To start a slide show from Normal or Slide Sorter view, you click the Slide Show button to display the current slide full screen. Then the simplest way to move linearly from one slide to the next is to click the mouse button without moving the mouse. But you can also move around by using the keyboard:
To move to the next slide, press the Spacebar, the Down Arrow key, or the Right Arrow key.
To move to the previous slide, press the Page Up key or the Left Arrow key.
To end the presentation, press the Esc key.
If you need to move to a slide other than the next one or the previous one, you can move the mouse pointer to display an inconspicuous toolbar in the lower-left corner of the slide. You can use this toolbar in the following ways:
To move to the previous slide, click the Previous button.
To jump to a slide out of sequence (even if it is hidden), click the Navigation button, click Go To Slide, and then click the slide.
To display the slides in a custom slide show, click the Navigation button, click Custom Show, and then click the show.
To display a list of keyboard shortcuts for carrying out slide show tasks click the Navigation button, and then click Help. For example, you can press the H key to show the next hidden slide, press the E key to erase pen annotations, or press the A key to show the pointer arrow.
To end the presentation, click the Navigation button, and then click End Show.
During a presentation, you can reinforce your message by drawing on the slides with an electronic "pen" or changing the background behind text with a highlighter. You simply click the Pen button on the toolbar that appears when you move the mouse, click the tool you want, and then begin drawing or highlighting. You can change the pen or highlighter color to make it stand out on the slide by clicking the Pen button, clicking Ink Color, and then selecting the color you want.
In this exercise, you will move around in various ways while delivering a presentation. You’ll also use a pen tool to mark up one slide, change the color, and mark up another.
