Create a basic presentation in four steps

Why?

You can quickly create the basic framework for a professional-looking presentation by applying a theme for a unified look, adding new slides with various slide layouts, and then adding visual interest by applying a slide transition to all slides.

How?

On the Themes tab, under Themes, click the theme that you want.

Themes tab, Themes group

To see more themes, point to a theme, and then click More Down Arrow.

On the Home tab, under Slides, click New Slide.

Home tab, Slides group

To choose a different slide layout when you add a new slide, click the arrow next to New Slide and then click the slide layout you want.

On the Transitions tab, under Transition to This Slide, click the transition that you want.

Transitions tab, Transition to This Slide group

To see more transitions, point to a transition, and then click More Down Arrow.

On the Transitions tab, under Apply To, click All Slides.

Transitions tab, Apply to group

Now that you have this basic framework in place, you can type the text for your slides, and add any other objects or media to the slides to complete the presentation.
