The Outline pane shows the text from the presentation’s slides in a hierarchical
tree, with the slide titles at the top level (the slide level) and the various levels of bulleted lists on the slides displaying as subordinate levels. Text that you type in the Outline pane appears on the slide, and vice versa, as shown in Figure 21-15.

FIGURE 21-15
When you type text into the Outline pane, it automatically appears on the current slide.

The Outline pane doesn’t actually show all of the text in all cases; see the section “Creating Text Boxes Manually” later in this chapter to find out why text in some text boxes does not appear in the Outline pane.

Follow these steps to create a new slide from the Outline pane:

1. Switch to Normal view.
2. Right-click the existing line on the Outline pane that the new slide should follow.
3. Click New Slide. A new line appears in the Outline pane, with a slide symbol to its left.
4. Type the title for the new slide. The title appears both in the Outline pane and on the slide.

You can also create a new slide by starting a new line in the Outline pane and then promoting it to slide level by pressing Shift+Tab. Follow these steps to insert a new slide in this way:

1. Position the insertion point at the end of the last line of the slide that the new slide should follow, and press Enter to start a new line.
2. Press Shift+Tab to promote the new line to the highest level (press it multiple times if needed), so that a slide icon appears to its left.
3. Type the title for the new slide. The title appears both in the Outline pane and on the slide.

After creating the slide, you can continue creating its content directly in the Outline pane. Press Enter to start a new line, and then use Tab to demote, or Shift+Tab to promote, the line to the desired level. You can also right-click the text and choose Promote or Demote. Promoting a line all the way to the top level changes the line to a new slide title.
