2. Quick Access Toolbar: Also known as the QAT, this is a customizable toolbar placed by
default on the top of Ribbon -- you can add icons for your often used commands to this
toolbar. The QAT can also be placed below the Ribbon.
3. Ribbon: The Ribbon has tabs which in turn contain groups of buttons for various options --
some groups also contain galleries (for example galleries for Themes and Theme Colors).

4. Slides/Outline Pane: Normally placed on the left side of the interface, this pane contains two
tabs -- the Slides tab and the Outline tab. The Slides tab shows thumbnails of all the slides in
the open presentation. The Outline tab shows the same slides in outline view
5. Status Bar: A horizontal strip that provides information about the opened presentation like
slide number, applied Theme, etc. It also includes the view and zoom options.
6. Notes Pane: Directly below the active slide, this is where you input speaker notes for the
current slide. None of this content is visible on the actual slide while presenting -- although it
is visible in both Notes Page view and Presenter view.
7. View Buttons: Essentially there are three view buttons on the status bar displayed towards the
left of the zoom-in and zoom-out options:
Normal View - Clicking this enables Normal view, Shift-clicking this gets you to Slide
Master view.
Slide Sorter View - Clicking this displays zoomable thumbnails of every slide in the
open presentation. Shift-clicking this button gets you to Handout Master view.
Slide Show from current slide - Show the presentation as a full screen slideshow from
the current selected slide. Shift-clicking brings up the Set Up Show dialog box.
8. Slide Area: Displays the active slide.
9. Task Pane: The Task Pane contains more options and appears when you choose an option in
one of the Ribbon tabs -- for example if you click the Clip Art button on the Insert tab of the
Ribbon, the Clip Art task pane opens (refer to Figure 1).
10. Mini Toolbar: This toolbar is not shown in the figure above -- it's a semitransparent floating
toolbar that spawns right next to the cursor -- and it is also available instantly with a right-
click.
