Slides, text, and notes

A blank slide can be daunting; don't let it be. Soon you'll feel comfortable filling it up.

here it sits in the middle of the PowerPoint window: a big, blank slide. "Click to add title," says the text on the screen. It sounds easy, but you've never done this before, and the blank canvas is daunting.

Note:
If you want the superfast method of creating a show — that is, the cake mix instead of the simple cake recipe from scratch — use the AutoContent Wizard. Steps for it are in the Quick Reference Card at the end of the course. By contrast, this course's lessons show you how to do all the basic stuff yourself.
