Summary:

There are limits to the number of slides that will display in the sorter views in PowerPoint.

In Title Sorter view, the slide limit is 293. Even if there are more than 293 slides in the presentation, only the first 293 will be listed.

In the Slide Sorter view, the limit varies depending on the number of columns in which the slides are being viewed. The number of columns used in Slide Sorter view will depend partly on the selected view percentage, and partly on the target device settings.

= NUMBER OF COLUMNS =

View Percentage 1 Col 2 Cols 3 Cols 4 Cols 5 Cols 6 Cols ————— —– —— —— —— —— ——

100%        28      56  66%         39      78      117  50%         50      100     150     200     250  33%         64      128     192     256     320     384 Note: Col and Cols refers to Column and Columns, respectively. These numbers may be different for a different display or for a different slide size.

Even though only a limited number of slides will show in these views, you can go into the presentation and see the rest of the slides individually by either using the PGDN or PGUP keys, using the Slide Changer tool, or by doing a Slide Show.
