2. So Easy to Add a New Slide
Powerpoint tells you where to type
Works just like MS Word
Anyone can create a simple presentation
Good place to show how to change colors, using the Design Tab. Switch from Verve to Oriel and watch how all the graph/chart colors change throughout the slides.
Try changing to a new theme like Concourse and not only do colors change but slide format changes as well. Switch to Opulent and you will need to adjust your slides to accommodate the stripe down the right side.
You can also change fonts – you may need to make adjustments to your slides as the font size changes. Switch to Civic and then to Equity. You can see the text is smaller in the tables.

3. More Text Features Shadow fonts Strikethrough fonts
Use Shape Fill to change the color of the text box.
Shape Outline adds an outer edge
Shape Effects can add a glow
Both the Shadow Fonts and the Strikethrough Fonts are available on the font section of the Home tab. The Shadow Fonts aren’t very visible with a smaller font size.
