PowerPoint: Moving a Slide
In this situation, we are moving Slide 2 in the position where Slide 1 currently resides.
All you need to do is move your mouse cursor over Slide 2 on the left side of the screen and
click the left-mouse button and hold the left mouse button down (See Example 1):
Note: Make sure you do not release the button until you move the mouse cursor over Slide
1 because it may not move the slide properly and you would need to start over.

versa (See Example 2).
