Discuss the different slide views available in PowerPoint 2010.

The different slide views available in PowerPoint 2010 are as follows:

1. Normal View — It is the main editing view, which is used to write and design a presentation. In Normal View, we can add text, graphics, sound, animation, and other effects as well. In this view, we can also have a large view of an individual slide, notes pane at the bottom, an outline of the slide text (Outline tab), and slides displayed as thumbnails (Slides tab), all at the same time.
2. Slide Sorter View — It displays a miniature view of all the slides in a presentation arranged in horizontal rows. This view is useful in making changes to several slides in one go. In Slide Sorter View, we can change the order of slides, copy or delete the slides, add transitions, animation effects, and set the timings for the slide show.
3. Slide Show View — It shows all the slides of a presentation starting either from the first slide or the current slide one after another. One slide occupies the entire screen in this view. In this full screen view, we can see how our graphics, timings, movies, animated elements, and transition effects will look in the actual show.
4. Notes Page — The Notes Page option is available on the View tab. It displays the notes page for the selected slide, where we can write additional information for the current slide. These notes are not visible when the presentation is shown. These notes help the speaker to remember the important points while presenting.
5. Reading View — Reading View is similar to Slide Show View. The slide is shown in a full screen mode. In the Reading View, Title bar and Status bar get displayed on the screen. This view is not only useful to quickly navigate during the slide show, but also provides an easy access to the windows task bar to switch to other opened programs or windows.
