Setting Slide Show Options

The Options button lets you choose overall options that affect all slides in the presentation. Click the button to open the Slideshow Options dialog box.

Show Pointer

Shows or hides the pointer. You can choose from several pointer images.

Next Slide Ready

Each time Designer displays a slide, it is preparing the next slide to display. If you have complex drawings on a slide, it may not be ready to display when you go to that slide.

Designer can alert you when the next slide is ready by displaying a small arrow in the lower right corner, by making an audible sound, or by giving both signals.

Global Overrides

The Automatic Advancement option overrides any automatic advancement settings you made on the ribbon or in the Transition Effects dialog box.

Select Loop Slide Show to set the slide show so that it repeats until interrupted manually. (The default is to run the show once.)

Use the Change Transitions option if you are creating a standalone slide show to take to another computer. This allows you to adjust the transition speed for all the slides at once.
