Annotated PowerPoint 2002 (XP) screen in Normal view
The main difference in the way the screen looks between the 2000 and 2002 (XP) versions is the Task Pane
at the right side of the screen. This task pane changes according to the function that you have selected. For example, when you select "Insert New Slide" the task pane displays the various slide layouts which you may choose from. When you select "Custom Animation" the task pane displays the animation tools, and so on. You may also choose to close the task pane if you find it distracting (since it takes up space on the screen). You can always bring it back by selecting View Menu --> Task Pane.
Below is how the Normal View looks in the 2002 (XP) version. The other views look the same as in the 2000 version, only with the task pane at the right side.
