Hide or show a slide

If you want to include a slide in your presentation, but you don't want it to appear during a slide show, you can hide it. For example, you can hide slides that contain supplementary information. You can also change the setting while you're giving a presentation so that the hidden slides show.

Do any of the following:

Hide a slide

1. In the navigation pane, select the slide that you want to hide.

   How to select slides in the navigation pane

   1. On the View menu, click Normal.

   2. In the top of the navigation pane, click the Slides   tab, and then click a slide. Depending on the width of the navigation pane, you will either see the and  named tabs or the Slides  and Outline  icon tabs.

2. On the Slide Show tab, under Set Up, click Hide Slide.

   

   Notes: 

   1. If the slide is hidden, the hidden slide icon appears on the slide in the navigation pane.

   2. If you previously added slide numbering to all slides, the hidden slides are still included in the slide count.
