In Mathematica 6, the easiest way is to choose the menu item

   File > New > slide Show

and you'll have a template for a slide show.  Now what you'll see won't 
look like a slide show quite yet, since you're viewing it on-screen in 
ordinary, "Working" form.

At any point, to toggle it into SlideShow format, select the menu item:

  Format > Screen Environment > SlideShow

Now you'll see just one slide at a time, and the navigation icons will 
appear at the top and right-bottom of each slide.

There's also a SlideShow palette (menu item Palettes > SlideShow) that 
makes it easier to toggle between normal and Slide Show format 
on-screen, and it also allows you to insert new slides without manual 
copy-and-paste, and to create a Table of Contents -- a separate, pop-up 
palette, that's like similar navigation panels in Power Point.

For fancier formatting, you'll need to customize the notebook.  For 
example, slide show notebooks used at many Mathematica conferences have 
custom templates that provide a logo, etc.
