Custom shows and action settings

Hi
I have created a presentation, and now am customising various 'shows' from it.
So, I have one show that is the full presentation.
I am making some shorter shows for shorter events.
I can make an action button to take me through to the full presentation (or to some other document), should I want to expand on a particular point, to but how will I get back to my shorter presentation once I've done that? (I don't want to my full presentation to be peppered with buttons to take me to a variety of other custom presentations!)
Cheers
Janet

RE: custom shows and action settings

Hi Janet,

Thank you for your question.

Are you creating the custom shows from within the same presentation ie. using the Slide Show Menu and Custom shows or are you creating and saving separate presentations?

Regards

Simon

RE: custom shows and action settings

Hi Janet,

Thank you for the response regarding the presentations.

You could create a slide that contains bullet points and lines of text representing each presentation and create hyperlinks on each line of text to the corresponding presentation.

Then create an action button in the Slide Master so that it appears on every slide that takes you to this bulleted slide.

Alternatively if you right click over your presentation you can access the custom shows though there.

I hope this helps.

Regards

Simon

thanks Simon. Yes, I am already using that sort of system on individual presentations with an index page at the end with hyperlinks. So I could do something similar with all the presentations on it. Why didn't I think of that before! Thanks.

PowerPoint tip:

Capture Screenshots in Powerpoint 2010

A great new feature to Powerpoint 2010 is the "screen clipping" command. This allows you to capture an image on your screen directly via powerpoint.

Go to your insert tab on the ribbon and in the images box you will see "sreenshot", click on the arrow and select "screen clipping". Powerpoint will minimise and you will be taken to the next open application or your desktop. Wait a few seconds a your screen will grey out a little and your mouse curser will turn into a + sign. Hold your mouse down and select the area you wish to capture. When you let go of your mouse the selected area will be exported into your powerpoint presentation as an image which you can edit.

It really simple and very effective, give it a go!

This feature is also available on Excel and Word.
