You can customize the performance of many PowerPoint
features including its editing, saving, spelling, viewing, printing and
security procedures. The Advanced section of PowerPoint Options allows
you to change options to specify how you want to open presentations,
edit text, display content, deliver a slide show, and print
presentations. When you change these options, PowerPoint uses them for
