PowerPoint has an almost hidden feature, that has been there for quite awhile, and can be very useful when there are several presentations open – Arrange All.
When working with multiple presentations in PowerPoint, there are times where you will have to switch back in forth between them. PowerPoint can make this easier and instantly layout all the presentations across the monitors like this:
Go to the VIEW tab and the WINDOW section. There are a few options:
- Arrange All
- Cascade,
- Move Split
- Switch Windows
First, we will take a look at Switch Windows.
The SWITCH WINDOWS drop down menu shows a list of all currently open presentations. Select a presentation file name to bring that one to front.
CASCADE resizes and repositions all currently open presentations onto a single montior, slightly offset so you can see their separate windows.
ARRANGE ALL is one of our favorite features. This will evening divide all currently open presentations across the screen. This is particularly helpful when working on one presentation while referencing the other(s).
Here are 3 presentations instantly positioned on 1 screen.
When working on multiple presentations simultaneously, things can get a bit hectic. This particular feature in PowerPoint makes life a little easier by making it simple to cycle to each presentation or by quickly displaying all presentations on screen.
