Of course, the <strong>N<\/strong> and <strong>P<\/strong> keys stand for &#8220;next&#8221; and &#8220;previous&#8221;, but you should be using a remote to\u00a0control\u00a0your slides. We already discussed the &#8220;Number followed by Enter&#8221; choice in a prior post (the <a title=\"Read this posted article\" href=\"http:\/\/medianet-ny.com\/wordpress\/2009\/03\/powerpoint-navigation-trick\/\">ENTER-ENTER <\/a>trick). We mentioned\u00a0using the Escape key (Esc) to exit the slide show (see the <a title=\"Read this posted article\" href=\"http:\/\/medianet-ny.com\/wordpress\/2009\/03\/powerpoint-loop-option\/\">LOOP Option<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>But here are some other goodies in the above Help Menu which may be useful for you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The <strong>B<\/strong> key\u00a0can be used as\u00a0a toggle (on\/off) to display a\u00a0<strong>BLACK<\/strong> screen. This is helpful if you need to temporarily &#8220;turn off&#8221; the presentation, perhaps to take a break, have a discussion or do an activity. Pressing B again re-displays the\u00a0image.<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>H<\/strong> key\u00a0reveals the next slide only if\u00a0that slide\u00a0is\u00a0<strong>HIDDEN<\/strong>.\u00a0 If the next slide is not marked as &#8220;hidden&#8221;, then the H key has no effect (you might hear a beep or ding). This is useful if you suddenly decide to show some support content that you normally would have skipped, but now feel the need to share. Of course, you have to know where these &#8220;hidden&#8221; slides are in your presentation.<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>Ctrl+S<\/strong> action (<em>holding down<\/em> the <strong>Control<\/strong> key <em>while<\/em> pressing the letter <strong>S<\/strong>) will display a <strong>list<\/strong> of all your slides. If you want to jump to a specific image<em> <\/em>you can scroll this list to find the slide you need. This feature is discussed in greater detail (see the\u00a0<a title=\"Read this posted article\" href=\"http:\/\/medianet-ny.com\/wordpress\/2009\/03\/powerpoint-list-slides-feature\/\">&#8220;List-Slides&#8221; Feature<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you already maximized the efficiency of your slide show viewing options (see Slide-Viewing Options) you can still display a\u00a0MENU of actions while running a PowerPoint presentation.
