Rehearse Timings

Proceed with rehearsal so that you can anticipate and adjust the slide show time and slide presentation time.

After rehearsing and then using the rehearsal time when performing a real slide show, you can run the presentation at the same speed as you practice.

Steps

To perform rehearse timings

Run Slide Show > Rehearse Timings.
Or click Rehearse Timings on the Slide Show tab.
When the slide show screen is displayed, the duration of the presentation appears in the Rehearse Timings toolbar.
Proceed with the presentation while recording the show progress time for each slide.
When the slide show is finished, you will be prompted to save the time it took for the slide show and its time.
Click Save to finish the show.
The slide sorter screen appears, showing the show progress time for each slide.
Also, the Use Timings check box appears selected on the Slide Show tab.
If you run Slide Show > Start Slide Show, the presentation starts with the saved rehearse timings applied.
