A PowerPoint table of contents (TOC) is a slide that provides an overview of the sections in your presentation. It allows your audience to understand the flow of your content at a glance. While PowerPoint does not generate a TOC automatically like Word does, you can easily create one manually. Here’s an example:
- Introduction
- Background Information
- Main Points
- Point 1
- Point 2
- Point 3
- Case Study
- Conclusion
You can hyperlink each item to the corresponding slide to make navigation easier. To do this, highlight the text you want to link, right-click and select “Hyperlink”. In the “Link to” option, choose “Place in This Document” and select the slide you want the text to link to.
Remember, a table of contents is not just a navigational tool. It also sets the expectation for your presentation. Therefore, it’s essential to make it clear, concise, and well-organized.
