Creating a Presentation PowerPoint opens with a blank presentation. Create a NEW presentation under the FILE tab. Start with a blank presentation, start with a theme, or start from a template.

Saving a Document Why save a presentation instead of just recreating it? Use “Save” to resave a document. Use “Save As” to save a document with a new name, a new file type or in a new location. Power outages, computer problems, annoying sisters, curious dogs… any of these can cause you to lose a document! AutoSave and AutoRecover might help in case of a saving emergency.
