How to Add a Slide in Powerpoint
While the Microsoft Powerpoint software can't do much to aid people who are afraid of giving public presentations, it is set up to assist those designers creating the actual slideshows. Powerpoint makes tasks such as adding new slides as simple as a single click. Use the feature to create slides for presentation placeholders, start setting up a new slideshow or to augment an existing presentation slide by slide.
