View text on slides rather than previews in Slide Sorter?

You know the image that first appears when you switch to Slide Sorter sometimes, when quickly resolves into preview images of the actual slides?

In organizing slides, I would much prefer for the text to remain rather than resolve into the slide images. The previews in slide sorter are too small to read easily, even at 100%.

Can this be done?

If you just want to view the text on your slides, and you have been careful
to use the text placeholders for the titles and text body of each slide, you
can select Normal View and then switch to Outline mode (the second icon at
the top of the slide sorter pane). This won't show you any text you've added
using text boxes, though - only the placeholder text contents are displayed.

Hello, you can also add the "hide formatting" command from the commands well.

Goto View | Customize Toolbars and Menus
Click on the Commands tab
Under All commands, scroll down to "Show formatting" and drag that button to a toolbar, then click OK
switch to Slide Sorter view, then you can click the button to hide all formatting.
