Outline pane in Powerpoint

[Robert Ovalle]

Hello,

In PowerPoint how do you get the outline pane to view the slides like
in windows. I can only see the outline view. In windows you have the
choice between slides and outline.

Thanks!

That's not a PPT/Mac feature.

I am truly finding this omission probably the single most limiting and
frustrating aspect of PPT 2004. To anyone who has become used to
creating and adapting presentations containing mostly graphics quickly
and efficiently using slide view in PPT 2003, the deletion of this
feature for 2004 is incomprehensibly short-sighted.

It is simply not good enough to switch to slide sorter view (which is
slow and cumbersome with a large presentation), I want to see the
slides surrounding the one on which I am working and be able to copy/
paste/rearrange them as required. The word outline in standard view
is, for me, a complete waste of space and I usually resort to slide
view.

I sincerely hope that PPT 2008 will remedy this glaring oversight on
the part of the software development team.

I don't particularly care for the slide thumbnails view myself but understand
how useful many people find it. MS *does* listen to this kind of request if
enough people make it, but you need to tell *them*; here, we're just a bunch of
PPT users like yourself, not Microsoft. On the Help menu, there's an option to
contact MS. Please do use that and tell them what you've said here. In fact,
just copy and paste what you've already written. It's very good feedback.
