2. 2 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.
