Abstract: A method and system for displaying slides associated with display categories. Display categories are simultaneously displayed, each display category including display sets, each display set including a set of slides. A first row of buttons is displayed for a selected display category. Each button in the first row of buttons corresponds to a different display set in the selected display category such that each display set is represented by a different button in the first row of buttons. A second row of buttons is displayed simultaneous with the displayed first row of buttons. Each button in the second row of buttons corresponds to a different slide in the display set selected via selection of the first button in the first row of buttons. The slide corresponding to the selected second button is displayed simultaneous with the displayed first row of buttons and the displayed second row of buttons.

Abstract: A method and system enabling a user to navigate through a repository of graphical displays and maintain knowledge of the location of any display in the repository. The navigation enables a user to create a slide presentation by searching, selecting, downloading and compiling slides from a central slide repository. Graphical displays are arranged in a repository in a grid-like configuration such that a list of groups displayed in one direction and the specific displays within that group are listed in another (e.g., perpendicular) direction. These groups of slides are arranged in a set of directories and sub-directories that are linked to each directory. A hierarchy of the display repository displays the particular directory and sub-directory path taken by a user to retrieve any particular graphical display. A user may navigate through the display repository and select displays and determine their location in the display repository.

Abstract: A method and system creates a graphical display repository at a computer network location. The method also provides for the conversion and transfer of displays stored in a local database to the network repository. The storage method will enable graphical displays to be stored in the repository such that a user can easily navigate through the repository and maintain a knowledge of their location within the repository at all times. This method and system will also produce navigation tools, in the form of buttons that will be included on each graphical display that is shown to the user. The user will be able to select displays from a particular presentation set by selecting one of the buttons that will correspond to a set and/or a particular display.

Abstract: A user compiling graphic slides for a presentation has the ability search or navigate through a presentation slide repository, select slides that the user desires, download the selected slides to a file at the location of the user and convert these slides into a slide presentation format using a slide program such as PowerPoint.RTM. In this method, the navigation and download slide steps can be performed in a browser on a computer network environment. The conversion and display function can be performed with software located in the user machine optionally in combination with server side software.
