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 ‘Presentation1’.
to create a new presentation, follow these steps:
Step 1: click on File tab. 2
Step 2: click on Blank Presentation 1
in the Backstage View.
A new presentation opens with a blank
slide.
Creating the Title Slide
whenever you start your presentation, text
the first slide which opens up is a Title Placeholder
slide by default. A title slide displays
the text placeholder, where the text
is to be typed.
