PowerPoint: details for setting up a slide show presentation?

[Guest]

I am using PowerPoint in a MS Office XP set.
I have produced a slide show I want to use in a presentation, using a
projector.
The instructions to set it up - as stated in the " help" area - are
supposed to be under the "Slide show" menu, after pressing the button " set
up show".
My version of PowerPoint, when in the " Slide show" mode, does not have any
buttons carrying the label " set up show".

Could someone give me the step-by-step details on how to set up the show?
By the way, my presentation is in 3 days.

Don't put the presentation IN Slide Show mode, choose Slide Show from the main
menu bar then pick Set Up Show from the options that appear.

You don't want to be in Show mode -- as in View/Slide Show -- you want to go
to the *menu* that's named Slide Show. Click on that menu, and you should
see an option for Set up Show somewhere on the list. (If you have the
downward-pointing chevron at the bottom of the menu, click the chevron to
show all the options on the menu.)

Does that get you started?

Echo S: Thank you for your assistance. It did work. The fact is that
I had not even noticed the presence of the " Slide Show" button in
the Main Menu. I guess I was too set on the " View" button.
