How Can I See What Slides I Have Created?

There are many different methods for viewing the slides created for your presentation. Different versions of PowerPoint will have various shortcuts for viewing slides. We will discuss both PowerPoint 2000 and earlier versions and how to view created slides.

PowerPoint 2000 users will notice that their screen is divided into two separate sections. The section on the left will show a list of the slides that you have created. The section on the right will show the slide currently being worked on.

3- Slide Sorter View - This screen will show you the actual image of each slide in smaller form. This is helpful for moving slides and checking whole layouts quickly.
