Is there a way in Microsoft powerpoint to end on your last slide?

A

I have a powerpoint presentation that I created and instaed of ending on the
black screen I just want it to stay on the last slide, should I just change
the number of seconds the slide is displayed for becuase it's all timed? I
just don't know how long it's going to need displayed for, any suggestions?

To get rid of the "End with black slide" option, click "Tools", "Options",
"View" TAB. If you are viewing a PPS file and the last slide has a timed
transition on it, it will simply close out. You could remove the slide
transition of the last slide and insert an Action Button (under "Autoshapes"
on the Drawing toolbar), and have it set to "End Show" (under "Hyperlink to"
dropdown). That way when the user is finished all they have to do is to
click the button (or press the ESC key) to exit the PPS file.

Hope this helps!

Right click on the last slide, select slide transition, checkmark the
advance slide "On Mouse Click" and remove the check mark from "After XX
seconds" The slide should stay on screen until you click the mouse. Is this
what your looking for?

2) click on options
3) click on the view tab
