The ability to create and store custom shows within a single presentation file offers you great flexibility. You can create several custom shows from one presentation by simply choosing the slides to include and reorganizing them in any way you wish. The slides in a custom show remain identical to the corresponding slides in your main presentation, but by selecting and rearranging their order, you can create quite different shows to meet your viewers’ needs.
