  • PowerPoint Presentation Tips!

    These just came to me in an email from Dell Small Business (I have an account with them). I was aware of some of them but not all! Handy!

    While in “Slide Show” mode, press the following keys to help enhance your presentation:

    • Press “B” to Black out the screen. Press “B” again to return to normal. This is a great tool for when you want your audience to focus on you, not the slide.
    • “A” or “=” will show a pointer during your slide show. Press the same key again to make the pointer go away.
    • CTRL + P will turn your pointer into a pen so you can draw on the presentation during the slide show. CTRL + E turns your pen into an eraser.

    To learn more about cool things you can do, press “F1″ while in slide show mode!

    Tres cool!

    Hi Kevin, these tips are so cool. I never knew this about ppt shows. Thanks for sharing it.
    I teach computers to grades 1 to 3. Most of our learners don’t have access to computers outside of school. Every learner in the school comes to the lab for 1 hour a week and they each have their own workstation during the lesson. I am interested in your blog.

  2. Don’t forget, the W key does the same as the B key, but turns the screen white instead. Sometimes that’s more appropriate (though not often, I admit! :) )
