Set Presentation Preferences

Presentation Preferences are different than Present User Preferences.

Presentation Preferences enable you to customize the look and feel of your presentations, toolbar visibility, exhibit behavior, hotkeys, and much more.

To open Presentation Preferences, do one of the following:

From Presentation mode, click the Presentation menu button (far left), and then click Preferences.
From the Preview window, click the Open Presentation Preferences button.

Spend some time viewing the available options before you plan your next presentation. As you do this, click to expand or collapse groups of options as needed, and expand the Information text to learn more about specific options.

The following table lists some of the commonly used settings and where to locate them in Presentation Preferences.
