If you’re an experienced Windows and PowerPoint user, starting new presentations and saving files may be second nature to you. If so—great! You may not need this chapter. On the other hand, if you aren’t entirely certain about some of the finer points, such as saving in different formats or locations, stick around.

In this chapter, you’ll learn how to create, save, and reopen presentations file, and how to build a simple text-based presentation by creating new slides and entering text on them. You’ll learn how to import content from other programs and how to create, size, and position text boxes to hold the text for your presentation.
