Formatting a presentation
A new presentation only contains one empty slide. In this section we will start adding
new slides and preparing them for the intended contents.
Inserting slides
This can be done in a variety of ways:
• Insert > Slide.
• Right-click on the present slide, and select Slide > New Slide from the pop-up
menu.
• Click the Slide icon in the Presentation toolbar.
Sometimes, rather than starting from a new slide you want to duplicate a slide you
have already inserted. To do so select the slide you want to duplicate from the Slides
pane and then choose Insert > Duplicate Slide.
Selecting a layout
In the Tasks pane, select the Layout drawer to display the available layouts. The
Layouts differ in the number of elements a slide will contain, from a blank slide to a
slide with six contents boxes and a title.
The first slide in a presentation is normally a title slide. The Title Slide (which also
contains a section for a subtitle) or Title Only are suitable layouts for the first slide,
while for most of the slides you will probably use the Title, Contents layout.
To create the title, click on Click to add title (assuming the Blank Slide layout was not
used) and then type the title text. To adjust the formatting of the title, modify the
Title presentation style; see Chapter 2 (Using Slide Masters, Styles, and Templates)
for instructions.
