Enter Your Own Text

The easiest and fastest way to enter and edit the text in your presentation is to use outline view. In outline view, you can see and edit your presentation in one window, rather than one slide at a time.

Guidelines for Working in Outline View

  To manipulate outline items, you can use the Outlining toolbar, which appears automatically in outline view.

  Each line of text that you type in an outline automatically becomes either a slide title or bulleted item on a slide.

  You can click to the left of a bulleted item and drag it to another location.

  If you click the slide icon next to a slide title, you can drag the slide and all its subordinate text at once.

  To create a new bulleted item, click at the end of an existing bulleted item line and press ENTER.

       Promote button

  To create a new slide, first create a new bulleted item, and then click the Promote button until the bullet becomes a slide icon.

Peek at your slide   While you work in outline view, the slide miniature window appears automatically and displays the selected slide. Or you can quickly switch to slide view by double-clicking the icon next to the title of the slide you want to see. Insert special characters   You can insert special characters such as em dashes, true fractions, and letters with diacritical marks (such as umlauts, cedillas, and so on) by clicking Symbol (Insert menu).
