PowerPoint: details for setting up a slide show presentation?
I am using PowerPoint in a MS Office XP set.
I have produced a slide show I want to use in a presentation, using a projector. The instructions to set it up - as stated in the " help" area - are supposed to be under the "Slide show" menu, after pressing the button " set up show". My version of PowerPoint, when in the " Slide show" mode, does not have any buttons carrying the label " set up show". Could someone give me the step-by-step details on how to set up the show? By the way, my presentation is in 3 days.

You don't want to be in Show mode -- as in View/Slide Show -- you want to go
to the *menu* that's named Slide Show. Click on that menu, and you should see an option for Set up Show somewhere on the list. (If you have the downward-pointing chevron at the bottom of the menu, click the chevron to show all the options on the menu.) Does that get you started? -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com "Carlos A." Carlos wrote in message ... I am using PowerPoint in a MS Office XP set.

I guess I was too set on the " View" button. http://www.echosvoice.com "Carlos A." Carlos wrote in message ... I am using PowerPoint in a MS Office XP set.
