Display hidden slides during a presentation
You can include slides in your presentation that do not
print in handouts or appear in presentations unless
you specifically bring them up. These slides are
called hidden slides, and they can be very useful
when you have material that you may need to
present, but you are not sure.
For example, if you are presenting a complex or
detailed subject, you may be uncertain how well
audience members will respond to the material.
You may wonder whether they will have additional
questions or whether the basic material will be enough
for them. In this case, you can include slides in your
presentation that are ready for use, but only if you
deliberately go to them during your presentation.
Similarly, you can use hidden slides when you have a
time limit and are not sure whether you can complete
all slides during a given time period.
When you give your presentation, the hidden slides
are omitted unless you use Go To Slide to advance
to a hidden slide.

Did You Know?
When you use Go to Slide during a presentation,
hidden slides are shown with the slide number in
parentheses. For example, a non-hidden slide might
appear as 2 Agenda, and a hidden slide might appear
as (2) Agenda.
