I have created a blank presentation, using the File menu, and then selected New, and Blank presentation

new-powerpoint-file-Powerpoint.training — Create a new file using the File menu, select New, then Blank Document.

PowerPoint gives me one slide. Now I know I’m going to need at least three slides for my presentation, so I want to add two more slides.

I use the ribbon, I’m already in the Home tab, so I select the New Slides icon, if I click on the picture of a new slide, one new slide is inserted.

The Insert Slide icon makes it really easy to add to your presentation.

I get a new blank slide. I want to add another one, so I click on the icon again, and now I have three pages in my presentation.

Then next job is to add the layout to my new slides.
I select the the second slide, and use my right mouse click to bring up some options for formatting, I select Layout.

This gives me a drop down menu of slide formats, I can slide my cursor over these to preview the format, and when I am happy I click the layout I want.

I can repeat this with the third slide, using the same method. I can change the format at any time using the ‘right click, Layout method’.

Here’s a quick way to create a check list to print out.

Type your list in Word, then select all the text. Now you can add the bullet points.

In the Home tab, select the down arrow next to the bullet point (located in the paragraph section of the ribbon). You can roll over the different bullet points and the screen will preview the change on the page for you. When you find the shape you like, (I’m using the box shape) click to select.

bullet-point-options-Word-2010 — Bullet point options can be tailored to create your check list.

The list will automatically update the list and you now have a check list you can print out and use.

Simple-checklist-using-bullet-points-in-Word-2010-Word-Course — The final list can be printed off and used as a reminder.

There are different styles of bullet points to choose from, and if you want to experiment with these – click on the down arrow next to the bullet point on the ribbon. Select “Define New Bullet” and select the shape you want.
