Now, to create a new slide, right click in this area to the left and just say New Slide. Now we're going to add a title to our new slide. We'll say Slide #1. Caught about myself. My name is Dave from Franklin, Tennessee. Now, let's create another slide. As you can see, it has the same blank format that we had before. Let's call this: My Last Slide.
