How can I run PowerPoint 2011 (v.14.01) for Mac in "windowed" mode?

Question

I want to run a power point presentation in a window instead of full screen. I don't want any of the UI to show, just the presentation itself. How can I play a presentation without UI as if it's fullscreen, but in a window so I can run it side-by-side with another app?

1. Open an existing presentation or create a new one.
2. On the Tools menu, click Customize, and then click the Commands tab.
3. From the Category list, click View.
4. Find the "Slide Show in a Window" button and drag it to one of your toolbars.
5. Click Close.

When you click the button, your Slide Show runs in a window and follows the settings in the Slide Show dialog box.
