PowerPoint shows have a nasty habit of starting automatically and going clear
through until the end without stopping, unless you do something to stop it. There’ll
be many times when I’ll want you to pause the presentation, minimize it, then do
something like practice pausing and resuming the tutorial. If you get into trouble
and want to review the instructions again, you’ll want to bring the presentation back
up and go backward a slide or two to see where you went wrong, then go back and
finish what you were doing, and finally start the presentation again. So let me show
you how to do all that. By the way, you can use these techniques on those
PowerPoint presentations that you constantly get in your emails also.

There are a couple of
different ways to pause a
presentation. One way is
to right-click anywhere on
the presentation.
You will learn:
Pause the tutorial to practice the skill
Then click on “Pause” in
the box that comes up.

After you pause the presentation, you will need a way to
get out of the presentation so
that you can do what I ask you
to do.

This brings up all of the programs
that you have running at the bottom
of the screen (except the Power
Point show . . . go figure).
I want you to bring up the “Reunion
Map PDF” file. If you don’t have
that minimized at the bottom in the
task bar, then click on anything just
to bring something up.
6 For now, all you need to prove is
your ability to open another file
while the Tutorial is running, so go
ahead and click on the minus at the
top right to minamize the PDF file
back to the task bar.

There! You’re back into the presentation all safe and sound.

The only thing left to do is to rightclick again on the presentation.

You want to give it a spin?
If everything goes haywire and you find yourself on the
wrong slide in the presentation or you can’t get it to
pause or whatever, just right-click the presentation and
go to “End Show”. That’ll get you out of it entirely.
Then go back to the SlideShow icon on your desktop
and double click on it again and it’ll bring you to Slide
1.
So how’d you do?
I would like for you to bring up the Reunion Map PDF,
but if it’s not among the files at the bottom of your
screen, bring up anything. If you have the Internet
Explorer icon near the “Start” button, bring it up. OK
right-click on the presentation and you should be able to
remember the rest.

Two bullet points down, and one to go; how to navigate
to various slides that you want to review.

keyboard to Pause the tutorial, then
press the “S” again to Resume.
Another way of getting to another slide
is to right-click to bring up our familiar
box, and click on “Go to Slide”.
If you want to go to another slide, say
Slide 3, simply hit the number 3, then
“Enter”.
Then simply click on the slide that you
want to go to.
