Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 : Creating New Slides (part 1) - Creating New Slides from the Outline Pane

11/25/2013 3:28:14 AM

Different templates start a presentation with different numbers and types of slides. A blank presentation has only a single slide, and you must create any others that you want.

There are several ways to create new slides. For example, you can type new text in the outline and then promote it to slide status, or you can add slides with the New Slide button that is on the Home tab. You can also copy existing slides, either within the same presentation or from other sources. The following sections outline these procedures in more detail.

1. Creating New Slides from the Outline Pane

The Outline pane shows the text from the presentation's slides in a hierarchical tree, with the slide titles at the top level (the slide level) and the various levels of bulleted lists on the slides displaying as subordinate levels. Text that you type in the Outline pane appears on the slide, and vice versa, as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1. When you type text into the Outline pane, it automatically appears on the current slide.


Follow these steps to create a new slide from the Outline pane:

  1. Switch to Normal view and display the Outline pane (as in Figure 1) if it does not already appear.

  2. Right-click the existing line on the Outline pane that the new slide should follow.

  3. Click New Slide. A new line appears in the Outline pane, with a slide symbol to its left.

  4. Type the title for the new slide. The title appears both in the Outline pane and on the slide.

You can also create a new slide by starting a new line in the Outline pane and then promoting it to slide level by pressing Shift+Tab. Follow these steps to insert a new slide in this way:

  1. Position the insertion point at the end of the last line of the slide that the new slide should follow, and press Enter to start a new line.

  2. Press Shift+Tab to promote the new line to the highest level (press it multiple times if needed), so that a slide icon appears to its left.

  3. Type the title for the new slide. The title appears both in the Outline pane and on the slide.

After creating the slide, you can continue creating its content directly in the Outline pane. Press Enter to start a new line, and then use Tab to demote, or Shift+Tab to promote, the line to the desired level. You can also right-click the text and choose Promote or Demote. Promoting a line all the way to the top level changes the line to a new slide title.

2. Creating a Slide from the Slides Pane

Here's a very quick method for creating a new slide, based on the default layout. It doesn't get much easier than this:

  1. In Normal view, in the Slides pane, click the slide that the new slide should follow.

  2. Press Enter. A new slide appears using the Title and Content layout. You can also right-click the slide that the new one should follow and choose New Slide.

The drawback to creating a slide in either of these ways is that you cannot specify the layout. To choose a layout other than the default one, see the next section.
