                        CREATING A NEW PRESENTATION

                 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 calls it 'Presentation 1'.
                 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.

                 of media to a PowerPoint presentation, make it more attractive and presentable. PowerPoint allows

                 your audience engaged in your presentation.
