Shortcuts for easy navigating in the Reading view and Slide Show view
Reading view is useful when you would like to see your presentation like it will be shown in the Slide Show view, but the Reading view allows to see the presentation in the current sized window (not a full screen). The options you have for advancing through this view are almost identical to the options you have when viewing the presentation in Slide Show view.

- On the View tab, in the Presentation Views group, click the Reading View button:

- Go to the previous slide – just click P
To close the Reading view, do one of the following:
- Just click Esc,
- Select End Show in the Menu of the Reading view navigation bar:
