Choose Slide Show, Set Up Show to open the Set Up Show dialog box (shown in Figure 7.1).

Select a Show Type. Options include a show

• Presented by a Speaker (Full Screen) This is the default viewing option for slide shows that you present full screen (using your computer, for example). Figure 7.2 shows this view.

  Figure 7.2. Having a speaker present a slide show is the most common way to deliver a presentation.

  

• Browsed by an Individual (Window) This option enables an individual to control and view the presentation in PowerPoint's browser. (See Figure 7.3.)

  Figure 7.3. Choosing the Browsed by an Individual option enables users to view your presentation on demand.

  

• Browsed at a Kiosk (Full Screen) This option enables you to create a self-running show that displays without user or presenter intervention. Its appearance is full screen, similar to a presentation presented by a speaker, but it runs without any human intervention. This show type automatically loops continuously.

  Note

  A tradeshow demonstration is one example of when you might want to set up your show to be browsed at a kiosk. Using automatic timings and continuous looping, you can continually display the same show over and over for new viewers. You can add a voice narration if you want, but be sure that your show plays in a location where the narration will be audible.

  
  

  Your presentation won't browse at a kiosk? See the Troubleshooting section at the end of the chapter.

Check the Loop Continuously Until 'Esc'check box if you want your presentation to play over and over again until you press the Esc key. This check box is available only if you select the Presented by a Speaker or Browsed by an Individual options. A presentation loops continuously by default if browsed at a kiosk.

Check the Show Without Narration check box to temporarily deactivate any accompanying narrations. For example, if you are presenting at a show, narrations may be either inaudible or distracting.

→ For more details about creating narrations, see "Recording a Voice Narration,"

Check the Show Without Animation check box to temporarily deactivate any accompanying slide animations. For example, you may want to include animations to use in some situations but not all.

→ If you want to add animation to your presentation, see "Working with Animation,"

Check the Show Scrollbar check box to display a scrollbar on the right side of the browser when viewing. This option is available only if you choose the Browsed by an Individual show type. An individual can then use the scrollbar to navigate your presentation.

Specify the slides you want to include in your presentation. Options include

• All slides

• A certain range of slides, indicated in the From and To boxes

• A Custom Show selected from the drop-down list

  Note

  The Custom Show field is active only if you've created a custom show.

  
  

  → To learn how to create a custom show, see "Working with Custom Shows,"

You can choose to advance slides either Manually or Using Timings, If Present. To advance the slide manually, you need to press a key or click the mouse.

→ For more information about slide transitions, see "Setting Slide Transitions,"

→ To learn more about timings, see "Rehearsing Timings,"

If you choose to present by a speaker, you can choose a Pen Color to use if you're going to utilize the pen function when presenting.

From the Show On drop-down list, you can choose the monitor on which to display the commentary you write with the pen if there is a second monitor.

→ To learn how to preview and present your show, see "Previewing Your Show,"
