Slides tab disappeared and cannot be restored-HELP!

I am working Powerpoint 2000. In the vertical pane where one generally sees
Slides view by clicking on Slides tab, only the Outline view appears, and
without a Tab on the top of the pane. I am desperately seeking a way to
display the Slides tab. I tried to find the answer using Help/Office
Assistant, i.e."Click Normal View (Restore Panes) in the lower left corner
of the Microsoft PowerPoint window, or point to the left border of the window
and drag the splitter bar back to the right. " That did not accomplish
anything.
Please help!

The Slides and Outline tab was introduced in PowerPoint 2002 (XP).
PowerPoint 2000 had the Outline pane only. It did not have the Slides pane
or the tab on the top in the Normal view.
