Viewing Slide Shows

A slide show can be viewed in several aspects. On the bottom left of the status bar are the PowerPoint view buttons as illustrated at twice their original size below. In PowerPoint, place your cursor on each in turn for its name to be displayed in a yellow 'ToolTip' box. These are the view options:

Outline
Displays the title and main topics in the form of an outline. Use this for editing text throughout the presentation.
Slide View
Displays an overview of the presentation. The order of the slides can be changed in this view.
Slide Sorter
Displays a miniature version of each slide in its order of appearance.
Slide Show
Displays the actual slide show with animations etc, using the whole screen. The show starts on the selected slide, and each slide can be viewed by clicking the left mouse button or by pressing the Space Bar on the keyboard. Press the Esc key to leave the show.
