But
what if my presentation has lots of text information?
People read at different speeds. How can an automatic
slide show handle that? |  |
|
 |
Or
what if I'm doing an automatic presentation of my jokes? I
need to give space for people to laugh. But I never know
how long people will laugh. Audiences are fickle. |
|
Simple!
I offer a feature that allows the viewer to advance the
slides at their own pace. |
|
Wow!
How empowering! Power to the people! |

I
like this adding buttons thing. But how do you do it? I'm
not a computer programmer. Although with the salaries they
make, it's certainly a good career move. |
|
With
me helping you out, you don't need to be a techno-geek!
Adding buttons is as easy as a few clicks. |

Adding your own buttons
When you set up a viewer-run show, the viewer must move
through the slides by clicking the mouse or using the
keyboard. However, not all viewers will know how to
advance slides this way.
Make your presentation easier to view by adding action
buttons. When you add an action button to a slide, you
give the viewer an obvious place to click the mouse.
The following steps show you how to add a Forward
action button to your slides. When viewers click the
Forward button they will advance to the next slide.
1. In Slide Show View, display the slide you want
to add the action button to.
2. Click the Slide Show menu, point to
Action Buttons, then click the Forward Action
button. The pointer changes into a cross.
3. Click on the slide and drag, until the action
button is the size you want. The Action settings dialog
box will appear.
4. Notice the option next to Hyperlink to
Next Slide is already selected. Click OK to close the
Action Settings dialog box.

Note: The
Forward action button advances slides, but it does not
start animations. If you have animations in a viewer-run
show, set a timing for the animation with these steps:
Open the Custom Animation dialog box. Click the
Timings tab, then select the option to Animate
Automatically.
Experiment on your own with adding other action buttons
to your slides. For instance, try adding the Beginning
action button to the last slide of your presentation. When
viewers click this button, they will return to the first
slide in the show.
