•Microsoft PowerPoint comes with different views to help you while you are creating a presentation. The two main views you use in PowerPoint are normal view and slide sorter view. To easily switch between views, you click the buttons at the lower left of the PowerPoint window.

Adding text

• Most often, the easiest way to add text to a slide is to type it directly into any placeholder on the slide. If you want to add text outside a placeholder or shape, you can use the Text Box button on the Drawing toolbar. You can also add text to an AutoShape or add a WordArt drawing object for a special text effect.

Auto Layout - Design Templates

• Design templates contain color schemes, slide and title masters with custom formatting and styled fonts, all designed to create a particular look. When you apply a design template to your presentation, the slide master, title master, and color scheme of the new design replaces the slide master, title master, and color scheme of the original presentation. After you apply a design template, each slide you add has the same custom look.
