You might be surprised by everything PowerPoint has to offer, including 00:00:20.730 --> 00:00:23.980 ways to practice your presentation and take notes. 00:00:23.980 --> 00:00:28.470 First, this view should be familiar to you - a place to work with slides, a place to 00:00:28.470 --> 00:00:33.410 edit your presentation. This is the Normal view, and it's one of four views that you 00:00:33.410 --> 00:00:36.880 can access at the bottom of the PowerPoint window. 00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:42.610 The other slide views include Slide Sorter, which displays all of your slides in miniature. 00:00:42.610 --> 00:00:47.930 Here you can easily drag and drop slides to re-order them. 00:00:47.930 --> 00:00:52.800 Next is the Reading View. This fills most of your screen with a preview of your presentation, 00:00:52.800 --> 00:00:56.280 leaving room for navigation buttons here. 00:00:56.280 --> 00:01:01.579 Finally, we have the Slide Show View, which completely fills the screen with what the 00:01:01.579 --> 00:01:06.149 audience will see when you present. There's a handy menu in the bottom left corner that 00:01:06.149 --> 00:01:11.280 appears only when you hover over it, allowing you to navigate the slides, and access other 00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:16.850 features that can help you during your presentation. Alternatively, you can use certain keys on 00:01:16.850 --> 00:01:23.850 your keyboard to advance the slides, including the arrow keys; Page Up and Page Down; the 00:01:24.900 --> 00:01:31.900 space bar; and Enter. To end the slide show, just press Esc on your keyboard. 00:01:32.909 --> 00:01:37.270 PowerPoint gives you lots of ways to review and fine-tune your slides. Have you ever written 00:01:37.270 --> 00:01:42.409 a project outline for work or school? I think you'll like this feature. The Outline tab, 00:01:42.409 --> 00:01:46.750 which you can access in the left pane, lets you view the text from your slides in outline 00:01:46.750 --> 00:01:53.750 form. This is a great place to review your presentation, and make changes to the text. 00:01:57.180 --> 00:02:01.540 Another thing I like to do at this point is organize my slides into sections to make them 00:02:01.540 --> 00:02:06.649 easier to navigate on the Slides tab. This is sort of a two-part presentation - we have 00:02:06.649 --> 00:02:11.140 dogs, then we have cats and other small pets - so I think I'd like create a section for 00:02:11.140 --> 00:02:15.969 each. Let me show you how it works. Start by selecting the slide that you want to begin 00:02:15.969 --> 00:02:22.969 your first section. Then click the Section command, and Add Section. To rename it while 00:02:24.499 --> 00:02:30.879 it's still selected, I'm just going to click the command again, and choose Rename Section. 00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:34.510 Type the name here. 00:02:34.510 --> 00:02:41.510 Now I'm going to repeat the process to create a second section that starts with this slide. 00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:56.319 Now we can collapse and expand the sections by clicking the tiny arrow next to each section 00:02:56.319 --> 00:03:00.980 name. This is a great way to organize your presentation according to changes in tone 00:03:00.980 --> 00:03:05.769 or content, and display only the slides you're currently working with. 00:03:05.769 --> 00:03:10.279 Thinking ahead to the day of my presentation, I'm starting to get some ideas - talking points 00:03:10.279 --> 00:03:14.849 I'd like to jot down about the presentation and the pets that are being featured. Luckily, 00:03:14.849 --> 00:03:20.099 PowerPoint has a place for that - two places, actually! The first is the Notes pane, located 00:03:20.099 --> 00:03:25.019 at the bottom of the screen. The notes you enter here, also known as speaker notes, can 00:03:25.019 --> 00:03:29.629 help you prepare, and can also be printed when it's time for you to present. First I'm 00:03:29.629 --> 00:03:34.809 going to click and drag the edge of the pane to make it a little bigger. Now just click 00:03:34.809 --> 00:03:40.809 the pane to type in your notes. 00:03:40.809 --> 00:03:45.359 The second place you can enter and view speaker notes can be accessed all the way up here 00:03:45.359 --> 00:03:50.159 on the View tab. In the group that contains the rest of the presentation views, all you 00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:55.290 have to do is click Notes Page. Now you can review your slides and any notes you may have 00:03:55.290 --> 00:04:02.290 entered already - zoom in if you need to. You can also type directly in the text box. 00:04:04.379 --> 00:04:08.650 With so many ways to manage your slides - from speaker notes, to sections, to different slide 00:04:08.650 --> 00:04:13.459 views - PowerPoint has everything you need to go beyond just giving a slide show to giving 00:04:13.459 --> 00:04:20.459 a fully-realized presentation.
