the further you get into developing your
presentation the more helpful it is to
know how to manage and review your
slides you might be surprised by
everything PowerPoint has to offer
including ways to practice your
presentation and take notes first this
view should be familiar to you a place
to work with slides a place to edit your
presentation this is the normal view and
it's one of four views that you can
access at the bottom of the PowerPoint
window the other slide views include
slide sorter which displays all of your
slides in miniature here you can easily
drag and drop slides to reorder them
next is the reading view this fills most
of your screen with a preview of your
presentation leaving room for navigation
buttons here finally we have the
slideshow view which completely fills
the screen with what the audience will
see when you present there's a handy
menu in the bottom left corner that
appears only when you hover over it
allowing you to navigate the slides and
access other features that can help you
during your presentation alternatively
you can use certain keys on your
keyboard to advance the slides including
the arrow keys page up and page down the
spacebar and enter to win the slideshow
just press escape on your keyboard
PowerPoint gives you lots of ways to
review and fine-tune your slides have
you ever written a project outline for
work or school I think you'll like this
feature the outline tab which you can
access in the left pane lets you view
the text from your slides in outline
form this is a great place to review
your presentation and make changes to
the text another thing I
to do at this point is organize my
slides into sections to make them easier
to navigate on the slides tab this is
sort of a two-part presentation we have
dogs then we have cats and other small
pets so I think I'd like to create a
section for each let me show you how it
works start by selecting the slide that
you want to begin your first section
then click the section command and add
section to rename it while it's still
selected I'm just going to click the
command again and choose rename section
type the name here now I'm going to
repeat the process to create a second
section that starts with this slide
we'll call this section cats and other
small pets
now we can collapse and expand the
sections by clicking the tiny arrow next
to each section name this is a great way
to organize your presentation according
to changes in tone or content and
display only the slides you're currently
working with thinking ahead to the day
of my presentation I'm starting to get
some ideas talking points I'd like to
jot down about the presentation and the
pets that are being featured
luckily PowerPoint has a place for that
two places actually the first is the
notes pane located at the bottom of the
screen the notes you enter here also
known as speaker notes can help you
prepare and can also be printed when
it's time for you to present first I'm
going to click and drag the edge of the
pane to make it a little bigger now just
click the pane to type your notes the
second place you can enter in view
speaker notes can be accessed all the
way up here on the View tab in the group
that contains the rest of the
presentation views all you have to do is
click notes page now you can review your
slides and any notes that you may have
already entered zoom in if you need to
you can also type directly in the text
box with so many ways to manage your
slides from speaker notes to sections to
different slide views PowerPoint has
everything you need to go beyond just
giving a slideshow to giving a fully
realized presentation like what you just
saw
