Organizing Ideas in the Outline Pane


You can do most of the important work on a presentationthat is, content, content, contentwithout ever leaving the outline pane.

The outline pane becomes much more useful when it's accompanied by the Outlining toolbar. To make these handy buttons visible, right-click the main menu bar or any visible toolbar and select Outlining from the list of available toolbars.



Any text you type in the outline pane immediately to the right of a slide number becomes the title of the slide; subsequent outline points turn into bulleted items in the slide's text placeholder. Highlight, click, and drag to move outline text or entire slides. To select an entire slide, move the mouse pointer under the slide number until it turns into a "northwest arrow"meaning that the arrow points upward and to the left. Click and the slide is selected.
