Take a break during a PowerPoint slide show
Here's an easy yet very useful tip for those who give presentations using PowerPoint slide show:
When you want to stop for a break in your presentation without losing your place in the slide show, just press the lowercase B key or press the PERIOD (.). This will make the screen go black, and if it is a self-running presentation, it will pause. When you are ready to resume the show, press either key again, and you will start right where you left off.
