How to Rearrange Slides Using Microsoft PowerPoint

When it comes to preparing a presentation, the first tool that comes to your mind is Microsoft Powerpoint. There are many things about PowerPoint that you should understand and managing the slides is an important one of them. The order or the sequence of the slides needs to be right otherwise the content would seem meaningless. The introductory slide should be in the beginning of the presentation while the conclusion should be the last slide of the presentation. You can make the slides in any order but before the final compilation, you need to set the order right.
