Managing Slides

After inserting a few slides into a presentation, and perhaps building some content on them, you might decide to make some changes, such as rearranging, deleting, and so on. The following sections explain how to manage and manipulate the slides in a presentation.

Selecting slides

Before you can issue a command that acts upon a slide or a group of slides, you must select the slides that you want to affect. You can do this from either Normal or Slide Sorter view, but Slide Sorter view makes it easier because you can see more slides at once. From Slide Sorter view, or from the Slides pane in Normal view, you can use any of these techniques to select slides:

• To select a single slide, click it.

• To select multiple slides, hold down the Ctrl key as you click each one. Figure 21-19 shows slides 1, 3, and 6 selected, as indicated by the shaded border around the slides.

To cancel the selection of multiple slides, click anywhere outside of the selected slides.
