Join Richard Harrington for an in-depth discussion in this video Changing the format of slides, part of PowerPoint: From Outline to Presentation.
…After you've moved that initial outline into PowerPoint,…invariably some of the default slides won't work.…But that's okay, you'll find multiple layouts…available within a theme or a template.…Choosing the right one will improve the visual presentation of your text.…Let's go through quickly and clean up this presentation.…On the left, I see my outline and…on the right, a visual representation of my slides.…You'll note…that on the Home tab, you do have layout. And this allows you to change the layout.…So, for example, I could switch what this looks like.…
I'm going to go for a Title slide.…And that looks a lot better, but I want to wrap this text here, so I'll press Return.…Now, that made it another slide.…So, let's choose Undo for a second, and press Shift + Enter.…And you'll see that, that wrapped it down to a new line.…Now, I could decide that I wanted that to be a subtitle.…So, if that was the case pressing Return…followed by Tab would've been the correct choice.…And you see that it quickly reformatted the slide to work.…
