PowerPoint provides convenient tools you can use while presenting your slide show. For example, you can change your mouse pointer to a pen or highlighter to draw attention to items in your slides. In addition, you can jump around to slides in your presentation or access other programs from your taskbar if needed.
To show the taskbar:
Sometimes you may need to access the Internet or other files and programs on your computer during your presentation. PowerPoint allows you to access your taskbar without ending the presentation.
- Locate and select the Slide Options button in the bottom-left corner.
- Select Screen, then click Show Taskbar.
- Your taskbar will appear. Choose a program you want to open, like a web browser. When you’re done, close the window or click the PowerPoint icon on the taskbar to return to the presentation.
