Depending on how it will be viewed, you can set up your slideshow to be presented in different ways:

  • Normal:  Advances when the presenter clicks the mouse or uses one of the presentation keyboard shortcuts (see Keyboard Shortcuts). Unless you specify otherwise, your slideshow works this way by default.

  • Hyperlinks only:  Changes slides only when the presenter (or viewer) clicks a hyperlink. For instructions, see Creating Hyperlinks-Only Presentations.

  • Recorded:  Plays like a movie using your prerecorded narration and timing. Viewers can pause the presentation. For instructions, see Recording a Voiceover Narration.

  • Self-playing:  Advances automatically, like a movie. No user interaction is possible. Self-playing presentations are useful, for example, in a kiosk setting. For instructions, see Creating Self-Playing Presentations.

To learn about general playback options you can set for your slideshow, see Setting Slideshow Playback Options.
