To Create the Presentation:

1. In IRESis, click on the “Reports” tab, then click on the “Inventory” icon.
2. Run the inventory for either the agent or the office, remembering to delete the beginning date for Active listings, so your search results will contain all active listings.

5. Click and drag, to highlight the first listing, including the photos.
6. Press “Ctrl” & “C” to copy.
7. Open Microsoft Word.
8. Press “Ctrl” & “V” to paste the listing into the new document.
9. Click "File, Save".
10. Type the file name “Listing1.” 
11. Change “Save As Type” from Word Document to “Web Page.”
12. Click Save (it is highly suggested you create a new folder to keep all slide show files in). 
13.  Click View, HTML Source.
14. Click at the end of the “Title” line (commonly known as a meta tag). It will look like this:
              <title>MLS#: XXXXXX</title>
    and press Enter to create a blank line.
15. Type the following code exactly as is or copy and paste it directly from this document:
              <meta http-Equiv="refresh" content="4;url=Listing2.htm">
    (“4” is the number of seconds the current file will remain on the screen before switching to the next file, which is indicated in the “url=” code)
16. Choose File, Save, then close the current window.
17. Switch to IRESis, highlight the next listing and press CTRL-C.
18. Switch to MS Word, highlight the entire contents of the Listing1 file, including text and photos.
19. Press CTRL-V (this pastes the new listing over the existing one).
20. Choose File, Save As and name the file “Listing2” (leave file type as “Web Page”). Click Save.

21. Choose View, HTML Source and find the meta tag that you entered originally. It will not be under the Title meta tag, but further down the screen and it will look like this:
              <meta http-equiv=refresh content="4;url=Listing2.htm">

22. Change the file name in the code from Listing2 to Listing3.
23. Click File, Save, then close the current window.

24. Repeat steps 17 through 23 as needed, per listing, making sure to name each subsequent file Listing3, Listing4, etc. and change the HTML tag appropriately.
    
    **** If you would like the presentation to continuously loop (i.e., once the last listing is displayed, it displays the first listing), change the file name in the code (Step 22) to “Listing1.”

To Run the Presentation:

1. Open Internet Explorer and click "File, Open".
2. Click "Browse" and select the “Listing1” HTML file that you created above.
