Changing the Order of Slides


After you have rehearsed your presentation, you may find that you want to switch the order of some of your slides. You can change the slide order from the Slides tab or the Outline tab or in Slide Sorter view.



To change the slide order from the Slides tab:

  1. Click the Slides tab to display it.
  2. Select the thumbnail of the slide you want to move.
  3. Click and drag until the gray line appears where you want the slide, and then release the mouse button.


  • To select more than one slide to move, select the first slide, then press the Shift key, and then select the last slide in the set.
  • After you have selected a slide to move, click the right-mouse button and drag the slide to the new location. When you release the mouse button, a menu of options will appear, allowing you to move the slide, copy the slide, or cancel the action.

  • On the Outline tab, click and drag a slide icon to change the order of slides.
  • In Slide Sorter view, click and drag the thumbnail to change the order of slides.
