To Create Slide Sections

  2. RIGHT + CLICK between two slides thumbnails. In Normal view these thumbnails appear on the navigation pane.

The section header is added and titled ‘Unnamed Section’. If there is no previous section header a ‘Default Section’ is also inserted at the beginning of the presentation.

To Modify Sections (e.g., Rename, Remove, Collapse, etc.) :

  • RIGHT + CLICK on a section header, or
  • Click the Sections button located on the Home Tab, in the Slides group.
