Part 12. Getting Started with PowerPoint

You can use PowerPoint to plan every aspect of a winning presentation. PowerPoint even helps you organize the ideas in your presentation through its AutoContent Wizard, which quickly creates your presentation, including a title slide and several slides that help you come up with information.

PowerPoint lets you edit text and navigate, format, open, and close presentations at any time. You can also get creative in your slide presentations. For example, you can apply bulleted and numbered lists, change your slide layout, or even apply a design template. In addition, you can add, delete, or duplicate a slide at any time.

Office gives you the opportunity to create a new presentation each time you start PowerPoint, but you can create a new presentation at any time. Presentation documents consist of slides instead of pages (as in Word) or worksheets (as in Excel). You can add Word documents and Excel worksheets to your presentations, but for now, we'll stick to creating a simple new presentation.
