00:00:11.530 --> 00:00:15.840
As you get further into developing your presentation,
it can be helpful to learn how to review and

00:00:15.840 --> 00:00:17.470
manage your slides.

00:00:17.470 --> 00:00:21.250
You might be surprised by some of the tools
PowerPoint has to offer, including ways to

00:00:21.250 --> 00:00:24.180
practice your presentation and take notes.

00:00:24.180 --> 00:00:27.140
First, this view should be familiar to you.

00:00:27.140 --> 00:00:31.460
There's a place to navigate your slides, and
a place to edit your presentation.

00:00:31.460 --> 00:00:34.510
This actually has a name—it's called Normal
view.

00:00:34.510 --> 00:00:39.969
And it's one of four views that you can access
using the buttons at the bottom of the window.

00:00:39.969 --> 00:00:44.180
The second view is Slide Sorter, where you'll
find thumbnail versions of each slide in your

00:00:44.180 --> 00:00:45.180
presentation.

00:00:45.180 --> 00:00:54.079
Here, you can easily change the order of your
slides, justly dragging and dropping the thumbnails.

00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:55.960
Next up is Reading View.

00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:00.329
This fills most of your screen with a preview
of your presentation, leaving room for navigation

00:01:00.329 --> 00:01:02.570
buttons here.

00:01:02.570 --> 00:01:08.470
Finally, we have Slide Show View, which completely
fills the screen with what the audience will

00:01:08.470 --> 00:01:10.480
see when you present.

00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:14.680
There's a handy menu in the bottom left corner
that appears only when you move your mouse,

00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:19.940
giving you the ability to navigate your slides…
and access other features, like the pen and

00:01:19.940 --> 00:01:24.630
highlighter tool.

00:01:24.630 --> 00:01:28.270
Thinking ahead a bit, I'd like to start writing
some notes about what I plan to say during

00:01:28.270 --> 00:01:29.490
my presentation.

00:01:29.490 --> 00:01:33.960
Luckily, PowerPoint has a place for that—two
places, actually.

00:01:33.960 --> 00:01:37.130
The first is the Notes pane, located at the
bottom of the screen.

00:01:37.130 --> 00:01:41.829
(You might need to click the command to make
it appear.)

00:01:41.829 --> 00:01:45.980
First I'm going to click and drag the edge
of the pane to make it a little bigger.

00:01:45.980 --> 00:01:50.009
Now we can click inside… and start typing
our notes.

00:01:50.009 --> 00:01:55.409
This is a great place to add ideas, talking
points, or just little reminders for yourself.

00:01:55.409 --> 00:02:01.070
There's even a way to print these notes, so
you can refer them later when you're presenting.

00:02:01.070 --> 00:02:06.219
The second place where you can view and enter
notes can be found on the View tab.

00:02:06.219 --> 00:02:11.030
Just click the Notes Page command… and you
can focus on the notes for each slide one

00:02:11.030 --> 00:02:12.570
at a time.

00:02:12.570 --> 00:02:17.810
To navigate, use the arrow keys on your keyboard,
or the scroll bar on the right.

00:02:17.810 --> 00:02:21.010
You can also type your notes directly into
the text box.

00:02:21.010 --> 00:02:29.510
Go ahead and zoom in if you need to.

00:02:29.510 --> 00:02:33.480
In addition to the notes tool, PowerPoint
gives you a couple more ways to prep and manage

00:02:33.480 --> 00:02:34.520
your slides.

00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:38.970
For instance, have you ever written an outline
for something at work or at school?

00:02:38.970 --> 00:02:41.430
I think you'll like this next feature.

00:02:41.430 --> 00:02:46.150
All you have to do is click the command that
says Outline View… and the left pane will

00:02:46.150 --> 00:02:49.980
display an outline version of all the text
in your slides.

00:02:49.980 --> 00:02:53.950
This makes it easy to review the contents
of your presentation, and also fine-tune things

00:02:53.950 --> 00:02:58.750
if you need to.

00:02:58.750 --> 00:03:05.920
To exit, click the Normal command at the bottom
of the window, or right here on the View tab.

00:03:05.920 --> 00:03:09.909
The other thing I like to do at this point
is organize my slides into sections, which

00:03:09.909 --> 00:03:12.300
can make them easier to navigate.

00:03:12.300 --> 00:03:16.730
In this example, we have sort of a two-part
presentation—first there are dogs, then

00:03:16.730 --> 00:03:21.930
there are cats and other pets—so I think
I'd like create a section for each.

00:03:21.930 --> 00:03:27.410
To get started, select the slide where you
want your first section to begin.

00:03:27.410 --> 00:03:34.000
Then go to the Home tab… click the Section
command… and choose Add Section from the

00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.480
menu.

00:03:36.480 --> 00:03:41.310
To name the section while it's still selected,
click the command again… then go ahead and

00:03:41.310 --> 00:03:43.650
choose Rename.

00:03:43.650 --> 00:03:48.810
We're going to label this one Dogs to make
it easy to tell the sections apart.

00:03:48.810 --> 00:03:55.640
Next, I'm going to repeat the process to create
another section later in the presentation.

00:03:55.640 --> 00:04:01.019
It's going to start with this slide here,
and it's going to be called Cats and Other

00:04:01.019 --> 00:04:09.950
Small Pets.

00:04:09.950 --> 00:04:14.250
Now we can collapse and expand the sections
using the tiny arrows next to each section

00:04:14.250 --> 00:04:15.910
name.

00:04:15.910 --> 00:04:19.880
All together, sections are a great way to
break up your presentation, so you can display

00:04:19.880 --> 00:04:23.990
only the slides you're currently working with.

00:04:23.990 --> 00:04:27.780
Now you know several different ways to prep
and manage your slides.

00:04:27.780 --> 00:04:31.800
How you use these features is up to you, but
they're bound to come in handy as you continue

00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:32.940
working in PowerPoint.
