. #

   In the Import course file dialog, check that the Detected format reads Microsoft PowerPoint presentation (.pptx).

4. #

   Check the Project folder name and Location for the new course folder (it starts in the Documents › Course Studio folder; Choose location… picks another place). Then choose Import. A name already taken there becomes Name (2). Xogogy takes the course title from the file. To change it later, edit Course title on the Inspector's Course tab.
