Custom PowerPoint Slide Shows

Solution:

Suppose you have to go on the road with a slide show. The show is basically for all the sites you will visit, but site 1 needs to see one group of slides and site 2, a slightly different group. You don't have to create two or more slide shows. Just use PowerPoint's custom slide show feature.
Run PowerPoint and open a blank slide. Create three or four new slides and Insert/Picture/ClipArt to place a ClipArt picture on each of the new slides to help you see what is happening. In slide view, choose Slide Show/Custom Shows. When the Custom Shows dialog box opens, click New. Type in a name for your new custom show (anything you want).

You'll see the slides in your new show listed under "Slides in presentation." Let's suppose that you created a show with four slides. Click Slide 1 and then hold down Ctrl while you click Slide 3. After you select the slides you want in your custom show, click Add. Now click OK to close the dialog box and apply your selections. Back in Custom Shows, click Close to close the dialog box.

To start your custom presentation. Choose Slide Show, Custom Shows. When the Custom Shows dialog box opens, select the custom show you just created and click Show. PowerPoint will run the slide show using only the slides that you added to the custom show. When you choose Slide Show, View Show, PowerPoint will display all the slides in your original show. And, of course, you can create more than one custom slide show.
