Microsoft PowerPoint:  Create a Summary Slide

Often times when you create a presentation, you either have an agenda slide at the beginning of your presentation to inform your audience of the topics to be covered or you have a summary slide at the end to recap what was discussed in your presentation. In either case, you can easily create this slide using the Summary Slide feature in PowerPoint.

1. In Slide Sorter view, select all slides you’d like to be on the summary slide. (Remember: To select contiguous slides, use a Shift-click. To select non-contiguous slides, use a Control-click.)
2. Click the Summary Slide button on the Formatting toolbar.

A summary slide will be inserted prior to the first slide you selected and list the slide titles of all selected slides.
