Selecting Slides

In the following sections, you learn to delete, copy, and move slides. However, before you can do anything with a slide, you have to select the slide. To select slides, follow these directions:

• To select a single slide, click on it. (In Slide and Notes Pages views, the currently displayed slide is selected; you don't have to click on it.)

• To select two or more neighboring slides in Outline view, click on the first slide, and then hold down the Shift key while clicking on the last slide in the group.

• To select a rectangular block of neighboring slides in Slide Sorter view, click and drag a "box" around the slides you want to include. All slides that fall into the box you drag become selected (see Figure 9.4).

• To select two or more non-neighboring slides (in Slide Sorter view only), hold down the Ctrl and Shift key while clicking on each slide. You cannot select non-neighboring slides in Outline view.
