Using The Outline Pane in Normal View
The Outline pane enables you to work with the text of your entire presentation as an outline. Working with an outline is the best way to organize and develop the content of your presentation because you can see all the titles and main text from each slide. The slide icon and slide number are displayed to the left of each slide title. The main text is indented under the slide title, as shown below.
You can insert new slides easily and more quickly this way. This is recommended when you want to enter a lot of text content into your presentation. You can use the Slide Pane to change text position or add graphics or other objects later.
