Basic tasks for creating a PowerPoint 2013 presentation

PowerPoint presentations work like slide shows. To convey a message or a story, you break it down
into slides. Think of each slide as a blank canvas for the pictures, words, and shapes that will help you
build your story.

matching colors, fonts, and special effects like shadows, reflections, and more.

1. Choose a theme.

2. Click Create, or pick a color variation and then click Create.

On the Home tab, click New Slide, and pick a slide layout.

Save your presentation

1. On the File tab, click Save.
