Most of U are aware that
PowerPoint can display a blank black slide at the end of the presentation.
An undocumented feature of PowerPoint lets U display a black (or
white) slide, any time, during the course of your show.
During the course of a presentation,
someone will ask a question that's unrelated to the slide onscreen. When
this happens, U want to focus attention on the question at hand, not
on the slide. Or, U might be ready to break for lunch/tea etc,
however U didn't plan for this in your presentation. In these situations,
all U need to do is display a black (or white) screen. Doing so gives
the impression that you've pulled up a blank slide for the occasion.
U can blank the screen during a
slide show with one simple keystroke. To display a black screen, press the
B key. If you would rather display a white screen, simply
press the W key. When you press the B or
W key a second time, the slide show picks up where you
left off: the slide that was displayed when you blanked the screen.
