PowerPoint - Custom Shows

Course Details

Course Duration - 1 hour

Course Objectives

You are already familiar with creating slides in PowerPoint and putting a show together.

When delivering a PowerPoint presentation, most people start at slide 1 and continue on to the end. It doesn’t need to be like that.  You can set up a presentation so that you can cover any topics in any order.

Or you might have a presentation that you use for different audiences. If you find yourself using Save As a lot and creating lots of copies of your presentations, Custom Shows might be for you.

This mini session will introduce the various elements needed to achieve these aim. We will also cover some useful shortcuts to use when delivering a presentation.
