Take a Break During a Slide Show

A useful PowerPoint tip for those who give presentations

If you want to stop for a break in your slide show presentation without losing your place, just press the lowercase B key or press the PERIOD (.). This will make the screen go black.

If it is a self-running presentation, it will pause.

To resume the show, press either key again, and it resume right where you left off.
