Inserting and Developing an Outline


PP07S-1.1.4

Outlining your content is a great way to create a presentation. You can outline and organize your thoughts right in PowerPoint or insert an outline you created in another program, such as Microsoft Word. If you prefer to develop your own outline, you can create a blank presentation, and then type your outline in the Outline pane of Normal view. As you develop an outline, you can add new slides and duplicate existing slides in your presentation. If you already have an outline, make sure the document containing the outline is set up using outline heading styles. When you insert the outline in PowerPoint, it creates slide titles, subtitles, and bulleted lists based on those styles.

Enter Text in the Outline Pane


In the Outline pane of Normal view, click to place the insertion point where you want the text to appear.

Type the title text you want, pressing Enter after each line.

To indent right a level for bullet text, press Tab before you type. Press Shift+Tab to indent left a level.

Add a Slide in the Outline Pane


In the Outline pane of Normal view, click at the end of the slide text where you want to insert a new slide.

Press Ctrl+Shift, or click the Home tab, click the New Slide button arrow, and then click a layout.
