Introduction:

Hello kids, Greetings to you from @josepha. I trust you are doing well with your loved ones. As I always love writing, today I am here again to talk about another interesting topic in PowerPoint presentation. In our previous discussion, we learned about the PowerPoint User Interface. In this very post, you are going to learn about PowerPoint presentations, like how you can create a new presentation and many more. Let's get started.

Presentations are created in PowerPoint. In order for you to begin a new project in PowerPoint, you must first create a new presentation. This presentation can either be completely blank or based on a template. You'll also need to know how to open a presentation that is already open on your computer.
