Creating
a New Slide
- If you click
on the New Slide button on the Formatting toolbar,
you will automatically create a new slide with the default Title
and Text layout.
|
 |
|
- Also when you
click on this button, the Slide Layout panel will open on
the right hand side of your screen. You can use this panel to adjust
the type of slide that you want to create. For more information on
the different slide layouts and the Slide Layout panel you
should see "Slide Layout Document Title Replaces this text.

Another option for adding
a slide is the Outline Tab which allows you to type out your presentation
as an outline and adds a slide for each major topic.
To add a slide in the
Outline Tab:
- While in Normal view,
which is the default view for PowerPoint when you open the program,
you can add slides while using the Outline tab. You can also
reach normal view if you are in another view by choosing the View>Normal menu
option.
|
 |
- With your document
open in Normal view, click on the Outline Tab.
|
 |
- Next click at
the bottom of the text for the slide you wish to insert a new slide
after.
|
 |
- Press the <ENTER> key
on your keyboard. This should create another line in the Outline tab.
|
 |
- Now hold down
the <SHIFT> key and press the <TAB> key
until you see another slide icon next to your cursor. You have now
created a new slide of the Title and Text layout.
