A
"Polished" Finish
You've seen it hundreds of
times. You're in a workshop or meeting and the presenter, who's using
MS PowerPoint, gets to the end of their slide show.
What happens?
They click on the last slide
and poof!
On the screen is the
PowerPoint program window, the file menu, the standard toolbar and all.
Does something like this ring any bells? (Okay, so their screen had content
on the slide, but it's the same thing. You end up looking at the slideshow
in PowerPoint. That's not a very polished way to end your presentation!)
Now it's your turn
to present and you're looking for a way to avoid this ending. You're looking
for something that's just a bit more "polished."
How about a blank black slide?
Sounds good to me.
But do we really have to create a black slide at the end of each presentation?
Seems like a waste
of time to me too!
What if we could get
PowerPoint to automatically add that black slide to the end of all your
presentations?
I'd say it's just the thing
we're looking for.
Here's the scoop on PowerPoint's
black slide ending.
Start with the
Tools menu, Options choice, View
tab.
You're looking in
the Slide Show section for the "End with
black slide" option.
Make sure the check
box is selected and then click OK.
That's it. It couldn't
be any easier!
Now, whenever you
run your presentations, you can end with that "polished" look
you've been searching for!
