Change the slide layout
- [Instructor] Every theme, including new blank presentations, come with about nine different pre-set content placeholders to make adding content easy. These placeholders are called layouts. Clicking the down arrow next to New Slide on the Home ribbon tab will allow you to add a new slide using a different layout. For example, content with a caption, a comparison slide, a title and a content slide, etc. I'll add a two content layout. To use the placeholders, click once inside and start typing. You don't have to use all the placeholder text. Any unused text won't show up while presenting and I don't have to hit the Enter key. If I hit the Enter key, I'll get a new line which isn't what I want. I want to go to the next placeholder to start typing, so all I need to do is click right inside that one. And finally, I can click right inside the last one without hitting Enter also. I've used the placeholders to add my text, but what happens if you change your mind after you've added the text?…
