Not sure what I've done but the slides in the left-hand panel have reduced to microscopic size. How do we change the settings so that we can zoom up or down in this view?
Thanks for chiming in here, but this thread references Storyline - not Presenter or Powerpoint. For changes to how to view the slides in Storyline, folks may want to review the information here.
If I had a nickel for every time this happens to me, I could have bought my own island by now!
Why it happens? I have no earthly idea!
Solution 1: Drag the vertical separator between the main slide and the side panel to make it wider. If that doesn't work, drag it back and forth. Sometimes it "pops" and slides return to a normal size.
Solution 2: Close out all your slide view tabs and go back to Story View. Set the zoom (lower right) to 100%. Then double click a slide to relaunch it's Slide View.
Solution 3: Save and close. Relaunch the .story file.
I've even experienced the slides in Story View minimize to mere tiny icons before. It may be due to larger branching configuration of linking scenes and slides, but that's only a wild assumption on my part.
I just had this problem and typed "Storyline scene preview slides minimized" in a search engine. That brought me here and solved the problem in less than a minute. How great is that? Thanks Heroes! (for the small AND large problem fixes!)

Hi Rod,
You can click in the left panel and then, while holding down the ctrl key, scroll with the mouse wheel.
Hope it helps, have a nice day!

Thanks Annie, but that seems to enlarge the whole scrren, not just the size f the slides within the left hand panel in Normal view. ANy tips for tis?

Hi Rod,
It is strange because it works just fine for me. Just to make sure, click in the left panel again right before using the procedure...
Besides that, I don't know what could cause that problem. If it still doesn't work I suggest that you fill a bug report.
Have a nice day!
Annie
Thanks again Annie. Still no joy. I've filed a post with the support team.

In MS Powerpoint 2007, from Menu, select View.
Click on Left Pane, Click ZOOM. Select the % of zoom required.
It should do the magic.

That solved my problem. Thanks bunches, Annie!
