Giving a Live Presentation
Benefits of giving a live presentation:
- You can adapt your script to the audience.
- You can answer questions and clarify your points immediately.
Starting the Presentation

Moving Between Slides
- There are three options for moving forward in the presentation: Click the left mouse button, press Enter, or press the right arrow key.
- To move backwards in the presentation, press the Backspace key or press the left arrow key.
Tip

- Right click on the slide. A menu appears.

- Select Pause.
- Right click on the slide again when you are ready to resume. A menu appears.
