 Use the scroll bar. When you drag the box in the scroll bar, a ToolTip
appears to display the number and title of the current slide. Dragging
the scroll bar is the quickest way to move directly to any slide in your
presentation.
 In the list of slides on the left side of the window, click the thumbnail
for the slide that you want to display. If the thumbnails are not visible,
click the Slides tab above the outline.
Choosing a design
In Parts II and III of this book, you’ll learn many different ways to create
great-looking slides. However, you don’t have to wait until then to apply
some basic style to your presentation. I’ve already mentioned that Office
2007 comes pre-loaded with a handful of professionally-designed themes that
are designed to create polished presentations with just the click of a mouse.
To apply one of these themes, just select the Design ribbon tab, then click the
theme you want to apply in the Themes group. Figure 1-6 shows a presenta-
tion after a theme has been applied.
