Another
question for ya. What if I need to change the order of my
slides? For example, let's go back to that presentation on
music bands. Suppose I want to change the order from
alphabetical to chronological? If these were real slides,
I'd lay them out on the carpet and sort them out. I bet
you can't do that on a computer. |
|
Actually,
you can. It's called Slide Sorter View, and it's designed
for viewing a lot of slides at once, and easily changing
the order. And unlike laying your slides out on the
carpet, there's no danger of your dog chewing up your
slide of Ginger Spice. |

Ooh,
I hate when that happens! |

Switching to Slide
Sorter View
When you go to Slide Sorter View, you see miniatures of
all the slides in the presentation, complete with text and
graphics. This view is useful for rearranging slides, and
for adding transitions to slides.
There are two ways to switch to Slide Sorter View:
Click the Slide Sorter View button in the lower left
corner of the PowerPoint window.
Or, you can click the View menu, then click Slide
Sorter.

Okay,
you've shown us how to view the slides in Slide Sorter
View. How about the sorting part? |

I
was just getting to that... |

Moving slides around
The Slide Sorter View is the easiest place to rearrange
the order of your slides.
Let's say you have four slides in your presentation,
and you decide that Slide 2 should really appear after
Slide 3. Here's what you do to move the slides around:
1. Click Slide 2 and hold down the mouse button.
A small gray rectangle appears on the pointer.
2. Drag the pointer to the slide's new position
after Slide 3. A vertical line should appear after Slide
3.
 
3. Release the mouse button. Slide 2 should now
be positioned after Slide 3.
