[183c]This chapter explains how to create and manipulate slide views. Later chapters explain how to edit individual slides (Chapter 10), and how to play a slide show on-screen (Chapter 11).
[207c]One of the most important points covered here is the relationship between topics and slides. You'll also find that there are many similarities between working with slide views and working with outline views.
[152c]A slide view is a graphical representation of the topic hierarchy of a document. Each topic in a document can be displayed as a slide, a graphical page.
[281c]As described in more depth in Chapter 6, Documents and Views, a Concurrence document is a collection of topics. A topic is a piece of text, usually one or two sentences. A topic can have subtopics, or children. Each child is a topic in its own right, and can have children in turn.
[201c]The topic that corresponds with a slide is displayed as the slide's title. Subtopics are displayed also, as the body of the slide. Chapter 10 explains how to add graphics to and otherwise edit a slide.
[16c]What are Slides?
[139c]You work with a collection of slides in a slide view. A slide view has three main areas-a master sorter, a slide sorter, and a slide pane.
[116c]To create a new slide view of an existing document, open the document and choose New Slide View from the View menu.
[200c]You can also choose to use slide views when you create new documents, as explained in the Preferences section of Chapter 14, Info. For more on documents in general, see Chapter 6, Documents and Views.
[11c]Slide Views
[262c]A slide view's slide sorter lets you browse through slides that you have created. The sorter displays a smaller version, or minislide of each slide in the view. When you select a minislide in the sorter, the slide itself appears to the right, in the slide pane.
[239c]As mentioned above, each topic in a document can be displayed as a slide in a slide view. Because of this, the minislides in a slide sorter behave much like topics in an outline view, described in detail in Chapter 7, Basics of Outlining.
[229c]For example, you select minislides by clicking them, shift-clicking them, or clicking and dragging on the background of their slide sorter. Also, minislides may be expanded and collapsed, promoted and demoted, and dragged around.

[96c]Most of the commands in the Topic menu apply to slide sorters and minislides. Those that do are:
[62c](These commands are described in detail in Chapter 21, Topic.)
[292c]The shortcuts that apply to outline views and topics also work with slide sorters and minislides. That is, pressing the Return Key is the same as choosing New Topic; Tab and Shift-Tab perform Demote and Promote, respectively; and double-clicking a parent minislide will expand or collapse it.
The Slide Sorter
Like the topics they correspond to, slides can have subslides, or children. Parent and child slides share some text.
A topic serves as the title of its slide. The topic's children also appear on the slide, as the items in its body text. If you edit a child's title, you'll see that its parent's body text changes too.
For more on editing the text of a slide, read the following chapter, Editing Slides.
[20c]Parents and Children
[66c]Using the master sorter is explained in Chapter 12, Master Slides.
