Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method of creating a presentation is provided. The method provides an off-line presentation application to allow the addition of multimedia objects from a central repository comprising multimedia objects. This method also provides instantaneous correlation of multimedia objects for the text inputs of the user, and for embedding the selected multimedia objects to presentation slides. The multimedia objects can either be animations, movies, or diagrams. This method also allows a user to search the repositories for multimedia objects using keywords. The local repository can be updated using an update manager with newly available multimedia objects from the central repository. This system also provides means for creating and continuously playing multimedia presentation.
