  • Click DESIGN for page setup, slide orientation, and themes.

  • Use the TRANSITIONS tab to use fades or wipes, the ANIMATIONS tab to make things move, and the SLIDE SHOW tab to start and run a presentation.

  • Use the REVIEW tab to add comments, check spelling, and share your presentation, and the VIEW tab to switch between views.

Save your files

  • Click FILE > Save As.

  • Select a location for your file and click Save.

  • If you use Microsoft 365 or OneDrive, click Add a place, click the service you want to use, and then, log in.
