In Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007, different views of a slide are used to edit, print and deliver a presentation. PowerPoint slide views can be found in two places as follows:

1. On the View tab, in the Presentation Views group, where all views are available.
2. On an easy-accessible bar, at the bottom of the PowerPoint window, where the main views (Normal, Slide Sorter and Slide Show) are available. Different types of views available in PowerPoint 2007 are explained below:
   1. Normal View: This is the main editing view, where you write and design your presentations, i.e. actual screen which is displayed. The view is also known as Slide view. A Normal view is the default view size for the screen.
   2. Slide Sorter View: It provides a view of slides in thumbnail form. This view makes it easy to sort and organize the sequence of the slides at the time of creating presentation and also, at the time of preparing presentation for printing.
   3. Notes Page View: In the Notes Page view, the notes pane is located just below the slide pane. Here, notes that apply to the current slide can be typed. Later, these notes can be printed and referred while giving actual presentation. Notes can also be printed to handout to the audience or included in a presentation that is delivered to the audience or posted on a Web page.
   4. Slide Show View: This is used to deliver a presentation to the audience. Slide Show view takes up the full computer screen, like an actual presentation.

This view enables you to see how graphics, timings, movies, animated effects and transition effects will look during the actual presentation. To exit Slide Show view, press Esc key from the keyboard.
