| Creating Slides in Outline View |
PowerPoint's Outline View is a great way to quickly and easily create slides and bullets. When you start a presentation, the first thing you want to do is to brainstorm all the ideas and topics that you want to cover.
Outline view helps you create your slides and focus on the content and order of your delivery, which is so important to a presentation. You can save the fancy things, like backgrounds, fonts and pictures, for later.
Click on the Outline tab on the left hand side of the Normal view. This switches the normal display of thumbnails to an outline of your presentation. Each icon on the left represents a slide.

| Enter and CTRL+Enter to make bullets |
To create the slides in a blank presentation, press ENTER. Type in some text and that's the title of your slide. You can create the bullet points on each slide as you go along or you can come back on yourself by doing the slides first and then doing the detailed bullets after.
Pressing ENTER makes a new slide. Pressing CTRL+ENTER indents down to the bullet level. Type in your first bullet then press ENTER to go on to the next one. When you want to do another slide, press CTRL+ENTER.
You can also use TAB and SHIFT+TAB to do the indents and outdents for the outline.
When you want to change the order of your slides, click one of the slide icons (your mouse pointer changes to a four-headed arrow) then drag and drop the slide into a different position.
The slide layouts automatically used for your slides are Title for the first slide and Title and Content thereafter. In Microsoft PowerPoint 2013 the Outline pane has to be turned by clicking the Outline View control in the Presentation Views group on the View tab.
