THE SLIDE SHOW TAB

The Slide Show Tab

The next tab in the Ribbon is the Slide Show tab. This contains tools that control how the slide show is presented.

Start Slide Show

These buttons allow you to choose how the slide show runs:

From Beginning: the slide show begins on slide 1.

From Current Slide: the normal setting: the slide show begins from the slide you are currently looking at.
Custom Slide Show: this allows you to choose which slides will be shown and which ones will not. This is in case you give a slide
show, but you don't need all the slides.
Set Up
This section allows you to use some special features for the slide show.:

We will only take a look at two features:

Set Up Slide Show:

Here, you can use several useful options:

Show Type: do you want the show to appear full-screen, or in a window?

Show Slides: set up a custom show, choosing only a range of slides (e.g., 4-9), or selected slides (e.g., 3-5-9-12-13-16).
Show Options: you can set the show up so that it repeats instead of ending, or turn off narration or animations.
Multiple Monitors: If you have more than one monitor--for example, your computer shows one screen on your notebook computer,
and a different screen on a TV set, you can control which screen has the slide show and which screen has your notes.
Performance: increase the graphics performance, or choose a "resolution" (screen size) for the slides.

Record Narration:

If your computer has a microphone, you can record a narration. This will allow you to record your part of the show, so the presenbtation
can play without you. For example, you could give the PowerPoint file to a friend, and when they play it on your computer, your voice plays
as audio and "give the presentation" for you. This can be used with automatic timings of animations and transitions.
Monitors
This area is similar to the "Set Up Slide Show" dialog box; you can:

Resolution: choose the screen size. A "higher" (or "bigger") number will mean the slide will seem bigger and have more detail, but
might show more slowly. 640x480 is about the same quality as an ordinary TV. 1024x640 is closer to the "720p" type of Hi-Vision
(HDTV) television. 1600x1000 is closest to the "1080i" or "1080p" type of HDTV.
Show Presentation On: if you have more than one screen (e.g., notebook and TV) you can choose which screen will show the slide
show full-screen.
Use Presenter View: In "Presenter View," one screen (usually the TV or projector) will show the slides full-screen, while the other
screen (the presenter's notebook screen) will show a special view including notes, as well as the previous and next slides.
