Customizing the Status Bar
The Status bar along the bottom of the window gives you information
about your presentation. It tells you which slide you’re looking at and
the theme you chose for your presentation. It also presents the View
buttons, the Fit to Page button, and Zoom controls, among other
amenities.
To choose for yourself what appears on the Status bar, right-click it. You see
the pop-up menu shown in Figure 1-4. By selecting and unselecting items on
this menu, you can decide what appears on the Status bar.
Select or unselect these options to take command of the Status bar:
✦ View Indicator: In Normal view, tells you which slide is displayed and
how many slides are in your presentation. I see no reason for jettisoning
this one.
✦ Theme: Tells you which theme you selected for your presentation.
✦ Spell Check: Displays an icon that indicates whether spelling errors are
found on a slide.
