Basic tasks for creating a PowerPoint 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 help you build your story.

Choose a theme

When you open PowerPoint, you'll see some built-in themes and templates. A theme is a slide design that contains matching colors, fonts, and special effects like shadows, reflections, and more.

  1. On the File tab of the Ribbon, select New, and then choose a theme.

    PowerPoint shows you a preview of the theme, with four color variations to choose from on the right side.

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