Working with the Slides in Outline Pane. If you look to the left of PowerPoint interface, you will notice a slides in outline pane option, and as you work with this, you will see that it actually helps you move around within your presentation and get things done a little more quickly. What you have here, basically, is you have an option to look at individual slides within your presentation, or you can click outline and see exactly what you have written so far. Now I have created a mock presentation for us to take a look at, just so you can see how the slides in outline pane works. All I have to do is look in the slides pane here and click any slide that I want to see. This prevents me from having to scroll through my slides and hopefully find a one that I want because I can see them here on this side of the screen. All I have to do is click around, then I can begin editing or doing anything I want to that particular slide. Now in the same manner, I can click this outline option and take a look at what I have actually written so far. Now one thing you will notice, by default it's a little bit hard to see everything here because your text doesn't actually stay within the box; it tends to run out, but if you will move your mouse over to the very edge like I have here, notice that the mouse changes to a slider option. So if you will change to that option and hold down your mouse key and then slide; as you can see, you can make this dialog box actually bigger so you can see everything; and again, just like the slides option, simply click through to actually see this slide here and then you can read what you have done. Now an interesting thing you can do is you can make any changes directly on your slides, or you can use the outline pane to do so as well. For example, let's say I want to get rid of this one bullet point; I can just select it and delete it off and you see the change was made here. I can even change the text as I want and the change is made on the slide. So this is an easy way for you to get an overview of your slides, see the text from one slide to the next, and then easily make changes outside of working on the individual slide. It's basically just another way for you to do things and do them a little more quickly. There is no preferred method; you can always edit directly on your slide, but if you want to edit in this outline view, that is perfectly fine as well. At the very bottom of this view, I am going to point out a couple of other buttons and these aren't technically a part of this pane, but they are important to note here. Right now you are in normal view, that means you are looking at an actual work area, probably a task pane, and your outline and slides pane. But if you see this option, you can go to slide sorter view; if you click that, then what you see is a view where all of your slides are listed, and there are a number of things you can do within this view that we will point out later. Finally, you can also see a slide show from the current slide. If you click that option, now you actually see the selected slide full screen. So you can toggle between different views using these buttons. Now one point I want to note here, on the slide pane itself, is this isn't just a way to look at your slides; it is also a way to reorganize them. For example, let's say that I had this slide called schedule and, after working on my presentation, I realize that I really need this slide to move up a few spaces. No problem. I just take my mouse, grab it, drag it to where I want to go, and release; and now I have reordered my slides. You can do the same thing in the slide sorter area, which we will see more about later, but as a note you can do that directly here as you are looking at your slides, all in one interface. Many times PowerPoint will try to make your life easier by including everything you need in one place. That way you don't have to switch between screens, which often becomes confusing, and this is just one example of PowerPoint trying to help you do just that.
