Use more than one master in a presentation

You can use multiple masters in a presentation if you have PowerPoint 2002 (XP) or higher. And amazingly, presentations with multiple masters will play back correctly in PowerPoint 97 and 2000, though you can't edit the templates/multiple masters.

If you want to give the appearance of multiple masters in PowerPoint 2000 and earlier, you have to think slightly outside the PowerPoint box - and outside the presentation itself. Think: LINK.

Have a look at the small sample presentations in PRESDEMO.ZIP to see how all this works together.

The key points to remember are:

Set the presentation to run in KIOSK mode

Use action buttons or graphics that you draw/import to control the action. Draw/import navigation icons and assign suitable hyperlink actions to them to let the viewer control the show.

Tip: If a particular navigation icon will appear on every slide in the presentation, put it on the Slide Master. That way it'll automatically appear on every slide.
