Microsoft PowerPoint:

Understanding the Different Views


Microsoft PowerPoint has three main views: normal view, slide sorter view, and
slide show view.

Normal View

Slide Sorter View

Slide Show View

Normal view
Normal View is the main editing view, which is used to write and design a
presentation. The view has three working areas: on the left, tabs that alternate
between an outline of slide text (Outline Tab) and slides displayed as thumbnails
(Slides Tab); on the right, the slide pane, which displays a large view of the
current slide; and on the bottom, the notes pane.

To Navigate to Normal View:

Slide Sorter View
Slide Sorter View is an exclusive view of the slides in thumbnail form.

To Navigate to Slide Sorter View:

When finished creating and editing a presentation, Slide Sorter View gives an
overall picture of it, making it easy to reorder, add, or delete slides and preview
transitions and animation effects.

Slide Show View
Slide Show View takes up the full computer screen, like an actual slide show
presentation. In this full-screen view, the presentation is shown the way it will be
seen by the audience. Graphics, timings, movies, animated elements, and
transition effects are shown how they will look in the actual show.
