Then, we will address an outlineoutline which organizes text using a hierarchy with main points and subpoints to indicate the levels of text. An outline creates a map for your work and it is faster to enter text in Outline viewOutline view, but many people prefer to work in Normal view (including myself). I would like to encourage you to work in Outline view when the exercise asks you to because you might like working in this view. Outline view is one of the views available in Microsoft PowerPoint and you can select this view from the View tab. Please take the time to understand Outline view in order to not run into any difficulties.
So, beside each slide is a slide number, next to which is a slide icon, followed by the slide title if the slide contains a title placeholder. A slide with only an image (no text) will not have a title in the outline and will display only the slide number and icon. One benefit of working in Outline view is that you get a good overview of your presentation without the distraction of design elements, and you can move easily from one slide to the next. PowerPoint accommodates nine levels of indentation, although you will likely only use two or three per slide. Levels make it possible to show hierarchy or relationships between the information on your slides. The main points appear on Level 1; subsidiary items are indented below the main point to which they apply, and their font size is decreased. The message on the slide will extend out like stairs on a staircase and you can promote any item to a higher level or demote it to a lower level by clicking Increase List Level or Decrease List Level. You can collapse or expand your view of the outline contents to see slide contents or just slide titles. A collapsed outline view displays only slide icons and the titles of the slides, whereas the expanded outline view displays the slide icon, the title, and the content of the slides.
