Running a Slide Show

You’ve finished putting your presentation together and you’re ready to show it. Now what? A large part of a successful slide show is the way you deliver the presentation. Fortunately, a slide presentation is easy to set up, and PowerPoint provides some handy tools to help you run the show smoothly.

Run the Presentation

  1. On the Slide Show tab, with PowerPoint running and your slide show open, select the resolution you want to use.

  2. If you have more than one monitor attached to your computer, select the one you want to use to show your presentation.

  3. Click the From Beginning button (or press F5) or the From Current Slide button to begin the presentation with either the first slide or the currently selected slide.

  4. To display the next animation or—if there are no animations—the next slide, click the left mouse button or press the Right or the Down arrow key.

  5. To move back to the previous animation or—if there are no animations—the previous slide, move the mouse, and click the Back arrow, or press the Left or the Up arrow key.

  2. Move the mouse to display the mouse pointer and the toolbar buttons, and click the Pointer button.

  4. Click the Pointer button again, point to Ink Color, and, in the gallery that appears, click the color you want for your annotation.

  5. Hold down the left mouse button and drag to highlight or to annotate the slide.

  6. Continue to go through the show, making whatever modifications you want. If you want to stop the presentation before you reach the end, press the Esc key, or right-click and choose End Show from the shortcut menu. If you’ve used any of the annotation tools, choose to save them when prompted if you want the annotations to be saved with the presentation.
