Question

It is my first time using PowerPoint. I have just completed page seven, but I need more pages. How do I get more?

Community Answer

Click on the tab, "Home," on the top left of your PowerPoint window and then find "New Slide" in the second section, "Slides," which is now shown below the tabs. You can then either click on the symbol to simply add a slide or click the little arrow to decide between different slide layouts.

Question

What is the importance of slide presentations for grade school students?

Community Answer

Slide presentations are greatly important for school students, most projects require them as visual aids, or sometimes the entire project IS the slide presentation. If you put enough effort into your presentation, it will dramatically improve your grade, which opens up your options to different colleges and careers!

Question

I want to present one slide on time spent on various work done. How will I get the right bullet point?

Community Answer

I suggest doing a separate slide for each topic and not using bullet points but instead a picture or small explanation on your screen to not distract your audience. I avoid bullet points, which I think seem sort of unprofessional.
