powerpoint for mac slide view on left disappeared

Unfortunately, not all of the text Iu0027ve put into the slides appears on the outline view.

From what I can glean from the internet, PP outlines only display u0022the main text of a slideu0022.

What is this and how do I convert the slides so that the text appears in the outline Iu0027m hoping for an answer that doesnu0027t involve retyping 150 German-language surtitles.

The text Im trying to get to appear in the outline is text in further text boxes I created or copy-and-pasted from other slides.

Meaning, if you create your own text box on a slide, the text within it will not appear in the outline.

Copy ALL the text you want to appear in your outline and paste it into that location.

Go over to the main slide and you will find a huge text box with everything you pasted.

Drag the entire textbox just below your slide (totally OFF the slide) and park it there (forever).

If you need other text to appear on your finished slide, then create a new text box and place it where you like.

Repeat the process for each slide, then save it all.

Check it out and see if that will work for you.

Time-consuming but better for me than printing out slides 4 to a page, etc.

Set up a print routine where you are printing four slides per page - landscape on landscape.

ALSO, have you considered Timing your slides OR putting alternate empty slides and when you go to empty you blank the projector, although that can present its own problems as well.

You could put a shield up in front of the projector if it is a table top item also.
