Slides pane
The Slides pane contains thumbnail pictures of the slides in your presentation in the order in which
they will be shown, unless you change the slide show order. Clicking a slide in this pane selects it
and places it in the Workspace. When a slide is in the Workspace, you can make changes to it.
Several additional operations can be performed on one or more slides simultaneously in the Slides
pane:
• Add new slides to the presentation.
• Mark a slide as hidden so that it will not be shown as part of the presentation.
• Delete a slide from the presentation if it is no longer needed.
• Rename a slide.
• Duplicate a slide (copy and paste).
It is also possible to perform the following operations, although there are more efficient methods
than using the Slides pane:
• Change the slide transition following the selected slide or after each slide in a group of
slides.
• Change the slide design.
• Change slide layout for a group of slides simultaneously.
Sidebar
The Sidebar has seven sections. To expand a section you want to use, click on its icon or click on
the small triangle at the top of the icons and select a section from the drop down list. Only one
section at a time can be open.
