Summary:

The information below is taken from the PowerPoint version 2.00 Help file for giving an on-screen presentation.

So you can preview your slides and practice giving the presentation, or give a small group an on-screen presentation, PowerPoint can show your slides as a slide show.

To do a on-screen presentation Choose Slide Show from the File menu. The dialog box that appears has choices for controlling the show, manually or automatically. The slides are shown without the distractions of the menus at the top of the screen and without the window features. All you see is the slide contents.

Click the mouse button to advance the slides manually, press ESC to interrupt the show, then click Cancel to return to the regular PowerPoint window. Click Help to see the other keyboard keys for running the show. To design your presentation for best appearance on the screen, so that it will show at full size, choose Printer Setup and choose Display as your target printer.

For more information about this topic, refer to Pages 197-200 and 333-334 of your “Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows User’s Guide.”
