Reorder slides

Reorder slides in Microsoft PowerPoint — with the four heights of help laid out: do it now, make it easier for the next person to accept, work out the right move when you are stuck, and learn the pattern so it stops coming back.

The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

The deck needs to flow for Monday's board review. Move the Market Summary slide and the Competitor Matrix to sit right after the Executive Summary, keeping their internal order, so the first five slides present the topline argument before any data. Run through the first slide transition to ensure headers match the new sequence and the deck still starts on slide one.

Improve — make it easier to accept

Before I hand this to Sarah for narrative edits, reorder slides so the argument builds: put the Opportunity slide, then Customer Evidence, then Financials. Make it obvious to a reviewer where assumptions live by adding a slide note that flags any data moved from appendices. Surface slides that now contradict the Executive Summary and mark them for attention.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment

I just shuffled slides and the story feels off

I moved the Competitor Matrix up but the Strategic Recommendation now lacks a bridge. I am worried reviewers will think we hid bad numbers. I cannot tell which supporting evidence the partners expect to see before the recommendation. What likely caused the disconnect and what is the quickest reorder or short-add I should make so the recommendation reads as supported?

Become — change the pattern

Slides get rearranged late and the narrative unravels

Across three decks this quarter I keep having to reorder slides at the last minute and the message weakens. I lose time hunting evidence and redoing headers. Which simple habits will stop this — how should I plan slide sequences earlier, name files, and set a quick checklist so reorders don't break claims or create mismatched headers?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
