Back
to the Way it Was
Do you use one of
the newer versions of MS PowerPoint?
How do you like the
new version of the Normal View?
I'm sure some people
love all the little panes that automatically surround your slide. I mean,
a place for notes right at the bottom and a visual of slides or an outline
down the left side are just the things some people are looking for.
But, did you notice
that all the extra panes didn't come for "free"?
There was a price
and that price was paid in the size of the slide you're editing. To accommodate
all that extra stuff, your slide got smaller.
If you've got a large
monitor, I'm sure you don't mind, but what if you do?
Looking for a quick way to
go back to bigger slides for editing in the Normal View?
No problem.
To return to the "way
it was," simply use Ctrl + Shift + click the Normal View
button.

You'll go from this:

To this:

With that one little
click, it's all done for you. (Definitely more slide visibility in this
view!)
Change your mind?
Once again, not a
problem. Just click the Normal View button again (without
the Ctrl + Shift) and you're back to where you started. It's simple either
way!
