do I need a fancy projector to be able to freeze my presentation midway thru, or can I use CTRL + something?

RE: PowerPoint

Hi David

Thanks for your question. The Freeze screen feature is part of the projector rather than Microsoft Project.

Pressing the letter B or W will set MS Project to display either a Black screen or a White screen but it won't let you then use the computer without your audience seeing the image on the screen.

One alternative might be to present from a machine that supports two monitors, one of which will be the projector. In this case you can run the presentation on the projector and work using the other screen without interrupting your presentation.

I hope this helps - do let us know if you have any further questions.

Powerpoint tip:

Display pictures inside shapes

Here is a suggestion for adding a professional touch to your presentations: displaying pictures within shapes. This can look particularly good if you use pictures within circles or stars.

To create this effect, draw a shape on your slide from the Drawing toolbar.

Click on the Fill Color button found on the Draw Toolbar usually found at the bottom of the screen; or alternatively right-click on the shape and select 'Format Autoshape'.

Select the Fill Effects option then the Picture tab. Use the 'Select picture' button to find the picture on your computer, then click Insert. Selecting the 'Lock picture aspect ratio' helps to keep the picture in proportion.
