Inserting slides in PowerPoint – how do I do this? Watch the video to learn more
Where is the new slide option found?
The new slide option can be found in two places within PowerPoint. Firstly it can be found on the Home Tab under the slides section of the ribbon. Then the second place it can be found is on the Insert Tab, again under the slides section of the ribbon.
Inserting a new slide
This can be done by clicking on the new slide button on either the Home or Insert tab. The main part of the button will insert the slide layout that was last inserted. The bottom part of the button will allow you to select the slide layout you wish to insert into your presentation.
Changing the slide layout
You are able to change the layout of the slide once you have inserted it. To do this, go to the Home tab and click on the layout button which is found next to the new slide button. This will allow you to select the slide layout you wish to change your slide to.
The video below shows you how to insert a new slide and also change the layout of an existing slide. Both of these are useful to know when creating your PowerPoint presentations.
