When I'm working in Normal View with the slides along the left pane, the
slide that I'm currently working on has a darker border around it. Sometimes
it's very difficult to see this border. Is there a way to adjust this to
either make the border wider or to change the color?

Not that I am aware. You can however make the thumbnails larger by
increasing the pane size. Move your mouse over the border of the main screen
and the thumbnail pane. when the cursor changes to something like this <ll>
drag the pane until the thumbnails become large enough for you to work with.

Thanks. I do know how to make the thumbnails larger, but I was hoping for a
way to highlight them better without enlarging them. I want to keep the
slide in use and my notes as large as possible while still being able to
easily move from slide to slide in the pane.

Andrea,
Don't know if I understand your problem correctly, but are you talking about
the grey area surrounding the slide?
If it is that then it is probably a matter of adjusting the zoom percentage,
you can find it in the standard toolbar.

No, it's not the area around the slide (if you mean the part that is outside
the slide.) It's the actual design of the oval. I can't find an example
anymore, or I'd look to see how they did it.There was a paragraph of text,
and then it looked like a line was drawn around a key word or phrase in a
counter-clockwise direction. The line formed an oval--although not a perfect
one--so that the "oval" didn't close completely and the end of the line
continued slightly beyond and higher than the start point.

Sorry--I responded to another thread! In THIS thread, what I'm talking about
is the border around the slide in the pane for the particular slide that I'm
currently working on. I thought that if I increased the zoom in the pane, it
would make the size of the slide I'm working on too small. However, I just
tried that and it actually doesn't decrease it significantly--and it does
make the highlighted slide in the pane more apparent. Thanks. What I can't
seem to figure out is is increasing the zoom the same thing as increasing
the width of the pane?
