Viewing the document in Presentation mode

In Presentation mode, the InDesign interface is hidden entirely, and the document fills the whole screen. This mode works well for presenting design ideas to clients.

  1. Press and hold down the Screen Mode button (currentscreenmode.jpg) at the bottom of the Tools panel, and select Presentation (presentationview.jpg).
