The Scenario
You have a large PowerPoint presentation that you will show to upper management next week. However, you also must do a smaller presentation to each of the department heads, showcasing only the information pertinent to each department. So, rather than create separate presentations for each department, you can simply create a basic custom show, selecting only the relevant slides for each department from the larger presentation.

Choose What Slides to Present for the Custom Show

Preview your larger presentation and make a note of the slides you wish to use in each of your smaller presentations -- the custom shows.
