Yup. Choose View, Toolbars and make the Outlining toolbar visible. At the far
right, there's an "A/A" icon. Click it to toggle between formatted outline
text and text in a rather plain font.
Click in the outline view and use View, Zoom to change the zoom level for the
outline pane only.
Works like this in PPTX, I imagine 2004 shouldn't be too different.
