The outline view shows just the text content from various slides. This view does not show the text entered in the non-text box like SmartArt, WordArt or any other shapes.
By default, the outline pane size is the same as the slide tab pane; hence it is small. However, you can drag the pane out to increase the size to improve readability.
The steps to create a new section are as follows. You can execute these steps from the Normal view or the Slide Sorter view.
Step 1 − In the Normal view or the Slide Sorter view, right-click at the position where you want to add the section and select add section.
Step 2 − The new section gets added to the presentation with all the subsequent slides being included in this section.
Step 3 − By default, the new section is named "Untitled Section" but you can change the section name. Right-click on the section and select "Rename Section".
Step 4 − In the Rename Section dialog box, enter the new section name. This accepts all the characters including alphabets, numbers, special characters, punctuations, etc.
Step 5 − Click on the "Rename" button on the dialog to rename the section.
One of the advantages of sections is that you can not only group slides together, but also rearrange them as one set. Instead of having to move each slide individually, you can move the entire section. Just like rearranging slides you can drag and move the sections. Alternately, you can right-click on the section and move it up or down as shown below.
If there are many slides to work with, you can collapse them so you view just the sections. This makes rearranging them less confusing too.
PowerPoint 2010 provides three options to delete sections. The table below explains the function of each option.
| S.No | Delete Option & Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Remove Section Deletes the selected section and merges slides with the previous section. |
| 2 | Remove Section & Slide Deletes the selected section and all the slides in the section. |
| 3 | Remove All Sections Deletes all the sections and merges all the slides into a presentation without sections. |
This chapter will show you how to add slide notes to an existing presentation.
Step 1 − To locate the slide notes, set the view in Normal mode.
Step 2 − The Slide Notes section is indicated by "Click to add notes".
Step 3 − You can click on the top border and drag the section to increase its size to make it easier to type.
Step 4 − Type your text in this section as slide notes.
You can only use bullets, numbering and alignment functions in the Slide Notes section. All other functions can be selected, but can be applied only to the selected slide, not the notes.
Slide notes can be printed from the print menu under the Backstage view. From the Print Layout option, select Notes Pages or 3 Slides. Notes Pages will print a single slide with the slide notes below it. The 3 Slides will print all three slides with notes on the right side.

Given below are some of the most common content blocks you will see in PowerPoint.
This is typically found on slides with the title layout and in all the slides that have a title box in them. This box is indicated by "Click to add title".
This is found only in slides with the Title layout. This is indicated by "Click to add subtitle"
This is found in most of the slides that have a placeholder for adding content. This is indicated by "Click to add text". As you can see, this box allows you to add text as well as non-text content. To add text to such a box, click anywhere on the box, except on one of the content icons in the center and start typing.
This is not a default content box available in PowerPoint, but you can create it using Slide Master, if required. This is also indicated by "Click to add text". The only difference between the Text Only Box and the Content Box is that the former only supports text in the content area.
Step 1 − Right-click in the Navigation Pane under any existing slide and click on the New Slide option.
Step 2 − The new slide is inserted. You can now change the layout of this slide to suit your design requirements.
Step 3 − To change the slide layout, right-click on the newly inserted slide and go to the Layout option where you can choose from the existing layout styles available to you.
You can follow the same steps to insert a new slide in between existing slides or at the end on the slide list.
When we insert a new slide, it inherits the layout of its previous slide with one exception. If you are inserting a new slide after the first slide (Title slide), the subsequent slide will have the Title and Content layout.
You will also notice that if you right-click in the first step without selecting any slide the menu options you get are different, although you can insert a new slide from this menu too.
