Tip #248: Hide a PowerPoint Slide

Karen Phillips, Product Training Manager for Ultradent Products, introduced me to the fact that it is possible to hide a PowerPoint slide when you are tailoring a presentation. This way you don’t have to create an entirely new slide show.

Thank you, Karen, for saving all of us, who were unaware of this feature, a lot of time and energy in the future!

I’m intentionally keeping the December Tips very very short. However, last week’s Tip to tailor Power Point programs may have been so short it wasn’t helpful. It is possible to hide a PowerPoint slide that isn’t relevant to a specific new audience, rather than deleting them and creating variations of the same PowerPoint slide show. I didn’t go into HOW to do this, because I imagine it may be different for Macs versus PCs. On my Mac, I go to the drop down under Slide Show and one option under it is “Hide slide.”

I find this very convenient. Otherwise, it is very awkward to:

  • cherry pick which slides you want and which you don’t, and then
  • create an entirely new version of the PowerPoint presentation.

I have had to do this so often as I tailored new presentations to meet the needs of different clients. It is time consuming, to say the least.

If you have other tricks to use with PowerPoint slides, please book a call to share them with me. https://laurelandassociates.com/contact/

Next week, we look at easy-to-use e-learning software.
