The vast majority of PowerPoint presentations are designed to be played as a slideshow. Given all of PowerPoint 2010's advanced features, it's no surprise that many features connected to operating the slideshow have also been incorporated in this program. The majority of these features are designed to assist you in creating a good slideshow without having to re-create the complete presentation after every slight update. Under the Slideshow ribbon, you'll find features relevant to operating the slideshow.
