Facility for inserting graphics and other multimedia files


Slideshow system for displaying the content

Different views of PowerPoint


Word documents have normal view and page layout view. Database tables have design view and
datasheet view. It only seems fair that PowerPoint documents have their own views. In
PowerPoint you can work with presentations in five different views:
Slide show view
Slide View shows one slide at a time Slide view is optimized for editing. You can edit not only
the text of a slide but also any graphics, sounds, and animations that might be included on the
slide. This is usually the best view when you are working with an individual slide.
Outline View
Outline View shows the contents of your presentation in outline format. This view is optimized
for organizing and arranging the content of your presentation.
Because the contents of all slides (that will fit on the page) are shown at once, you can easily
view and change the order of topics and subtopics. This view is also probably the most efficient
for entering the contents of your presentation.
Slide Sorter View
Slide Sorter View shows a thumbnail image of each slide in your presentation. This view is best
when you want to rearrange the order of your slides or just want to see each slide in your
presentation with the formats and colors you have chosen. In Slide Sorter View you can't edit the
contents of a slide, but you can quickly switch to Slide View were you can edit the contents
Notes Page View
Notes Page View shows one slide at a time with speaker's notes. This view is best when you are
entering or reviewing the notes you made for slides.
Slide Show View
Slide Show View shows your presentation as it will look to the audience when you run it. This
view displays one slide at a time in full-screen mode.
Slide Master
In Microsoft PowerPoint, the Slide Master is the top slide that controls all information about the
theme, layout, background, color, fonts, and positioning of all slides. Using the Slide Master is
an easy way to adjust the look of an existing theme or make changes to all slides in your
presentation.

Distributing handouts of slides is a great way to make sure your audience can read the material
and refer to it later. The handout master allows you to customize how your presentation will look
as a printed handout.
