Adding and Deleting Slides
You can type slide text in the Outline pane to add new slides to the presentation. To promote a line of text to be its own slide, press Shift+Tab; to indent text to be subordinate to the text above it, press Tab. All new slides added using this method have the default Title and Text layout.
XREF | Chapter 4 discusses text manipulation in the Outline pane in more detail. |
You can also add new slides with the New Slide button on the Formatting toolbar. Clicking this button opens the Slide Layout task pane, from which you can select any layout desired (see Figure 1-16).
Figure 1-16: Add a new slide either by typing in the Outline pane or by clicking the New Slide button.
To delete a slide, display or select the slide and then choose Edit⇨Delete Slide. (There are other methods too; you can select it in the Slides pane or in Slide Sorter view, and press the Delete key on the keyboard, for example. You can also right-click it and choose Delete Slide.)
