============================


MasterView readers, welcome back. You saw in the past issue how to create a template and how to deal with the look of your presentation; you are now going to explore what you should do once your presentation is ready and you want to run it in a professional way.

We will see first how you can set the timing in your presentation so it can safely run unattended or in an endless loop.

You will learn what is important to know about keyboard controls and you will discover useful tricks that can help you run the show smoothly.

You will also discover how PowerPoint will let you hide specific slides while creating a custom show.

Step-by-step, I will demonstrate to you how to use hyperlinks and action settings in PowerPoint to be able to better manage your slide show navigation. You will see the importance of a "Web-style" presentation, where you can jump from one slide to any other without worrying about the order of the slides.

Finally, we are sharing with you some unique power tips about opening and closing your PowerPoint presentation. Through these, you will be able to effectively choreograph two of the most memorable parts of an effective presentation:
1) the opening
2) the grand finale

It looks like a very rich issue, with a lot of power tips and valuable techniques. Follow me from the very beginning and you will be able to run and manage your presentation like a real "pro".
