Moving from slide to slide

In PowerPoint, there are several ways to move from slide to slide.

In Normal view, use the mouse and the scroll bar at the right of the screen to go from one slide to another.

Moving using the keyboard and Slide Sorter view

To move using the keyboard method:

Use the Page Up and Page Down keys on your keyboard to go from slide to slide in Normal view.

To move in slide sorter view:

Click the Slide Sorter view button to see miniature copies of your slides and double-click the slide you want to view up close.

Spelling check

PowerPoint's spelling check feature checks the entire presentation, including outline and notes, for spelling errors. It also gives you the option of selecting a specific word or paragraph to spell check.

To check the spelling of a presentation:

• Open your presentation
• Click the Spell and Grammar check button on the Standard toolbar.

OR

• Open your presentation.
• Choose ToolsSpelling.

If no words appear to be misspelled, it will say the spelling check is complete.

If a word appears to be misspelled, a dialog box suggests one or more alternatives for the word in question. Choose any suggested word by selecting the word and clicking Change. If you are sure the word in question is spelled correctly, click Ignore.
