Create a new presentation
When creating a PowerPoint presentation, you have several options, including the following:
- Create a blank presentation that consists only of a title slide, add slides and slide content, and then format the presentation.
- Import a list of slide titles from a text document, add slide content and a title slide, and then format the presentation.
- Import slide titles and content from a Microsoft Word file, add a title slide, and then format the presentation.
- Create a preformatted or prepopulated presentation based on a local or online template.
When PowerPoint is running, you can create a blank or prepopulated presentation from the New page of the Backstage view.
By default, a new presentation includes only a title slide. You can add blank content slides to the presentation, or copy or move slides from another presentation.
To create a blank presentation
- Start PowerPoint.
- Then do one of the following:
- On the start screen, press Esc or click Blank Presentation.
- On the New page of the Backstage view, click Blank Presentation.
- From the program window, press Ctrl+N.
