Adding New Slides

Unlike working with a word processing application, you have to explicitly add each new page (slide) in PowerPoint that you want to include in your presentation. Several different methods for adding a new slide are available. To create a new slide, simply use one of the following methods . Try each method until you find the one that works best for you.

• Choose Insert, New Slide from the main menu.

• Press the Ctrl+M key combination.

• Click the New Slide button on the Standard toolbar.

• Select Common Tasks, New Slide from the Formatting toolbar.

PowerPoint adds a new slide after the slide that is currently displayed, as opposed to the end of the presentation. You can easily move slides around later.
