How to Create an Agenda Slide to Organize a PowerPoint Presentation

An agenda slide is especially helpful with large presentations that contain multiple sections. You can divide your presentation into mini slide shows, then create an agenda slide to manage these multiple slide shows. The agenda slide in Microsoft PowerPoint 98 and PowerPoint 2000 contains hyperlinks to the various sections (slide shows). When you click on one of the hyperlinked topics, that slide show runs, then returns to the agenda slide so you can continue your presentation.
