Getting started (making a presentation)

To start a presentation or PowerPoint
project:

  • Start new and design from scratch
  • Use a template
  • Use a guided wizard
  • Use a template or guided wizard and modify it (quickest!)

For the purposes of this exercise, we’ll start from scratch, but use some pre-built features such as color schemes and graphics.

START

File>New

The New document sidebar menu should popup

Choose New> Blank Presentation

Note:

From Design Template will bring up a list of pre-designed templates

From AutoContent Wizard will bring up preformatted PowerPoint presentations,
which can serve as good examples

New from Existing Presentation will clone a presentation on your computer/disk/flash drive that you have already created

Any of these can be used and then modified to suit your content
