Manual Control

Another option for interacting with your show is to enable the Manual
Control option. This option automatically pauses the slide at the end and
waits for your input.

This feature is more specifically designed for giving presentations or
creating shows which your user interacts with more than the Action at End
of Slide option.

You can find the Manual Control option in the Slide Timing pane under
the Slide Settings tab for your slide. Simply check the box to enable the
option. The slide will now pause once you reach the end. You can continue
playing the show by selecting play or use any of the other interactive keys
such as skipping slides and more.

You can find a full list of the playback tools you can use with manual control
in Chapter 27, Preferences. Also note that when you click Configure
Controls you are taken to the Preferences window where you can see
what controls are available and change which keys they are bound to.

There’s also a shortcut to enable Manual Control on slides. Each slide
thumbnail in the Slide List has a small play icon which appears in blue
beneath the slide name. If you click on the play icon it turns into a red
pause icon. When you see the red pause, you know Manual Control is
enabled for the slide.
