7. Explain the different modes to view a presentation.
Ans. The presentation can be viewed in six different modes, i.e., Normal, Outline, Notes, Handout, Slide Sorter and
Slide Show View.
Normal View: In normal view (by default), a blank slide appears on the workspace. It enables a user to make
presentation as per the need. It is helpful while designing a presentation of a large number of slides. It sets the
standard for viewing slides.
Outline View: Outline View displays the slides of a presentation in the miniature format that is without
backgrounds, colours, graphics, etc. It is a useful option for quickly browsing the presentation or reviewing
the presentation. In an outline view, only the text layout is displayed (Slide Title and Main text). It is useful for
editing the text since the text of several slides appear on the screen at the same time. In an outline view, the
serial number and slide icon precede each slide. The title is shown in larger font than the subtitle. In this view,
it is easy to rearrange slides, delete slides, modify slides, etc.
Notes View: In the notes view, the slides are displayed in a reduced form on top of the page. Towards the
bottom side, there is a text box in which notes for the slide can be added.
Handout View: The handout view enables to prepare a hard copy or summary of the presentation. In this view,
the user can print many slides in a single page. (Often, the Handout tab is not viewed as a template).
Slide Sorter View: In Slide Sorter View, the user can view more than one slide in a small size on the screen. The
number of slides that gets accommodated on the screen depends on the monitor and the percentage of zoom.
The slide number appears at the top, towards the left side of the slide. The user can also rearrange the slides
that are numbered according to the sequence of the presentation.
Slide Show: The ‘Slide Show’ view is used to view the complete presentation and it displays each slide in full
screen one by one. A user can press the Home key to move to the first slide and the End key to move to the
last slide during the slide show. To stop in between, the user can right click the mouse and select the option
‘Exit’.
8. What is ‘Slide Pane’?
Ans. The slide pane contains thumbnails of the slides of a presentation in sequence of display. If any one of the slides
in this pane is clicked, that particular slide opens in the workspace.
9. What is ‘Slide Layout’? List the names of different types of slide layouts.
Ans. Slide layout refers to the basic look or frame of the type of slide in which the contents can be added. In
Impress, there are various types of pre-defined layouts for creating slides that can be used for creating a new
presentation. Some frequently used layouts are Title Slide, Content, Title-Only, Blank Slide, etc.
