- So now that we've created our presentation,
let's go ahead and add some slides.
Now by default,
this particular theme has just one slide
and that's assumed to be the title slide.
So if we want, we can just click
in any one of these text boxes.
I'm going to click in the top box
and let's just go ahead and type in the word title.
And then if I click off the box,
you'll see that that particular text stays there.
Now, if we want to create a presentation,
we're going to need some additional slides.
So we can create those by going to this home menu
and just pressing this button that says new slide.
Now, the hot key for this is Ctrl + M.
So if I select this and click on it,
you can see it creates an additional slide.
Now this is not a title slide.
When you create a second slide in PowerPoint,
it's going to assume that the first one is the title
and the next one is what's called content.
So I'm going to go ahead and just change the title
of this to Content1.
Now, if I want, I can create additional slides.
So I'm going to click down here and you'll see,
we have this little bar below this content slide.
And I'm going to, again,
click on this and I'm going to click on this down arrow
here, and you'll see we have a number of different themes.
So I'm going to select the one called section header,
and this creates another slide with a different format.
So let's go ahead and type in Section 1.
So now I have a Title slide, Content, and a Section 1.
Well, let's say we needed additional slides.
Well, let's say I want a content slide
in between this one and the next section.
If I want to,
I can click in between the slides
and notice how this little bar comes up
and then I can either create a new slide
or I can use this pull down.
Now, if I hit new slide or hit Ctrl + M,
it will assume this new slide
has the same format as the previous one.
So in this case, this will be a content and title slide.
So I'm going to go ahead and just type in Content2.
So now I have a couple of different slides.
Let's go ahead and create another slide
below this Section 1.
So I'm going to go ahead and pull this menu down
and let's go ahead and create title and content.
And this is going to be called Content3.
Now, if I want to,
I can rearrange slides by clicking and dragging.
So I'm going to left click on this Content3 slide
and slide it up and notice how it gives me room
to put these other slides.
So I'm going to go ahead and put this one after Content2.
And this will allow me to move that around.
Now, if I want to,
I can shift select multiple slides and move those around.
So if I select all of these content slides
and move them down, I can certainly do that as well.
I can also duplicate slides.
So if I wanted to,
I could take Section 1, right click and hit duplicate slide.
Now, when I duplicate the slide,
it will actually duplicate everything within the slide,
including the text.
So in other words, this is Section 1
and we also have another one named Section 1.
So let's go ahead and change that to Section 2.
Now we can also duplicate multiple slides.
So if I want to,
I can select multiple slides and duplicate those,
or I can copy paste.
So if I want to, I can right click, hit copy,
and then select a place in my presentation,
let's say right after Section 1.
And then right click and hit paste.
And now I've got multiple slides and multiple sections.
So as you can see,
there's a whole lot of different ways to create, add,
and rearrange slides in PowerPoint.
