Changing Views in PowerPoint: Part 2

Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm Gary for Expert Village. Also in the view menu, there is another view which is what we are looking at now is called the slide sorter view. So here we have all our slides up here on a white space. What we can do not is we can see the logical flow of the presentation by number of slides and what we can do is take a slide and we can change its order. Let's say this is slide number 4 and we want to move it over to where slide number 5 is. We go ahead and now slide number 4 becomes slide number 5 and they are switched. We can go ahead and change around the logical order of our presentation. So this view is called the slide sorter view. Another feature in the view menu is the color or gray scale option. Sometimes if you are working on a slower computer or if you are working with a lot of graphics, you want the slides to load a little bit quicker. And if we take the color out, sometimes that will help things so we can go ahead and click on gray scale or pure black and white and we see that the view of our slide changes to black and white. Now that does not mean it is going to print that way. The color is still there but our view inside of the window is black and white. So we can go ahead and once we close the gray scale view, everything changes back to the original color. So it is only for a temporary view of our slide presentation. So that is in the color gray scale option. It is also in the view menu where we are going to find our header and footer options. We can go ahead and click on slide and choose a header or footer. Here we have date and time for our footer and go ahead and type something in. Then we click on apply or apply to all which would mean it either applies to this particular slide or it applies to the whole entire project. And this is also is you just want to put some type of text, some type of company name or the person who designed the presentation. If you want that name to appear on every slide, that is also one of the places that you can do that. "
