SUMMARY
Microsoft has created a PowerPoint add-in that automatically changes the default view in Microsoft PowerPoint 2000 from the new, normal view (tri-pane view), to slide view (the default view in Microsoft PowerPoint 97 and earlier).

Note This add-in has the same effect as holding down CTRL and clicking the Slide View button on the QuickView toolbar (in the lower-left corner of the PowerPoint window).



How to Obtain the Add-in
The following file is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center:
