Note:
If you want to be able to position an object on a slide without
having PowerPoint snap the object to the grid, press and hold
down the Alt key on the keyboard as you add, move, or resize
the object.
Notes:
You can treat your presentation like any Word
document.

the scale of the picture.
Editing images

of an image that can be controlled are

particularly used with logos. To place a company logo, for example, on each page of a
presentation, go to View > Master > Slide Master, and insert the picture there.
This way you can quickly display the file or Web page connected to the hyperlink during the
slide show.

once you press the SPACE BAR or the ENTER key.

slide you want to move and click on one of the Move buttons.
Notes:
- From one presentation you can create many custom slide shows. For example, you may
want to use a presentation of a chapter in a book to create a detailed custom slide show to
your students and a shorter custom slide show for your fellow faculty members.
- To view, edit or delete a custom slide show, go to Slide Show > Custom Shows, select its
name from the Custom Shows dialog box, and click on the Show, or Edit, or Remove
button consecutively.
You can also change the screen resolution PowerPoint will use to display the slide show.
Notes:
- If you want to deliver the slide show to the audience, select the
“Presented by a speaker” option
- If you want the audience to browse the show, select “Browse by an Individual” option.
- If you want the show to be automatically delivered in a shopping mall, select the “Browsed
at a kiosk” option.
