Master the Element of Surprise

Jump to previous slides quickly   If somebody asks a question about a previous slide during your presentation, you need to find it without losing your place. When this happens, use Slide Navigator to move directly to the slide. While your presentation is in progress, right-click anywhere, and then click Slide Navigator (Go To menu).

Display hidden slides   Suppose you are presenting a series of slides containing critical news. Following these slides are hidden slides with background information that you’d rather not present unless necessary. But during your presentation, somebody asks a question that can only be answered by one of your hidden slides. Using Slide Navigator, you display a hidden slide by selecting the title of that slide from the list. Hidden slides are indicated by parentheses around the slide number in the Slide Navigator dialog box.

Want to add special effects?   To add a special effect to an object placed on a slide, select the object, and then click Action Settings (Slide Show menu). To play the special effect, click the object. For example, you can click an object to play a sound effect. Check your notes   You can refer to your notes, or add to them, without ever leaving your slide show. Right-click anywhere during the slide show, and then click Speaker Notes.
