The final step is to create slide transitions, so the presentation continues without help from you.

• Click Slide Show>Slide Transition and choose a transition that is not overly dramatic. (Hint: Try Fade Smoothly.)
• Click "Advance Slide Automatically after�" and change the timing to 4 seconds. (Note: If slides contain a considerable amount of text, you might want to lengthen that time.) Click Apply to All Slides.
• Save your work.

To set up the slide show to run by itself,

• Click Slide Show>Set Up Show.
• Click Browsed at a kiosk (Full Screen).
• Click OK.
  

Test your special event PowerPoint show by pressing F4 (on a PC only) or by clicking Slide Show>View Show. Slides should transition automatically, and the presentation should start over again when it reaches the end.

You're now ready to present your slide show at your next special school event. A classroom computer will work just fine for displaying your show, giving parents something to look at while you're speaking to other visitors.
