7. UNIQUE FEATURES OF POWER POINT: There were a few Power Point features which required the designers of the programs to offer alternatives.
​
a. If a slide containing a video fails to advance click on the arrow in the red box to start the video or on the arrow in the dialogue box at the bottom of the clip.
​
b. Some slides may not automatically advance at the end of an embedded video in which case the slide must be advanced manually. Right click the mouse outside the video pane and select “next slide”. You may also push the right arrow on your keyboard.
c. Due to the size of some files, it may take as much as 15 seconds to load a given Power Point file.
d. Once you are in Power Point select “Slide Show” then “From the beginning” to start the program.
e. If a yellow ribbon appears below the menu bar, after loading Power Point, which contains the words “enable edit” or “enable content”, click on each to allow for viewing.
