How to switch a powerpoint email from slides to outline - no tab

[Guest]

I received an email from my professor that is 23 powerpoint slides. I want to
convert it to tha outline form for printing, since I'd rather print 3 pages,
not 23. The usual slides tab is not on the page he sent, and the only other
choices are the usual powerpoint formatting options when you are producing a
powerpoint presentation. Is there any way I can turn this monster into a
simple outline? HELP!
I have Windows xp.

dbl,
Do you have PowerPoint? If so, open the presentation in PPT and go to the
View menu. You should see an entry on that menu to change the view to
"Normal (Restore Panes)". Use that view and see if your menu pane shows up
again. As an aside, if you have PPT, you can use File--> Print to print the
outline by changing the Print What drop down from slides to Outline.

One final note: If the professor didn't put the slide text in the
placeholders (if text boxes were used instead), you won't be able to print
the outline as there isn't one.
