Other Slide Views

You probably noticed, as soon as you saw the PowerPoint view screen, the area running down the left side of the screen, which contained "little" views of your slides as you were creating them. This first "default view that you see is called Normal View.

 

In the lower left corner of the screen you will see some "buttons" the look like this:

Slowly point (move) your cursor arrow over each box and pause a moment (don’t click-on any of the box’s yet). Note what the Text Help boxes indicate. The first box (which looks "depressed") indicates: Normal View. The next: Slide Sorter View. Then, Slide Show.

Each button has its own unique use.

The Normal View gives you a view of the entire slide as well as the "mini-previews" of each slide in the area on the left. This is the one we have been using so far. You’ll also notice a Click to add notes section at the bottom of the Normal View screen. In this area you can type "speaker notes" for each slide in the lower portion of the screen. When we get to printing you will see that there is a print selection so that you can print your notes for each slide so that you can refer to them later while you are making your presentation.

Click-on Slide Sorter View.

In Slide Sorter View you can see small versions of your slides. In this view you can left click-on a slide and, while holding down the left mouse button, drag your slide to any position in your show that you desire. This view assists you in arranging your slides in the order that you desire for your presentation. This view is sort of like the old, round 35mm slide show trays where you pulled out and stuck in slides in the order you desired.

Click-on Normal View to return to your slide creation area. We’ll work with Slide Sorter View a bit later.

Save your work!

The Undo Button

One of the really handy "things" about most Microsoft programs is the Undo Button (it looks like the image on the right).  If you make a mistake-no need to panic-click the Undo button and this will remove your mistake.  Then you can try again.  The Undo Button is found in the Button Bar on the  top of the screen.  Each time you click-on the button PowerPoint will "go back" one change.  If you "click" too far, there is a "Redo button" that will "undo the undo."  They are both very handy when you need them.
