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” they 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 you can print your notes for each slide. Then, during your presentation, you can refer to your printed notes.
Click-on Slide Sorter View.
In Slide Sorter View you can see small images of each slide. 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.
The last button is Slide Show. Anytime you want to view our presentation, click-on this button. If you click on it now, you will see how the slide on which you are working will look. Give it a try if you desire. When you are finished looking at your slide, tap the Esc button/key in the top-left part of your Keyboard. This will take you back to the View in which you were working.
Click-on Normal View to return to your slide creation area. We’ll work with Slide Sorter View a bit later.
Save your work!!
