Since 2007, PPTX has been Microsoft’s standard file format for PowerPoint. It can also be used for creating reports, which users often save or print as a PDF. PowerPoint is the most widely used format for presentations in both educational and work settings. Users can build presentations from scratch or use an online or company corporate template. PPT files normally comprise slides of text, images and animations that can play as timed or manually controlled slideshows. Use the arrows next to the headings to collapse or expand the levels you created with the outline.Microsoft developed the PPT format for PowerPoint, which is mostly used for creating and editing presentations. You’ll then see your outline in a collapsible and expandable format using print layout, web layout, or read mode in Word. Click “Close Outline View” in the ribbon. But if you prefer to close the outline, you can see your document in your default view at any time.

You can continue to use the outline view for the life of your document if you like. For instance, if you do not have multiple subdocuments embedded, Merge and Split will be grayed out. Note: Only applicable items will be available in this section of the ribbon. Lock Document: To keep changes from moving into subdocuments, you can lock the document.Split: If you want to separate subdocument content into multiple documents, you can create a split at each insertion point.

Merge: If you’re using multiple subdocuments, you can merge all content from each into the first subdocument.

Unlink: This removes the link to the subdocument and copies the text to the current document.
