The fifth graders are making powerpoints that are a series of postcards that they are creating about the Oregon Trail.My fifth graders are working on powerpoint and I was trying to think how to arrange the slides in powerpoint. They would put the slides in the wrong order and want to straighten them out. I KNEW that you could do it, but couldn't think about how to do it.
Well, it is quite easy when you know where to look. Almost embarrassingly easy, but I figure if I write it here, I will find it the next time I can't remember where it is.
Go to View and choose the Slide Sorter. This will give you a visual representation to the presentation. You can just move the slides very easily in that. You just have to physically move the slide with the mouse.
In Open Office, you can move the slides when they are on the left side in the normal view and they also have the slide sorter in the exact same place as Powerpoint. So far, I have not found anything really that you can't do in Open Office that you can do in Powerpoint, but I have been hearing that the presentation mode is not as strong in Open Office. Stay tuned to find out what I do discover.
