You'll end up with a PDF file that you can view using Acroread. Acroread has a full-screen projection mode.
Angus,
As I wrote to Paul, "Aha!". I've not used acroread for this so it didn't occur to me.
The results are very impressive, but you'll need to use quite a lot of ERT in your LyX document. I attach a document to get you going. It won't print, because the images aren't there, but it should be enough to get you started.
OK. I'll give it a try.
I was speaking yesterday with one of the Association's office staff (she was obviously bored since the other two had left for meetings in China). I mentioned how poorly most folks do presentations with their "PowerPoint" stuff. There ought to be prohibition of those speaking to an audience with computer-generated visual aids unless the individual has taken a course in how to do it. Irritates me no end to have someone read his/her "slides" to me.
Anyway, I'll put together a test case and see how it goes. The advantage I see to using beemer and acroread is that I can provide the presentation to others -- particularly those stuck with Microsoft -- and they can view it to their ultimate boredom.
Many thanks,
Rich
