Understand the uses of different presentation view modes: normal view, outline view, handout view, notes view, slide sorter view.
Impress offers us different views to work on our slides and presentations. These views can be used to understand the slide structures in a presentation in different ways.
The main view in which we create individual slides is known as ‘Normal View’. This view is used to design and format slides, add effects, text or graphics to slides.
In ‘Outline View’, all the slides of the presentation are displayed in a numbered sequence.
‘Outline View’ shows all the topics, titles, bulleted lists and numbered lists for each slide in an outline format.
‘Notes View’ is used to add notes pertaining to a particular slide. These notes are not visible when the presentation is shown to audience or some extra display monitor connected to your machine.
To create notes in the ‘Notes View’, we click on the ‘Notes’ view tab and select the slide from slide pane. A text box appears below the slide where we can add notes.
