The slides are finished. The slide show's done. Now you have to get yourself ready to make the presentation. Unless you're playing a self-running show, you and the way you interact with your slide show ultimately determine how successful the presentation will be.

This chapter looks at the ways to set up and play a show. It also explores ways to rehearse and plan for unforeseen technical difficulties.
