A preview of dynamic effects in a document is provided. As a user scrolls through pages of a document, for example, slides of a slide presentation, a static representation of each page may be displayed in a main viewing area, and a dynamic view of any dynamic effects may be displayed in an inset preview pane. The preview pane may be provided in a corner of the main viewing area, and may display the dynamic effects in a loop or upon selection. Accordingly, a user may be able to scroll through a document without having to click through interactive content on a page, and concurrently may be informed of and have an opportunity to view the dynamic effects in a preview pane.
