The PowerPoint Program window looks with the Outlining toolbar displayed. The Outlining toolbar button appears along the left edge of the Outline pane.
NOTE:
When you point to an Outlining toolbar button with the mouse pointer, PowerPoint displays the button name in a pop-up box. Use this trick if you are not sure which button is which.
Reading from top to bottom, the first two buttons on the Outlining toolbar—the Promote and Demote buttons—are for promoting or demoting outline text. To promote outline text, simply select the text and then click the Promote button. (The Promote button is the arrow that points left.) If you promote bulleted text, it moves up to the next higher level—probably to the level of a slide.
To demote text, predictably, select the text and click the Demote button. If you demote a slide title, the slide title becomes bulleted text on the preceding slide.
