How to Run PowerPoint
Microsoft Office PowerPoint lets you customize slide shows for any presentation. By default, slide shows are set to manually advance, allowing you to move from slide to slide at your own pace with your mouse or keypad. However, you can set PowerPoint to run slide shows automatically or advance to the next slide after a set time. Any transitions or sound effects that are included with the file will play.
