Hello, my name is Deanna and in these lessons you will learn about Slideshor View and Notes View. How to present slides and navigate slideshows how to print slide handouts in this lesson you will learn about Slideshower View and Notes View. Slideshow shows a view of your slides in thumb nail form. This view makes it easy for you to sort and organize the sequence of your slides as you create your presentation. Slide Sorter view is not the same as the slide thumbnail pane. You cannot modify the slide content in Slideshor View. You can open Slideshower View through the view tab on the menu bar. So let's go to the menu bar and go to View slideshower. So here we have thumbnails of our slides in slide sorter view. So again, this is different than Slide thumbnail pane. So you can use Slide Sorter View to reorganize insert delete copy the presentation. You can also use it to see which slides have transitions or animations. One of my favorite ways to use Slideshow Review is to use it to look at all the slides at once to see if you've created a slide deck with a consistent feel throughout. So let's look at our slides in Slideshower View. A few notes. The star is telling us that there is either a transition or animation that's been applied. We can reorder our slides in this view. So maybe I want to swap slides four and five. I can just click on four, drag over and let go. Or I could do the opposite, just drag and drop to quickly reorder. Let's also right click a slide. I am going to select new slide from this menu and I was able to insert a new slide in Slide Sorter View. Now I can't build this slide. I can't add text here, but I am able to insert slides. I'm going to right click the slide that we just inserted and I'm going to delete it. I'm going to show you how to duplicate a slide. Let's click on slide three. Right click, duplicate slide. So you have an exact copy of the slide now, but again, I'm going to delete that slide. Okay, let's look at another thing that we can do here. If I click on slide five, if I right click, I'm going to go to hide slide. So what will happen here is your slide will look dimmed out. It does not delete the slide. You can always unhide that slide. However, while a slide is hidden, if you run this in presentation view, it will not show up. So it's not gone, it just won't run in presentation view. So I'm going to right click that again and unhide the slide. Okay, I am going to click on Normal View here to take us out of Slideshower View and back to our main slides. Let's talk about notes. View now. So Notes View is at the bottom of the slide window or you can get to the Notes page view from the view tab on the ribbon. The Notes pane is located beneath the slide window. You can print your notes or include the notes in a presentation that you send to the audience or just use them as cues for yourself while you're presenting. Let's take a look at Notes view. I am on view right now, but if not, you would click View and all the way on the left hand side click Notes. And this is going to give us some space at the bottom of our active slide or our current slide to add speaker notes. So I can just type some text, which I will do now. So the notes that I've typed into Notes View will not show up when I run the presentation. Your notes will not show in Slideshower view either. Let's take a look at both. So if I run this in Slideshow view, slideshow current slide, my notes are not presented still there. My notes are still there. Let's go to Slide sorter view. So go to view. Slide, sorter. My notes are not either. So you are only going to see your speaker notes in normal view. You can print your notes. So let's take a look at how to do that. Let's go to File print and we have a couple of options here. Print full page slides print If we want to be able to print speaker notes that we add, we need to select Print Notes pages. I will select Print Notes pages and I'm going to get sort of a print preview here and let me scroll down to the slide that I have speaker notes on. Here we go. So on slide five, I added the speaker notes and I would be able to print the speaker notes in this manner. Stay tuned for the next lesson where I will show you how to present slides and navigate while in presentation view. Thank you for watching.
