Customizing the Status Bar
The status bar along the bottom of the window gives you information about
the file you’re working on. The Word status bar, for example, tells you which
page you’re on, how many pages are in your document, and several other
things. In PowerPoint, the status bar tells you which slide you’re looking at
and the theme you chose for your presentation. The status bar also presents
the view buttons and Zoom controls.
To choose what appears on the status bar, right-click the status bar. You see
a drop-down list similar to the one in Figure 1-4. By selecting and deselecting
items in this list, you can decide what appears on the status bar.
