Slides

To add a slide into a presentation, do one of the following:

•On the Slide menu, select New slide.

•On the Toolbar, click the  Slide button and select the template of a new slide from the drop-down list.

•On the context menu of the Navigation bar, select New slide.

•Click New slide on the Navigation bar or the button to the right of the New slide button. In the opened menu, select the template of a new slide or create a new slide, if needed.

•On the Insert menu, select Slide. Select the new slide template in the menu that opens (or create an empty slide, if necessary).

•Click New slide on the workspace (available if all slides in the presentation are deleted).

When you create a new slide using the context menu command that you execute from the Navigation bar, a new slide will be created depending on where you click the mouse button:

•In the beginning of the presentation if you click the upper part of the first slide.

•Between slides, that is, after a slide where you opened the context menu by clicking the lower part of the slide, and before a slide where you opened the context menu by clicking the upper half of the slide.

•In the end of the presentation if you click the lower part of the last slide.

The slide inserted using the context menu becomes the slide you will be working on.

Instead of creating a new slide from an empty template, it may be more convenient to duplicate a slide already existing in your presentation. To duplicate a slide, do the following:

1.In the Navigation bar, select the slide you want to duplicate.

2.Duplicate the slide in one of the following ways:

•On the Command menu, select Slide > Duplicate.

•Right-click the slide thumbnail on the Navigation bar and in the context menu select Duplicate.

To cut a slide with all the elements on it from the presentation, do the following:

1.On the Navigation bar, select the slide that you want to cut.

2.Do one of the following:

•On the Edit menu, select Cut.

•On the Toolbar, click the Cut button.

•On the Navigation bar, click the slide thumbnail to open the context menu and select Cut.

•Use the Ctrl+X ( Cmd+X) keyboard shortcut.

As a result, the entire slide with all the objects inside it will be put to the clipboard of the operating system and deleted from the presentation.

Instead of creating a new slide, it may be more convenient to copy and paste an existing slide in your presentation. To make a copy of a slide:

1.On the Navigation bar, select the slide that you want to copy.

2.Copy the slide in one of the following ways:

•On the Edit menu, select Copy.

•On the Toolbar, click the Copy button.

•On the Navigation bar, click the slide thumbnail to open the context menu and select Copy.

•Use the Ctrl+C ( Cmd+С) keyboard shortcut.

When copying, the entire selected slide with all the elements inside it is placed on the clipboard of the operating system, while the slide being copied remains in the presentation and does not change.

To perform the Paste operation, the slide to be inserted must be on the clipboard of the operating system, that is, it must have been previously copied or cut from the current presentation.

You can insert a slide from the clipboard in one of the following ways:

•On the Edit menu, select Paste.

•On the Toolbar, click the Paste button.

•On the Navigation bar, open the context menu and select Paste. To paste via the context menu, give the browser permission to access the clipboard.

•Press Ctrl+V ( Cmd+V).

When pasting, the entire slide with all elements inside it from the operating system's clipboard is pasted after the slide selected in the Navigation bar.

When you insert a slide using the context menu command on the Navigation bar, a new slide will be inserted depending on where you click:

•After the slide selected in the Navigation bar on which the context menu was opened.

•To a specified place: When calling the context menu between slides or after all slides.

To delete a slide, do one of the following:

•Select the slide and choose Slide > Delete in the Command menu
