I started a PPP on the PC then on the Mac - now I want to carry on the PC I
should like to go back to thumbnails in the left frame preview but I cannot
see a way of getting PP to revert back to thumbnails - I hope you can help

Can't remeber if it is the same in 2000, but in 2003 in the bottom left
corner of the workspace there is a button called "Normal View (Restore Panes)
- just above the Draw button in the default set up.
 
Thanks Terry but this does nothing for me - I was already using the various
buttons bottom left but the left frame Normal view remains in text and I see
no way of reverting back to thumbnails, nor do I see no reference to
'Restore Panes' either with a hovering mouse or a right click

There must be a way but I'm too much of a PP novice to know how to do it -
what am I missing?

Do you have a column on the left with two tabs called slides and outline? If
so click on slides. If not, beats me!

When not in 'SlideShow' my window has a group of 5 buttons at bottom left of
the PP window - from left to right:

Normal
which has three windows:
at the left edge a window which now show only text and used to show
thumbnails
at the bottom a 'Click for notes' text window which, so far, I have not
found a use for and which is closed down
and the main window where the editing is done

Outline view
which seems to be no more than a different arrangement of Normal - so far I
have not found a use for this

Slide view
but I would click the fifth button for preference to see the slide in
Slideshow

Slide sorter view
the purpose for which I understand

Slide show button
which starts the slide show from the active slide

I see no tabs - only the buttons described above

VERY frustrating

Thanks for trying

Have you tried clicking on "Slide View"?

Which version of PPT are you using, because that would help.

Click to expand...

PPT 2000 doesn't do thumbnails either, I'm afraid. You'd need 2002 or higher.
