Your slides are the same, yet various views in PowerPoint do allow you to see those same slides with a different viewpoint. This approach makes sense because viewing slides in Slide Show view gives an entirely different perspective than editing them in Normal view. Further, it’s easier to reorder and work with multiple slides in Slide Sorter view, and make changes to individual slides in Normal view.

PowerPoint design is a field of design that’s different than the design of brochures, web sites, and even Word documents. It affords opportunities that these other media do not, and it also does not provide some options you may be used to, especially if you are a print designer. So, what if PowerPoint itself showcased these presentations-specific design opportunities or design possibilities for you? You could then choose to adopt a possibility with one click, or ignore—it’s your decision. Wouldn’t that be awesome? PowerPoint Designer is exactly this option.
Learn how you can use PowerPoint Designer in PowerPoint 365 for Windows.
