Hello, I would like to have my menu display as a dropdown on the top right. Is there a setting that will allow me to do so. I really don't like losing the visual real estate.
I had a look to see if you could butcher the Resources or Glossary drop down lists to include links to internal slides in your story, but that doesn't seem to be possible. I think the best you could hope for is to build your own drop down menu using layers, and have a small menu button on top of all of your slides (probably use Slide Masters to make this easier). Not ideal as the button will be 'on' your slide rather than above it, but best I can think of.
There's a bunch of tutorials on making drop down lists but here's the first I came across:

Basically a button or shape that on click shows a layer containing further buttons and shapes (each with triggers to jump to the appropriate pages).
My mistake - it seems if you move the menu into the top bar (on the right in your case) it makes it collapsible - who knew! (not me, apparently).

Not certain if this is a feature in earlier versions though...
Thank you Erin! I know I had done this before in 2.0 but couldn't remember! You Rock!
I just posted that link today Patty :)
Glad that Erin was able to share that with you and it's what you were looking for.
Glad I found it! I've never used the menu before because I found it really ugly - I had no idea you could stick it there! I might use it now :)
That's awesome Erin :) So glad you found some information that could be helpful for you as well and I do appreciate you chiming in to share!
