Hide a Slide

With some tweaking, PowerPoint presentations can be re-used for a variety of situations.

For instance, a few of the slides may not apply to the audience you are presenting to, but you would like to keep those slides in the file. The solution is to hide them!

To Hide a Slide

1. Select the slide you want to hide.

2. From the Slide Show menu, click Hide Slide. The hidden slide icon appears with the slide number inside, next to the slide you have hidden.

When you view the Slide Show, the hidden slide(s) will not appear.

Note: To “unhide” the slide, select the slide, and from the Slide Show menu, click Unhide.
