How to Select a Group of Slides in PowerPoint

Select All Slides:

When you use the Slide Sorter as opposed to the Slides Pane, the procedure for selecting all slides in a presentation is a little bit different.

• Use the Slide Sorter: Choose View > Slide Sorter from the menu. The currently selected slide is the very first one in the presentation. Hold down the Shift key and click the slide that you want to pick all of the slides for in the presentation.
• Use Normal view: Choose View > Normal from the menu. To choose all of the slides in the presentation, open the Slides Pane, select the first slide, then hit and hold the Shift key, and finally select the last slide.

Select a Group of Consecutive Slides

This procedure is straightforward and quick.

1. Choose the first slide that you wish to view out of the collection of slides that you have.

2. While holding down the Shift key, choose the final slide that you wish to contribute to the group. This contains the very first slide you selected as well as the very final slide you selected, together with every slide in between the two extremes.

3. You may also choose consecutive slides by dragging across the slides you want to select and stopping when you reach the last slide you want to select.

Select Non-Consecutive Slides

This method is simple and easy to follow.

1. Choose the very first slide in the group that interests you. It is not necessary for this slide to come before any others in the presentation.

2. Keep holding down the Ctrl key (or the Command key on a Mac) while you choose each individual slide that you want to view. It is possible to select the slides in any sequence you like.
