New to PowerPoint 2016 or upgrading from a previous version? Use this guide to learn the basics.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Powerpoint1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Create something<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n

Begin with a Blank Presentation <\/strong>to get right to work. Or save yourself a bunch of time by selecting and then customizing a template that resembles what you need. Click File <\/strong>> New<\/strong>, and then select or search for the template you want.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"Powerpoint2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Find recent files<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n

Whether you only work with files stored on your PC\u2019s local hard drive or you roam across various cloud services, clicking File <\/strong>> Open <\/strong>takes you to your recently used presentations and any files that you may have pinned to your list.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"Powerpoint3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Stay connected<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n

Need to work on the go and across different devices? Click File <\/strong>> Account <\/strong>to sign in and access your recently used files anywhere, on any device, through seamless integration between Office, OneDrive, OneDrive for Business, and SharePoint.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"Powerpoint4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Set your preferences<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n

Something not working quite as expected? It\u2019s easy to change and customize options at any time. Click File <\/strong>> Options<\/strong>, and then set up PowerPoint 2016 the way you want.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"Powerpoint5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Change your layout<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n

Good presentations adapt their structure to the points that are being presented. Switch things around on the fly to make them fit \u2014 literally or figuratively. On the Home <\/strong>tab, click Layout<\/strong>, and then browse through the available options. New slides will adopt your current choice, which you can just as easily replace with a new one.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"Powerpoint6\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Keep slide notes handy<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n

The cornerstone of any good factual presentation is the data that backs up your points. Avoid overwhelming your audience by front-loading every detail in your deck; instead, keep important facts and figures in the Notes <\/strong>pane for easy lookup \u2014 either while you rehearse, or in the heat of the moment.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"Powerpoint7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Format shapes with precision<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n

Achieve precise picture, shape, and object formatting with the comprehensive formatting tools in PowerPoint. Start by making a selection on your current slide. On the Home <\/strong>tab, in the lower right corner of the Drawing <\/strong>ribbon group, click the Format Shape <\/strong>button to open the task bar.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"Powerpoint8\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Share your work with others<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n

To invite others to view or edit your presentations in the cloud, click the Share <\/strong>button in the top right corner of the app window. In the Share <\/strong>pane that opens, you can get a sharing link or send invitations to the people you select.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"Powerpoint9\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Get help with PowerPoint<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n

Type a keyword or phrase into the Tell me what you want to do <\/strong>box on the ribbon to find the PowerPoint features and commands that you\u2019re looking for, read our online Help <\/strong>content, or perform a Smart Lookup <\/strong>on the Web.<\/p>\n
