CREATING A NEW PRESENTATION                                          1


                 A presentation is made up of a series of slides. A single page of
                 the presentation is called a slide. A slide can have text, animation,
                 videos, sound effects and voice over. When many slides are run
                 together one after the other, it is called a slideshow. When you
                 start  PowerPoint,  the  program  automatically  starts  a  new
                 presentation for you and names it 'Presentation1'.

                 To create a new presentation, follow these steps:                            2
                 Step 1:  Click on File tab.
                 Step 2:   Click  on  Blank Presentation in the  Backstage
                         view.

                 A new presentation opens with a blank slide.


                      Creating the Title Slide
                 Whenever you start your presentation, the first slide which opens up is a Title slide by default.

                 A title slide displays the text placeholder, where the text is to be typed.


                 Entering Text in the Title Text Placeholder

                 To enter the text in a title text placeholder,
                 follow these steps:                                                                        Title Text
                 Step 1:   Click on the title text placeholder                                             Placeholder
                         box.
                 Step 2:   Type your text in the title text
                         placeholder box. For example,
                         in the image the text entered is
                         GREEN CITY CLEAN CITY.

                 The title text is displayed in the title text placeholder and in the Slides pane.

                 the next step in creating a title slide. To enter
                 the  text  in a subtitle  text  placeholder,  follow
                 these steps:                                                                             Subtitle Text
                                                                                                          Placeholder
