How to Move Slides in PowerPoint
What if you've created slides and then realized they go better in a different order? This wikiHow will show you how to move slides in PowerPoint using the Microsoft PowerPoint desktop application, the mobile app, and PowerPoint Online....
Method 1 of 3:
Using the Desktop Application
- Open your PowerPoint project. You'll find PowerPoint in the Microsoft Office section of your Start menu (Windows) or in your Applications folder (macOS). To open the project, click File > Open, then browse to and select the file.
- You can also open your project by right-clicking the file and selecting Open With > PowerPoint.
- If you'd like to use the free web version of PowerPoint, log in with your Microsoft account at https://office.live.com/start/PowerPoint.aspx?omkt=en-GB.
- Drag and drop the slides on the left side of the page. You should see a pane on the left that displays the order of the slides. To move a slide from the first position, for example, to the 5th position, just drag and drop that slide from its current position to where you want it to be.
- Press and hold Ctrl (Windows) or ⌘ Cmd (Mac) if you want to select multiple slides. They will move in a group and not individually, however.
- You can also right-click the slide and click Delete to delete the slide from your presentation.[1]
