PowerPoint: Black Outs & White Outs

Sometimes when presenting a PowerPoint, you want the attention on you as the speaker instead of the slideshow.  Here are two tips for those occasions:

• To black out your screen (for breaks, lunch, etc) select the letter B; select B again to return to your slideshow
• To white out your screen select the letter W; select W again to return to your slideshow

It is customary to use the black screen during breaks and the white screen when you want the attention directed elsewhere but plan to return to the slideshow momentarily.
