Summary

This chapter made you a master of files. You can now confidently create new presentations, and save, open, close, and delete PowerPoint presentation files. You can also save files in different formats, search for missing presentations, and lots more. This is rather utilitarian knowledge and not very much fun to practice, but later you will be glad you took the time to learn it, when you have important files you need to keep safe.

In the next chapter, you learn about slide layouts and text-based presentations. You also learn how to create your own layouts, and how to use the Outline pane to create the text that will form the basis of your message.
