In normal view, you can hide the pane containing the Outline and Slides tabs so that you see just the slide pane.
Do one of the following:
Hide the tabs
- Click the Close box in the upper-right corner of the tabs, or drag the splitter bar (on the right side of the tabs) all the way to the left.
Show the tabs
- Click Normal View (Restore Panes)
in the lower left corner of the Microsoft PowerPoint window, or point to the left border of the window and drag the splitter bar back to the right.
Note If you want to display only slide thumbnails, click Slide Sorter View
in the lower left corner of the Microsoft PowerPoint window.
