The presentation can be viewed as linked pages with their spoken explanation shown below each slide - the structure is self-explanatory, and if you hold the mouse over any of the buttons in the control bar underneath a tool-tip will pop up to explain its function.
Or the presentation can be viewed as a full screen slide show by clicking this button in the control bar:
