Even a great PowerPoint presentation can fall short at the time

presentations.
=====================================================
1. Are You Using a Presentation Remote Control?
=====================================================
A top complaint from audience members is that many presenters
put too much emphasis on PowerPoint and technology while
neglecting the message and interaction with participants. One
way to deliver more effective presentations with greater
connection to your audience is to add a remote control to your
presentation tools.
Find out why adding one more piece of technology can actually
switch your focus from PowerPoint to your audience >>

2. Keyboard Shortcuts for PowerPoint Slide Shows
=====================================================
Whether you use a mouse or a remote to navigate through a
PowerPoint slide show presentation, it is also good to know
some handy keyboard shortcuts. Here is a selection to try >>
Run a slide show: [F5]
Advance to the next slide (any of these): [Right], [Down], N
(for Next), [Spacebar], [Page Down] (or click the left mouse)
Return to the previous slide (any of these): [Left], [Up], P
(for Previous), [Backspace], [Page Up]
Go to specific slide number: type slide number and press [Enter]
Display a black screen or go back to slide show: B or [Period]
End a slide show: [Esc]
Hide the mouse pointer: [Ctrl] + H
Activate the mouse pointer/arrow: [Ctrl] + A
Help during slide show (displays these and other keyboard
shortcuts): [F1]
Note: you can also right-click anywhere on the slide show
screen for a shortcut menu with many of these same actions.
