HI Deb:
You can also just right click during the presentation and go to the slide
navigator and skip around. I find this no more confusing or difficult than
in the old days having to flip through overheads. Then, when you got back
to their usual place if you click through the students are less annoyed.
Of course, you are completely correct about the availability of the
information to them!
