# Showing a slideshow

### Before the show

First make sure that all the slides you want to show are enabled and all the ones you want to omit are disabled.

Now click one of the 'Start slideshow' buttons.

### During the show

During the show you may display or hide the caption of the current slide by pressing the TAB key.

You can pause and restart the show by pressing the SPACE bar or by pressing the MIDDLE button on the mouse.

While the show is paused you can drag the image round the screen using the LEFT hand mouse button and you can zoom in and out using the mouse WHEEL

It is also possible to interrupt the show in order to rename a slide by pressing F9 (function key 9). This is so that if a member of your audience tells you what something is, you can instantly record the information. Note that renaming a slide will also update the caption automatically.

(Note that these features do not apply when a movie is being played.)

### Finishing the show

It is best to put a blank slide at the very end of your show and tick the 'Pause' checkbox. Faced with a blank screen your audience will have nothing better to do than turn and congratulate you!

You can exit the show at any time by pressing the ESCAPE key.
