Adding Slides

After you create a presentation, you may want to add new slides. To add a new slide to an open presentation, click the New Slide button on the Formatting toolbar or press Ctrl+M. PowerPoint adds a new slide immediately following the current slide and opens the Slide Layout task pane. Select the slide layout you want to use; PowerPoint applies that layout to the slide (see Figure 6.1).

→ To learn more about each layout type, see “Understanding Slide Layouts” in Chapter 2, “Creating a Basic Presentation.”
