The window that first opens in PowerPoint has a big working space in the middle, with smaller areas around it. That middle space is the slide area, officially called the slide pane. Working in this space, you type text directly onto the slide. The area you type into is a box with a dashed border called a placeholder. All the text that you type onto a slide resides in a box like this. Most slides include one or more placeholders for titles, body text such as lists or regular paragraphs, and other content such as pictures or charts.

Adding New Slides
When PowerPoint opens, there's only one slide in the show. It's up to you to add the rest. Add them as you go or several at a time, as you prefer.
Two quick methods for adding a slide:1. On the Slides tab in the left of the
window, either click the slide thumbnail that you want the new slide to follow, and then press ENTER. Or:
2. Right-click the slide thumbnail that you want the new slide to follow, and then click New Slide on the shortcut menu.

Adding Speaking Notes
As you put text on your slides, type your speaker notes (if you want any) in the notes pane, below the slide.
As the picture shows, you can enlarge the notes pane so that it's easier to work in. Your notes are saved in a notes page, which you can print before the show. 1. Notes pane in normal view.
2. Drag the split bar up to enlarge the notes pane, then type your note text.
3. The notes page layout as seen in notes view or when the notes are printed.

As you create slides, you'll confront the issue of where to place the things you want on them. PowerPoint tries to help you here by displaying slide layouts to choose from each time you add a slide.The layout, when applied, arranges content to fit into a specific combination of placeholders. For example, if you know you'll have text on the slide and you also want a picture or graphic of some kind, choose a layout that supplies the placeholder types and arrangement that you want.
