Understanding Views

Screen Views

PowerPoint provides you with four screen layouts for use in designing your presentation in addition to the Slide Show view. You can select the page view by the View menu on the menu bar or by using the view toolbar located just above the drawing toolbar and at the bottom of the page.

   
Normal View
This screen is split into three major sections showing the outline on the left, the current slide in the main window, and speaker notes section at the bottom.
  Slide View
In the slide view, slides are displayed almost in full view on the screen. This view is helpful for adding images, formatting text, and adding background styles.
 
 
Outline View
The Outline view displays the "slideshow outline" on the majority of the screen with small windows for the slide view and speaker notes. This view is recommended for editing text or creating text in slides.
  Slide Sorter View
A thumbnail view of each slide is displayed in this view. Slides can easily be ordered, sorted and/or deleted from this screen.

Click the Slide Show button to view the full-screen slide show.
