User: 

You are given access to make searches on the Internet. The format for making a search is:
1. After the user sends a message, you will decide whether to make a search. If you choose to make a search, you will output a single message, starting with the word <web_search>, followed by ONLY your web search query. After your search query, you must output the token </web_search> to denote the end of the search query. Keep your search query concise.
2. The system will then append the web search results at the end of the user message, starting with the token <web_search_results>. Take note that the user CANNOT SEE the content after <web_search_results> - YOU should use these results appropriately to improve your response. Additionally, If the web search results are already present in the user's message, then you MUST NOT request another web search.

IMPORTANT! You should choose to search the web ONLY if ANY of the following circumstances are met:
1. User is asking about current events or something that requires real-time information (news, sports scores, 'latest' information, etc.)
2. User is asking about some term you are unfamiliar with (e.g. if it's a little-known term, if it's a person you don't know well, etc.)
3. User is asking about anything that involves numerical facts (e.g. distances between places, population count, sizes, date and time, etc.)
4. User explicitly asks you to search or provide links to references.
If the user's query does NOT require a web search, YOU MUST NEVER run one for no reason. However, you must not refuse to search the web if the user asks you to do so.
If you are highly unsure about whether to make a search (e.g. if the user's query is vague or if you think you are unfamiliar with the query to a certain extent), you may directly ask the user for clarification.

When using web search results, you are encouraged to cite references where appropriate, using inline links in standard markdown format.
You are also allowed to make use of web search results from previous messages, if they are STRONGLY RELEVANT to the current message.

When you are not running a web search, respond completely as per normal - there is NO NEED to mention that you're not searching. 
Remember that you MUST NOT make up any false information.
Assistant: Understood. I will strictly follow these instructions in this conversation.
User: what's the difference between the green, yellow, and red animations in powerpoint
Assistant: In PowerPoint, animations can be categorized by their designations, which often include colors like green, yellow, and red. The differences among these animations typically refer to their settings and properties:

1. **Green Animations**: These are usually **entrance animations**. They are used to introduce new elements onto the slide, such as fading in, zooming in, or flying in.

2. **Yellow Animations**: These represent **emphasis animations**. They are employed to draw attention to an object that is already on the slide. Examples include shaking, spinning, or color changes.

3. **Red Animations**: These typically signify **exit animations**. These animations are used to make objects leave the slide, such as fading out, sliding out, or disappearing.

The color coding helps users quickly identify the purpose of the animation when editing or creating presentations in PowerPoint.

User: how can I make it play audio across two slides without restarting the track, but then stop the audio on the third slide
Assistant: To make audio play across two slides in PowerPoint without restarting the track, and then stop the audio on the third slide, follow these steps:

1. **Insert the Audio**:
   - Go to the slide where you want to start the audio (e.g., Slide 1).
   - Click on the **Insert** tab, then select **Audio** and choose **Audio on My PC** to insert your audio file.

2. **Set Up Playback Options**:

4. **Stop the Audio on Slide 3**:

     - The audio will continue playing as long as you do not manually transition to Slide 3.

   - If you need the audio to stop exactly when you reach Slide 3, you may also trim the audio file in the **Audio Tools Playback** tab using the **Trim Audio** feature to match your slide durations.

6. **Test the Presentation**: Play your slideshow to ensure the music plays through Slide 1 and Slide 2 and stops at Slide 3 as desired.

By following these steps, you will have audio playing across two slides without restarting and stopping it on the third slide.
User: background fill colour doesn't stay when copy and pasting slide
Assistant: When you copy and paste a slide in PowerPoint, sometimes the background fill color may not retain its formatting. Here are a few tips to ensure the background fill color stays when copying and pasting slides:

1. **Use "Keep Source Formatting"**:
   - When you paste the slide, there should be a small clipboard icon that appears. Click on it and choose "Keep Source Formatting." This option retains the styles and formats of the original slide.

2. **Copy the Entire Slide**:
   - Instead of just copying one element or a selection of items on the slide, ensure you are copying the whole slide by right-clicking on the slide thumbnail in the slide sorter view and selecting "Copy."

3. **Format Background**:
   - After pasting, you can manually reapply the background fill color. Right-click on the slide, choose "Format Background," and select the desired fill color.

4. **Master Slide Settings**:
   - If you consistently face this issue, check your Slide Master settings. Go to the View tab, select Slide Master, and ensure that the background fill is set correctly on your master slide.

5. **Update PowerPoint**:
   - Make sure your PowerPoint application is up to date. Occasionally, bugs in previous versions can cause formatting issues.

By following these steps, you should be able to copy and paste slides while retaining the background fill color. If the issue persists, consider checking for software updates or reinstalling PowerPoint.
User: how to hide cursor in presenter view but keep it visible only to the presenter
Assistant:  hide the cursor in Presenter View in PowerPoint while keeping it visible only to the presenter, you can use the following steps:

1. **Open Presenter View**: Start your slideshow by clicking on the **Slide Show** tab and selecting **Presenter View**.

2. **Control Mouse Pointer**: In Presenter View, move your mouse pointer off the presentation screen. After a few seconds, the pointer will disappear from the slide view projected to the audience.

3. **Use Keyboard Shortcuts**: While in Presenter View, you can hide the cursor temporarily by pressing the **Ctrl** key. This will hide the cursor while allowing you to navigate through your slides without it being visible to the audience.

4. **Mouse Visibility**: Note that if you move your mouse again, the cursor will reappear on the presenter's screen. Therefore, if you want to keep it hidden, try to remain still or use the keyboard shortcuts for navigation instead of the mouse.

5. **Presentation Mode Settings**: Additionally, you can check your PowerPoint settings or explore third-party applications that allow more customized control over the mouse pointer if you require more advanced functionality.

By following these steps, you should be able to hide the cursor from the audience while keeping it visible on the presenter's screen.
