0071 <para>Fill in <guilabel>Title</guilabel> and <guilabel>Author</guilabel> fields. 
0072 Select the slides which should be exported. If you want to change a name 
0073 used on the &HTML; page for each slide double click on the name and edit it 
0074 inline.</para>
0075 
0076 <para>In the <guilabel>Output preview</guilabel> 
0077 area the downsized slides are displayed and you can check the correct slide order 
0078 and browse the presentation with the <guiicon>&lt;</guiicon> and <guiicon>&gt;</guiicon> buttons.
0079 </para>
0080 
0081 <para>Now you can select a stylesheet with the configuration of the &HTML; options.</para>

0104 
0105 <para>You can see how it works by using your file manager or web
0106 browser to open the <filename>index.html</filename> file. Click where prompted,
0107 and the first slide of your presentation is displayed. It will now behave as a
0108 &stage; slideshow.</para>
0109 
0110 <para>Each click on the arrow icons take you to the next or previous slide. 
0111 To get back to the start of the slideshow click on the slide icon.</para>

0132 background - do this by selecting the <guilabel>Document background</guilabel> tool
0133 in the Tools docker.</para>
0134 
0135 <para>We want the background to look attractive, so you may choose to use an image as a
0136 background by clicking the <guibutton>Set image</guibutton> button: feel free to
0137 experiment, but keep it beautiful!</para>
