    Last week, during week 4 we learned about the program and functions of Microsoft PowerPoint. There is a number of things that many have previous learned of have knowledge of pertaining to PowerPoint although one very important function that were unaware of to many, if not all, members of Team A. Those features consisted of the Notes Page View, Slide Sorter View and the Presenter View. The Notes Page comes in handy when you do not want to apply too much text to a slide(s) and you type the additional information below the slide in the “notes” section. The notes you right are not visible to the audience, so clicking on the notes page, you can view all the notes you wrote for that slide and present this while presenting. Secondly, the Slide Sorter View which displays thumbnails of your presentation slides and allows you to delete one or more slides and even re organize what you have laid out if you feel the slides are out of order. Lastly, is the Presenter View which is a compact view option that provides the presenter with a screen shot of the current screen in combination with other handy tools that can only be viewed by the presenter them self.…
