   You are now ready to use the BLL Generator to create BLL files from your presentation program. Just start your program as you normally would. Load your presentation file and print. Make sure you select "Personal LFR (BLL)" as your printer. When your program is finished printing, you will find one BLL file for each slide located in the folder you designated as the Destination Folder in step #8 above. We recommend you preview your BLL file by double clicking on it to make sure it turned out okay. If the BLL's look all right, send them to us along with an online order form and we will take it from there.
