Digitizing Your PDD

Navigating during Development

To navigate through the slides during development , you can use the Scroll Bar on the right of the screen. Press and drag the Slider to move continuously through the presentation. An indicator shows the slide you are currently passing and the title of that slide. Release the Slider to move to the indicated slide.

To move one complete slide forward or backward , click the appropriate double-headed arrow at the bottom of the Scroll Bar.

Another option is to move directly to the desired slide by clicking on the slide itself in the outline pane.

All AutoLayouts but two (Blank and Large Object) have a Placeholder for Title. The Slider demonstrates one reason why it is important to always use a layout that contains a Title Placeholder and to always title each slide—the title helps orient you to the location within the presentation.

In addition, the bottom left corner of the PowerPoint screen shows the current slide, out of the total number of slides, as well as the name of the Design Template applied to the presentation.
