rather than in the Normal view. Whenever a user first creates a slide, the screen opens in the
Normal view. It is the default view and is used for designing. It provides a large view of a single slide
at a time. The Slide Show view is only used for viewing all the slides.

definitions of a color theme, font theme, and effect theme.
Answer option A is incorrect. The .ppsm extension is used to save a slide show that includes preapproved macros that a user can run from within a slide show.
Answer option D is incorrect. The .pptm extension is used to save a presentation that contains Visual
Basic code for applications.
