SUMMARY

Slide Shows in PowerPoint for Windows 95 version 7.0 is different from Slide Shows in PowerPoint 4.0 for Windows. The "More Information" section of this article contains a summary of some of the major differences you may encounter.

MORE INFORMATION

  1. The On-Screen Annotation and Hidden Slide buttons no longer appear in PowerPoint for Windows 95 version 7.0. This change was made because many thought that the buttons' on screen presence was a distraction from the presentation being shown.
  2. In PowerPoint 4.0, if you show a hidden slide, proceed to the next slide, and then go back to the previous slide, the slide preceding the hidden slide is displayed. In PowerPoint for Windows 95 version 7.0 this has been changed so that the hidden slide is displayed instead.
  3. In PowerPoint 4.0, you were limited to placing builds on body text only. In PowerPoint for Windows 95 version 7.0, animation effects can be placed on any object or objects, including text, text objects, OLE objects, and sounds. If you choose to make more than one object build per slide, you can actually choose the order in which they are built.
  4. In PowerPoint for Windows 95 version 7.0, you can utilize the new Interactive Setting dialog box, which replaces the Play Settings dialog in PowerPoint 4.0. You can set options including when the object is to become active, and whether it should hide itself or not.
  5. In a PowerPoint 4.0 or PowerPoint for Windows 95 slide show you can use the N key, followed by a number, to branch to a specific slide. If you branch from a slide with animation effects, and then return to the original slide, the animation effects play a second time. In PowerPoint for Windows 95, you have the choice to use the Slide Navigator to jump to certain slides and back again without the builds playing over again.
