Chapter at a Glance
16 16 Delivering a Delivering a Presentation Presentation Electronically ElectronicallyIn this chapter, you will learn to:
Adapt a presentation for different audiences.
Rehearse a presentation.
Prepare speaker notes and handouts.
Prepare a presentation for travel.
Show a presentation.
The goal of all the effort involved in creating a presentation is to be able to effectively
deliver it to a specifi c audience. With Microsoft Offi ce PowerPoint 2007, you can easily de-
liver a presentation from your computer as an electronic slide show. In Slide Show view,
instead of the slide appearing in a presentation window within the PowerPoint program
window, the slide occupies the entire screen.
Before you can deliver a presentation, you need to perform several tasks to ensure its
success. You can hide individual slides to adapt the presentation for a specifi c audience,
or if you know that you will be giving variations of the same presentation to different
audiences, you can save a set of slides as a separate presentation that you will show only
if appropriate. You can tailor the speed at which slides appear, to appropriately fi t your
presentation to the allotted time. To support your delivery of the presentation, you can
prepare speaker notes, and to help your audience retain your message, you can prepare
handouts. Finally, if you are delivering the presentation at a remote location, you will want
to use the Package For CD feature to ensure that you take all the necessary fi les with you.
When you deliver a slide show from your computer, you navigate through slides by
clicking the mouse button or by pressing the arrow keys. You can move forward and
backward one slide at a time, and you can jump to specifi c slides as the needs of your
441
442 Chapter 16 Delivering a Presentation Electronically
audience dictate. During the slide show, you can mark up slides with an on-screen pen or
highlighter to emphasize a point.
In this chapter, you will adapt a presentation for two audiences, fi rst by creating a cus-
tom slide show, and then by hiding a slide. You will apply slide timings to a presentation,
rehearse it, and have PowerPoint set the timings for you. You will enter speaker notes
in both the Notes pane and in Notes Page view, customize the Notes master, and print
speaker notes and handouts. Then you will save a presentation package on a CD and run
it from the CD by using the presentation viewer that comes with PowerPoint. Finally, you
will deliver a presentation and mark up slides while showing them.

Important Before you can use the practice fi les in this chapter, you need to install them
from the book’s companion CD to their default location. See “Using the Book’s CD” at the

Readers Running Windows XP” section at the beginning of this book.
Adapting a Presentation for Different AudiencesIf you plan to deliver variations of the same presentation to different audiences, you
should prepare a single presentation containing all the slides you are likely to need for
all the audiences. Then you can select slides from the presentation that are appropriate
for a particular audience and group them as a custom slide show. When you need to
deliver the presentation for that audience, you open the main presentation and show
the subset of slides by choosing the custom slide show from a list.
For example, suppose you need to pitch an idea for a new product or service to both a
team of project managers and a company’s executive team. Many of the slides would
be the same for both groups, but the presentation to the executive team would include
more in-depth competitive and fi nancial analysis. You would develop the executive
team’s presentation fi rst and then create a custom slide show for the project managers
by using a subset of the slides in the executive presentation.

Adapting a Presentation for Different Audiences 443
Sometimes you might want to be able to make an on-the-spot decision during a pre-
sentation about whether to display a particular slide. You can give yourself this fl exibility
by hiding the slide so that you can skip over it if its information doesn’t seem useful to a
particular audience. If you decide to include the slide’s information in the presentation,
you can display it by pressing the letter H or by using the Go To Slide command.
In this exercise, you will select slides from an existing presentation to create a custom
slide show for a different audience. You will also hide a slide and then see how to display
it when necessary.

Rehearsing a PresentationWhen delivering a slide show, you can move from slide to slide in the following ways:
Manually. You control when you move by clicking the mouse button, pressing
keys, or clicking commands.
Automatically. PowerPoint displays each slide for a predefi ned length of time and
then displays the next slide.
Slide ShowSlide Show
446 Chapter 16 Delivering a Presentation Electronically
The length of time a slide appears on the screen is controlled by its slide timing. By
default slide timings are divided equally among the animations for each slide. So if a
slide has a title and four bullet points that are all animated and you assign a timing of 1
minute to the slide, the fi ve elements will appear at 12-second intervals.
To apply a timing to a single slide, to a group of slides, or to an entire presentation, you
fi rst select the slides, and then under Advance Slide in the Transition To This Slide group
on the Animations tab, select the Automatically After check box and enter the number of
minutes and/or seconds you want each slide to remain on the screen.
Tip If you are delivering the presentation in Slide Show view and want to prevent PowerPoint
from advancing to the slide according to a slide timing, press the letter S on your keyboard,
or right-click the current slide and click Pause. To continue the presentation, press the letter S
again, or right-click the slide and click Resume.
If you don’t know how much time to allow for the slide timings of a presentation, you
can rehearse the slide show while PowerPoint automatically tracks and sets the timings
for you, refl ecting the amount of time you spend on each slide during the rehearsal.
During the slide show, PowerPoint displays each slide for the length of time you indi-
cated during the rehearsal. In this way, you can synchronize an automatic slide show
with a live narration or demonstration.
In this exercise, you will set the timing for one slide and then apply it to an entire pre-
sentation. Then you will rehearse the presentation and have PowerPoint set slide timings
according to the amount of time you display each slide during the rehearsal.
USE the 02_Rehearsing presentation. This practice fi le is located in the Chapter16 subfolder
under SBS_Offi ce2007.
OPEN the 02_Rehearsing presentation.
1. On the Animations tab, in the Transition to This Slide group, under Advance Slide, select the Automatically After check box, and then type or select 00:03.
Because both check boxes under Advance Slide are selected, the slide will advance
either after three seconds or when you click the mouse button.
2. On the View toolbar, click the Slide Show button.
Slide 1 is displayed for three seconds, and then PowerPoint moves to Slide 2.
3. Press P to end the show, and then on the View toolbar, click the Slide Sorter button.

The slide timing you applied to Slide 1 is now applied to all the slides.
Important When you click Apply To All, all the transition effects applied to the cur-
rent slide are transferred to the other slides. If you have applied different transitions
to different slides, those individually specifi ed transitions are overwritten. So it’s a
good idea to apply all the effects that you want the slides to have in common fi rst.
Then you can select individual slides and customize their effects.

Preparing Speaker Notes and HandoutsIf you will be delivering your presentation before a live audience, you will probably
need some speaker notes to guide you. Each slide in a PowerPoint presentation has a
corresponding notes page. As you create each slide, you can enter notes that relate to
the slide’s content by simply clicking the Notes pane and typing. If you want to include
something other than text in your speaker notes, you must switch to Notes Page view by
clicking the Notes Page button in the Presentation Views group on the View tab. When
your notes are complete, you can print them so that they are readily available to guide
the presentation.
As a courtesy for your audience, you might want to supply handouts showing the pre-
sentation’s slides so that people can take notes. You don’t need to do anything special to
create handouts. Printing them requires a few simple decisions, such as how many slides
you want to appear on each page.
Notes and handouts have their own masters, and you can customize them by using
the same techniques you use to customize slide masters. Usually, you will fi nd that the
default masters are more than adequate, but if you want to make changes, you click
Notes Master or Handout Master in the Presentation Views group on the View tab to
display the respective masters.
In this exercise, you will enter speaker notes for a couple of slides in the Notes pane. You
will then switch to Notes Page view, insert a graphic in one note and a table in another,
customize the Notes master, and then print speaker notes and handouts.
USE the 03_NotesHandouts presentation and the 03_YinYang graphic. These practice fi les
are located in the Chapter16 subfolder under SBS_Offi ce2007.

it, you will have all the fonts, linked objects, and other components of the presentation
available when the lights go down and you launch your fi rst slide. However, if you will
deliver your presentation from a different computer, you need to make sure the fonts,
linked objects, and any other necessary items are available.
With PowerPoint 2007, you can use the Package for CD feature to help you gather all
the presentation components and save them to a CD or other type of removable media
so that they can be transported to a different computer. Linked fi les are included in the
presentation package by default. TrueType fonts are stored with the presentation if you
select the Embedded TrueType Fonts option while creating the package. (When you in-
clude embedded fonts, the fi le size increases signifi cantly.)
Tip You can embed fonts when you package a presentation, or you can do it when you
fi rst save the presentation. In the Save As dialog box , click Tools, click Save Options, and on
the Save page, select the Embed Fonts In The File check box. Then select the Embed Only
The Characters Used In The Presentation option to embed only the characters in the font
set that are actually used, or select the Embed All Characters option to embed the entire
font set.
When you use Package For CD, by default the presentation will be set up to run auto-
matically in the Microsoft Offi ce PowerPoint Viewer. You can then send the CD contain-
ing the presentation package to people who do not have PowerPoint installed on their
computers, and they will be able to view the presentation in the PowerPoint Viewer.
In this exercise, you will use Package For CD to create a presentation package on a CD.
You will then run the presentation using the PowerPoint Viewer.
USE the 04_Travel presentation. This practice fi le is located in the Chapter16 subfolder
under SBS_PowerPoint 2007.
BE SURE TO have a blank CD available. If your computer does not have a CD burner, you
can follow along with the exercise but you will not be able to complete Steps 9 through 17.
OPEN the 04_Travel presentation.
1. Click the Microsoft Offi ce Button, click Save As, and then save the current pre-
sentation in the Chapter16 subfolder under SBS_Offi ce2007, with the name My Organization 101.

Selecting the Viewer Package option includes the PowerPoint Viewer. If you select
the Archive Package option, the package contains only the presentation.
7. Under Include these fi les, select the Embedded TrueType fonts check box, and
then click OK.
Important Be sure to select the Embedded TrueType Fonts check box if a presenta-
tion includes fonts that don’t come with the version of Microsoft Windows running on
the presentation computer or the 2007 Microsoft Offi ce system programs. Then the
presentation will look the same on a computer on which the fonts aren’t installed as it
does on your computer.
8. Insert a blank CD in your CD burner, and then click Copy to CD.
If your computer does not have a CD burner, click Copy To Folder instead, and then
select the folder in which you want to store the package.
Tip PowerPoint 2007 does not support the direct burning of content to a DVD. If you
prefer to burn to a DVD rather than a CD, fi rst copy your presentation to a folder on
your computer, and then use DVD-burning software to create the DVD.
9. When PowerPoint asks you to verify that you want to include linked content,
click Yes.
10. When you see a message that the copy operation was successful, click No to indicate
that you don’t want to copy the same package to another CD.
11. Click Close to close the Package for CD dialog box.
12. At the right end of the title bar, click the Close button to close the presentation and
quit PowerPoint.
13. Remove the CD from your CD burner, and then re-insert it.
Troubleshooting If you are running the package from your computer, navigate to
the folder where the package is stored, and double-click the Organization folder (the
name you assigned in Step 4). Then double-click PPTVIEW to start the Presentation
Viewer.
After a few seconds, the PowerPoint Viewer starts. The fi rst time you run this
program, you need to click Accept to accept the terms of the program’s license
agreement. Then a dialog box opens in which you can select the presentation

Showing a PresentationTo start a slide show from Normal or Slide Sorter view, you click the Slide Show button
to display the current slide full screen. Then the simplest way to move linearly from one
slide to the next is to click the mouse button without moving the mouse. But you can
also move around by using the keyboard:
To move to the next slide, press the Spacebar, the Down Arrow key, or the Right
Arrow key.
To move to the previous slide, press the Page Up key or the Left Arrow key.
To end the presentation, press the Esc key.
If you need to move to a slide other than the next one or the previous one, you can
move the mouse pointer to display an inconspicuous toolbar in the lower-left corner
of the slide. You can use this toolbar in the following ways:
To move to the next slide, click the Next button.
To move to the previous slide, click the Previous button.
To jump to a slide out of sequence (even if it is hidden), click the Navigation button,
click Go To Slide, and then click the slide.
To display the slides in a custom slide show, click the Navigation button, click
Custom Show, and then click the show.
To display a list of keyboard shortcuts for carrying out slide show tasks click the
Navigation button, and then click Help . For example, you can press the H key to
show the next hidden slide, press the E key to erase pen annotations, or press the A
key to show the pointer arrow.
To end the presentation, click the Navigation button, and then click End Show.
Tip You can also display the Navigation button’s menu by right-clicking the slide.
During a presentation, you can reinforce your message by drawing on the slides with
an electronic “pen” or changing the background behind text with a highlighter. You
simply click the Pen button on the toolbar that appears when you move the mouse,
click the tool you want, and then begin drawing or highlighting. You can change the
pen or highlighter color to make it stand out on the slide by clicking the Pen button,
clicking Ink Color, and then selecting the color you want.
In this exercise, you will move around in various ways while delivering a presentation.
You’ll also use a pen tool to mark up one slide, change the color, and mark up another.

Key Points 463
Key Points When you don’t want to include all the slides in a presentation for a particular au-
dience, you can use a subset of the slides to create a custom slide show. You can
also hide slides and then display them only if appropriate.
You can assign timings to slides manually, or you can rehearse the presentation
and record the slide timings from the rehearsal. The presentation automatically
advances from one slide to the next have the specifi ed time has elapsed.
You can easily create speaker notes to ensure a smooth delivery or print handouts
to ensure that your audience can easily follow along with your presentation.
To run the presentation on a computer other than the one you developed the
presentation on, you can create a presentation package. Including the PowerPoint
Viewer in the package enables the presentation can run on a computer on which
PowerPoint is not installed.
Knowing how to use all the toolbar buttons, commands, and keyboard shortcuts to
navigate in Slide Show view will ensure a smoother presentation delivery.
To emphasize a point, you can mark up slides during a slide show by using different
pen tools and different colors. You can save or discard these annotations.
