PowerPoint provides a relatively easy way to create custom slide shows that remain within the original slide show. Essentially, you select the slides to include from the master slide show, and then you play just the custom slide show. If you want to explore this feature, you can do so by choosing Slide Show, Custom Shows. Custom shows can help you quickly create a subset of a slide show, but it's not the end-all answer for customizing a presentation to a particular audience. In particular, you can't modify many of your customized slide controls in a custom show. If you need greater customizing control over a slide show, you can create a new slide show and import the slides you need from the original slide show. Then you can fine-tune the second slide show, including links, transitions, timing, and so on.
For details on importing slides from another slide show, see p. 78.
