USE THE POWER OF POWERPOINT
Teeny Tiny Slide Show -
Isn't it irritating when you've started a slide -show in PowerPoint in full-screen and realize that it needs some tweaking? You have to stop the show, change the slide, start the show again and then discover another slide that needs changing ... Aargh!!!
Instead, when you start a Slide Show button at the bottom left of the screen. This opens the slide show in a separate, smaller window, so u can easily switch between the presentation and the show.
Hop, Skip & Jump -
During a slideshow you directly jump to slides if you know their names or slide numbers. Just type in their slide numbers & click [Enter] ... Voila !!!
Display Fonts Correctly On All PCs -
This happens because, when you transfer or open a presentation on another PC, that PC may not contain the fonts that are installed on your PC and used in the presentation.
Solution - Embed TrueType fonts. When you save your presentation, use the ‘Save As’ Command and in the ‘Save As’ dialog box, choose ‘Embed TrueType Fonts’ from the ‘Tools’ menu. In PowerPoint 2003, do to Tools > Save Options and Check ‘Embed TrueType fonts’.
