Secret shortcut

You can edit a PowerPoint slide show and see a miniature version of the show at the same time.
In Normal view, select a slide. Hold down the Ctrl key and click on the "Slide show from current slide" icon at the lower left of the screen above the Draw toolbar.

A small model of the show will appear in the upper left corner of the screen. Click in the slide window to make changes, and the click "Resume slide show" to continue.

Also:

You can also get a slide miniature view left over from earlier versions.

To create a button or command for the view, do the following:

On the Tools menu, click Customize, and then click the Commands tab.
In the Categories list, click View.
From the Commands list, drag the Slide Miniature button to the menu or toolbar you want to add it to (a menu displays when you point to its name on the menu bar). A plus sign appears on the pointer, and a black line indicates where the command will be placed.
Click Close.
Click the button or command to activate slide miniature view.

Note In many ways, the slide thumbnails that appear on the Slides tab in PowerPoint serve the function of the original slide miniature view. You can use them to keep in view a full, miniature version of the slide and to view slide transitions and animation effects.
