Microsoft PowerPoint: Change Your PowerPoint Presentations View

When opening PowerPoint presentations, you may have a preference to have them open in Normal view, but if the presentation was saved in Outline view, that is how it opens up. Instead of continuously changing the view, have PowerPoint open all presentations in your preferred view.

1. In PowerPoint, go to the Tools menu and select Options.
2. Click the View tab.
3. Under the Default view section, click the down arrow and select the view that you want all presentations opened in. The default value is The view saved in the file.
4. Click OK to save your changes.
