SYMPTOMS

If you drag the slide miniature window to the Windows taskbar, it is difficult to select the window to drag it back to the PowerPoint workspace.

CAUSE

If you drag the slide miniature window to the taskbar, it actually goes behind the taskbar. When you try to click it, you select the taskbar instead.

WORKAROUND

If you close PowerPoint and restart it, the slide miniature window appears within the PowerPoint workspace again.

You can also drag the Windows taskbar to another edge of your screen. Then you can select the slide miniature and move it.

Alternatively, you can configure the Windows taskbar to autohide. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. Right-click a blank area of the taskbar, and then click Properties on the menu that appears.
  2. Click to select the autohide check box.
  3. Click OK.
Now the taskbar shrinks to a narrow bar, and you can select your Slide Miniature.
