About slide views

PowerPoint includes several different slide views, which are all useful for various tasks. The slide view commands
are located in the bottom-right of the PowerPoint window. There are four main slide views:

Normal view: This is the default view, where you create and edit slides. You can also move slides in the slide
navigation pane on the left.
