8. VIEW TAB
Views allow you to look at your presentation in different ways, depending on where you are
in the creation or delivery process.
a) Presentation views:
Normal: This is the view that PowerPoint naturally begins with. It allows you
to see the current slide in detail, outlines, slide thumbnails, and notes.
Slide Sorter: This view allows you to see large thumbnails of all your slides,
so you can arrange them and modify them to your liking.
Notes Page: This view focuses on the Notes area. If you give your
presentation in "Presenter" mode, with a TV showing the full slide view, and
your notebook/laptop screen showing an overview of your slide show, the
Notes area can serve the same purpose as notes written on index cards, or a
script.
b) Masters
A "Master" is a way to set the same appearance for all slides. There are
three types of Master on the View tab: Slide Master, Note Master,
and Handout Master. Each Master has its own Ribbon tab.
SLIDE MASTER:
On the Slide Master, anything you add or change will appear on all existing
slides. You can add any element you wish to the Slide Master. Any object
can be added, and you can change the background as well.
9. FILE TAB
such as opening, saving, sharing, exporting, printing and managing your presentation. In the
upper-left corner is the Microsoft Office file tab. When you click the tab, a menu appears. This
feature is called the Backstage View. You can use the menu to create a new file, open an existing file,
save a file, and perform many other tasks. You can also open a new or recent presentation, preview
and print, and more from this tab.
When you click some parts of your slides, such as pictures, shapes, SmartArt or text boxes,
you might see a colorful new tab appear.
For example, the Drawing Tools tab appears when you click a shape or text box. When you
click a picture, the Picture Tools tab appears. Other such tabs include SmartArt Tools, Chart
Tools, Table Tools and Video Tools. These tabs disappear or change when you click
something else in your presentation.
