PowerPoint offers several types of slide
shows appropriate for a variety of presentation situations, from a
traditional big-screen slide show to a show that runs automatically on
a computer screen at a conference kiosk. When you don’t want to show
all of the slides in a PowerPoint presentation to a particular
audience, you can specify a custom show or only a range of slides to
show. You can also set show options to run continuously or without
narration or animation, and change the pen or laser pointer (New!) color.

The quality of a display system depends on its
screen resolution, how many pixels it can display, and how many bits
are used to represent each pixel. The screen resolution signifies the
number of dots (pixels) on the entire screen. A higher screen
resolution, such as 1024 by 768, makes items appear smaller, while a
lower screen resolution, such as 640 by 480, makes items appear larger,
which can help make a slide show easier to view.
