How to blacken or whiten a screen during a slide show in PowerPoint? Sometimes, during a slide show, someone will ask a question that's unrelated to the slide on t
he screen. When this happens, you want to focus attention on the question at hand, not on the slide. Or you might want to give the audience a break from the slide show. In these situations, all you need to do is blacken (or whiten) the screen. Doing so g
ives the impression that you've pulled up a blank slide for the occasion. \par
1. Press the B key to blacken the screen.\par
2. Press the W key to whiten the screen.\par
When you press the B or W key a second time, the slide show picks up where you le
ft off, on the slide that was displayed when you blanked the screen.\par

\b Microsoft PowerPoint's Slide Finder\par
\b0 The number one request from the PowerPoint Wish Line was the ability for users to quickly find and reuse slides from existing
presentations without browsing vast corporate servers. Usability research shows that 32% of presentation builders reuse slides from existing presentations. The new Slide Finder allows instant previewing and opening of PowerPoint files by keeping frequent
ly used presentations in the list of favourites.\par
\par
\b AutoLayout in PowerPoint\par
\b0 The slide master may contain objects that are overlapped by the AutoLayout placeholders. If you want to adjust the placeholders so that they no longer overla
p, use the following steps:\par
1. On the View menu, click Master. Click the Slide Master.\par
2. Hold down the SHIFT key and click the placeholder that you want to resize or move.\par
3. Adjust the size of the placeholder by dragging one of the black
handles on the placeholder (these handles are located at each corner and at the midpoint of the sides of the placeholder).\par
4. To move the placeholder, click the shaded outline and drag it to the desired new position.\par
With the exception of the
Title Slide layout, every slide based on an AutoLayout will have the placeholders automatically adjusted.\par
\par
\b What is "Presentation Conferencing"?\par
\b0 In Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 95, you can view and control presentations on one or
more computers, which are driven by a single computer. As a presenter, you are provided with the tools necessary to connect to other computers on a local network (using TCP/IP protocol), to view backup materials, to monitor your progress against rehears
ed timings, and to gracefully jump to and preview slides.
