Digitizing Your PDD

Working in Outline View

Outline View allows you to type presentation text in a more word processing-like environment than does Slide View. As you type in Outline View, you can see a color thumbnail of the current slide. The text you type in Outline View is inserted into Title and Bulleted List Placeholders on the slide.

Graphic objects are not displayed in this view.

Each individual slide is numbered and bullet points are displayed. To demote or promote bullet points, make sure the cursor is in the line you wish to affect, then press:

• TAB to indent a bullet point on a slide.

• SHIFT + TAB to "back up" to a previous indent level.

If you are on the title level (it will be bold), to create a new slide, press ENTER.

To rearrange the slides , click on the slide icon of the slide you wish to move. All contents of that slide will be highlighted and your cursor will change to a four-headed arrow. Press and drag the slide to its new location.
