Your first presentation, a nice example

To show you how Powerpoint is simple, we will make an example in 5 single steps.

  1. Choose a design
  2. First slide
  3. Insert text
  4. Add one slide or more
  5. Save

 

 

Choose a design

When PowerPoint opens, the following windows will appear (1)

It is composed of :

2) The central zone that allows you to directly select a theme or search for others on the Internet.

3) The sidebar with different options for the files you are creating. This is discussed in another chapter

4) To start, just choose a theme
