Add comments during your presentations
If you have a Tablet PC computer, you can use
your pen input device to add free-form notes
and annotations to your slides while you give
a presentation. The Tablet PC pen input device
allows you to draw on your computer screen,
and your drawings are enhanced with colorful
lines that look like they are part of the slides.
When you view your presentation in Slide Show
mode, you can tap the pen symbol with your pen
input device to see the options available while
working with ink during your presentation. Options
include selecting a pen type, which changes the
width and shape of the displayed ink, and changing
the color of the ink itself.
After ink is turned on while you are in Slide Show
mode, you can draw freely on your computer screen,
and those drawings are immediately visible to viewers.
You can also change colors or pen type during your
presentation.
1 Click the Slide Show tab.
2 Click From Beginning.
The presentation opens in Slide
Show mode.
3 Display the first slide to which
you want to add comments.
4 With your pen input device, tap
the Pen icon.
The content menu
appears.
5 Tap the pen type you
want to use.

to annotate the slides as desired.
More Options!
When you have finished delivering your presentation,
you can save the ink with the slides or discard the ink
on the slides.
Did You Know?
Ink that you save with your slides is visible to all
viewers of your presentation, including those who do
not use a Tablet PC. It also prints on your slides by
default.
Try This!
You can choose the primary ink color for a
presentation before you enter Slide Show mode. Click
Slide Show and then Set Up Slide Show. In the Set
Up Show dialog box, use the Pen Color list to click
the color you want to use, and then click OK.
