Different Views |
 |
| There are 6
different views to decide from when creating and
showing your PowerPoint presentation. The Slide
View shows one slide at a time. It allows
you to work on each slide on its own. The Slide
Sorter View shows many slides on the screen at
once. It makes it easier to move the position of the
slide in the presentation. It also allows the
presenter to see the overall effect of the
presentation. The Outline View shows the
presentation in outline form. It shows the text that
will be on each slide. The Notes Page View is
mostly used for the speaker. It is a way for the
speaker to print out his/her presentation and have
notes that he/she will only see at the bottom of
each slide. The Normal View displays the
outline, slide, and notes section on one screen. The
Slide Show View is used when the presenter is
delivering the presentation to an audience. It
enlarges each slides and allows the special effects
to be used. |
