On the Outline tab, the bullet changes into an icon for slide 3.

When you create a slide on the Outline tab, the new slide is displayed in the Slide pane.


  1. Type Preparing for a Buying Trip, press Enter, and then press Tab.

  2. Type Know your needs, and then press Enter.

  3. On the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, click the Increase List Level button.


PowerPoint creates a subpoint.
Tip You can use the Increase List Level button to change slide titles to bullet points and
bullet points to subpoints, both in the Slide pane and on the Outline tab. You can also
use the Decrease List Level button to change subpoints to bullet points and bullet points
to slide titles in both places. However, when you’re entering text on the Outline tab, it’s
quicker to use keys—Tab and Shift+Tab—to perform these functions than it is to take
your hands off the keyboard to use your mouse.
