Quick
"Flipping" Through Your Presentation
I've noticed that many users
of MS PowerPoint always seem to use the scroll bar to move from slide
to slide while editing in the Normal view.
It's not a bad way
to work and PowerPoint will even update you as to which slide you're at
while you scroll through the presentation.
But, what if you're
not sure exactly which slide you need?
Then it's a matter
of trying to move one slide at a time, but that can be a bit of a pain
using the scroll bar, can't it?
So, now what?
If you're not zoomed
in on the slides to more than 100 percent and like using the mouse for
this type of work, the arrows at the top and bottom of the scroll
bar will move you from one slide to the next.
However, if you do
tend to work while zoomed into the slides, the scroll bar arrows will
only move you through part of a slide. So, you ask "now what"?
again.
You could try the
Previous Slide / Next Slide buttons located below the
scroll bar.
These buttons will
definitely move you one slide in either direction, regardless of the zoom
factor.
Now, for those of
you who prefer to use the keyboard, all you need to remember is Page
Up and Page Down. (The up and down arrows will
work only if no objects on the slide are selected).
Yep, that's right,
those two little keys will move you through your presentation slide by
slide and once again, the zoom factor is not taken into account with this
method.
Whatever your preference,
you too can quickly slide-by-slide flip through your presentation for
browsing and editing!
