Running a slide show

Presentations provides various options for preparing and running a slide show. This chapter provides all the relevant details:

The section Starting a slide show describes the different ways to start running a slide show.

The Slide show setup section explains all options for setting up a slide show.

In the Custom slide shows section, you will learn how to use a single presentation file as the basis for multiple slide shows in which certain slides are omitted or displayed in a different order.

The Slide show interaction section shows you how to interact during your slide show. In addition to the navigation buttons, there are useful tools such as a highlighter feature that you can use to highlight text or elements in a slide.

In the Using the presenter view section, you will become familiar with the "Presenter view". This is a useful tool when running a slide show on a second display, for example, a projector: If it is enabled, the audience sees the normal slide show, while the presenter himself sees useful additional information on his own display – such as his notes on each slide.

The following pages provide detailed information on these functions.
