 When
you start PowerPoint, you can get right to work entering content into your
title screen. To use the standard blank default format, just click in the
"Click to add title" box to add the title of your presentation, and do the
same for the subtitle (if your presentation lacks a subtitle because it is
not in the standard academic form of "Brief Title: Explanatory or pun-based
longer subtitle following the colon" you can just leave the subtitle box
blank).
The "Task Pane" to the right of the screen has lots of help
features such as a connection to "Office Online" help files, and a drop-down
menu for "Getting Started" which lists lots of options for formatting your
presentation in a variety of ways.
Once you are done with your formatting (or if you just want to
accept the defaults) you can click the upper right X to close the Task Pane and
give yourself more room on the screen to edit your slides. To bring the Task
Pane back, look under "View" on the main menu for "Toolbars" and click to select
"Task Pane."
