everything you need to give a smooth
professional presentation from advancing
the slides to using special presentation
tools starts with the PowerPoint
slideshow all you have to do is go to
slideshow from beginning or switch to
slideshow view at the bottom of your
screen this is exactly what I'll be
sharing with the audience at tonight's
event to control my presentation I like
to use the arrow keys on my keyboard to
advance the slides or reverse them you
can also use the menu in the bottom left
corner that appears only when you hover
over it this gives you easy access to
navigation and other tools that can help
you during your presentation for example
have you ever wanted to share something
else with your audience while using
PowerPoint maybe a website or a file in
another program you can access your
taskbar from this menu by going to
screen switch programs for me this means
we can share information from the
school's website without having to end
the slideshow or exit PowerPoint when
you're ready just close or minimize the
program to go back the menu that allowed
us to switch programs can also be
accessed by right-clicking anywhere on
the screen go to slide is another
presentation tool I use pretty
frequently it lets you jump to any slide
in your presentation perfect for
skipping ahead now it'd be a good time
for me to practice using the pen and
highlighter tools how do they work just
click to open the menu here and you can
change your mouse pointer to a pen or a
highlighter to draw attention to items
on your slides for instance during the
2010 to 2011 school year
gift wrapping was the most successful
fundraiser earning nearly two thousand
dollars see how it works let's try the
pen tool here we can see that funds
raised by the donut sale went down to
slightly less than 1500 use the same
menu if you want to erase all the ink on
your current slide or switch back to the
mouse pointer I'm ready to wrap this up
so I'm just going to end the slideshow
by clicking and show on the presentation
menu you can also press escape on your
before we leave PowerPoint is going to
ask if we want to keep the ink markings
we just made I'm going to keep them for
now which means they stay on the slide
but can be deleted any time there's one
more thing I want to show you that might
help you with your presentation if you
go to slideshow then the set up
slideshow command you can access
settings that control how your
presentation is played for example if
you ever needed to set up a slideshow
that would run by itself on a continuous
loop maybe at a kiosk or a tradeshow
booth this is the place to do it take
some time to explore the rest of the
setup options on your own and don't be
afraid to experiment with a little
practice and with so many tools at your
disposal you'll be an expert PowerPoint
presenter in no time like what you just
saw greatest add a comment subscribe to
