Select a “body” slide:

  • Scroll down the left-hand side panel and view all the “body” slides. You’ll find a variety of different ways to present your information, including tables and graphs

  • The first “body” slide is most generic and is a good starting point

  • Delete the other “body” slides

 

Create a new slide:

  • Right click on the “body” slide on the left-hand side panel

  • Select "New Slide"

The new slide will be in the same format as the one you right clicked on.
