Scrolling through slides in PowerPoint is a breeze, and there are several ways to do it. The method you choose largely depends on whether you’re in Normal View or Slide Show View.
In Normal View
In Normal View, you can use the scroll bar on the right side of the screen to move up and down through your slides. Alternatively, you can use your mouse’s scroll wheel if it has one. To navigate to a specific slide, click the slide thumbnail in the left-hand pane.
In Slide Show View
In Slide Show View, you can navigate through your slides using your keyboard. Press the right arrow key, the down arrow key, or the Page Down key to advance to the next slide. To go back to the previous slide, press the left arrow key, the up arrow key, or the Page Up key. You can also use your mouse to navigate: left-click to advance to the next slide and right-click to see a menu that lets you navigate to previous slides or specific slides.
Using Slide Sorter View
The Slide Sorter View gives you a bird’s eye view of all your slides. This view can be particularly useful when you want to reorder your slides or navigate to a specific slide. To access Slide Sorter View, go to the View tab and click Slide Sorter. Then click on any slide to select it.
Remember, practice makes perfect. The more you navigate through PowerPoint slides, the more familiar you will become with the process. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different methods to find the one that suits you best.
