Expanding A Slide To Create Additional Slides

Power-Point 97 has a command that you might find useful—especially when you’re trying to cram a lot of info into a slide show. The command is called Expand Slide. Here’s how to test it:

When you have a slide that looks a bit too crowded with text, you can see how Expand Slide works. Open a blank slide, one that has text boxes in place, and add text. Then add some more text, and when you’re finished, add some text. Now, choose View, Slide Sorter. Next, choose Tools, Expand Slide. PowerPoint will now split the text across a group of new slides. You can go with the Power-Point version. You can also move parts of the expanded slide into a new slide and customize things a little.
