INTRODUCTION

You can pull together several slides from within your presentation to create a custom show. For example, you may need to show all your slides to a management team, but leave out a few confidential slides to show the rest of the department. You can create numerous custom shows within your main slide show.

CAUTION

Warning!

If you make changes to the slides in the original presentation, the changes also appear in the slides of the custom show.
