Need Help with Slide Designs

[Squeakybunny24]

On the PC version of Microsoft Office it is possible to apply a slide
design to ONLY the current slide by right clicking on the slide design
and hitting apply to current slide, however, in the Mac version there
is no right click menu (yes i have a mighty mouse with the right click
feature activated, the right click menu just doesn't exist) and i
found that the only way to apply it to a single slide is to switch to
a different view (not sure what it was called at the moment but you
see all the slides as little squares in a window) and click on the
slide and then apply it (this is difficult though because even at the
max size it is very hard to see the content of the slide). Is there
any other way to do this? An easier way perhaps.



-Thanks

Have you tried Control+Click? Contextual menus are definitely available in
OS X apps - but I'm not sure whether the command you're seeking is there or
not & am not at a Mac to check. I've also found that in some cases
Control+Click works even when Right+Click doesn't. Even if not, I believe
you can do what you want through the regular menu - I think it's
Format>Slide Design. Perhaps the mighty mouse needs to have its Preferences
adjusted... My MS Trackball Optical has no problem with right-clicks once
the prefs are set.

What you are referring to is Slide Sorter View, but I think you can also do
what you want using the Formatting Palette.
