slide sort view doesn't show slides

[David Voran]

How do I get the slide sorter view to show the slides? All I see are blanksquares with the titles of the slides.

Look for the "Show formatting" button. It's an icon on the toolbar that has
two "A's" on it, one small, one large. Click on it. Voila! It's a toggle
button. Click once and it's off. Click again and it's on.

I'm having the same problem. Can you please tell me how to access the "Show
formatting button?" in PPT 2007 from the slide sorter view, (home tab) I am
not able to click on the Aa button. This button says that it is for changing
the case of font. The only other button with two a's that I see is for "clear
all formatting". Neither of these options seem right, and neither are
available for "clicking".

Thank you!

Hi Patrick

You will need to add it to the Quick Access Toolbar: Office button ->
powerpoint options -> customise -> 'choose commands from' all commands ->
find & highlight 'show text formatting -> click add.
