The Slide Show feature allows you to preview your presentation on your computer. You can use the Slide Show to check a presentation before printing it or to prepare to show it electronically. By adding transitions to your presentation, you can help emphasize topic changes.

2. On the Slide Show menu, click View Show.

3. After the first slide appears, click anywhere on the screen to move through the presentation.

4. At the last slide, click anywhere to end the slide show.

You can use highlighting while you are giving the presentation to add emphasis to important information.

To “save a presentation to the Web” means to place a copy of the presentation in HTML format on the Web. When saving a presentation to the Web you can do any of the following:

·          Make available on the Web a copy of a presentation that only you will edit.

·          Make a subset of your presentation available.

·          Select which browser format you want to make your presentation available in, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 or Netscape Navigator 3.0.

·          Make only the slides (not the notes) of your presentation available.

1.  On the File menu, click Save as Web Page.

2.  Select a folder and name the file and then click Save. 

3.  To view the presentation as a Web page, open it in the browser.

You can print other types of presentation output using the Print what list. When you print notes pages, they print with one slide at the top of the page and the presentation notes at the bottom of the page. Handouts print two, three, or six slides per page with room for your audience to add notes as you give the presentation. You may use handouts to provide an outline of the presentation to your class.

To print notes:

1.      On the View menu, point to Master, and then click Notes Master.

2.      Add the items you want on the notes master—art, text, headers or footers, date, time, or page number. Items you add appear only on the notes; no changes are made to the slide master. 

3.   On the Master toolbar, click Close. 

4.   On the File menu, click Print.
