Creating a New Presentation
When you first start PowerPoint, a new, blank presentation is created. The
simplest way to create a new presentation is to start PowerPoint and then
edit the blank presentation to your liking.
An alternative is to use the Office➪New command, which brings up the big
dialog box shown in Figure 1-3. This dialog box presents several ways to
create a new presentation:
 Blank Presentation: Double-click Blank Presentation to start a new pre-
sentation from scratch.
 Recently Used Templates: This section of the New Presentation dialog
box lists templates you’ve recently used to create presentations. You
can double-click any of these templates to create another presentation
based on the template.
