Let's add a slide and change the slide's layout

Let's add a new slide to a presentation.
When you add the next slide after the Title Slide, a slide with a suitable layout for entering presentation content is added. If necessary, you can change this layout to another layout.

1. Click New Slide in Slides on the Home tab.

   

2. A slide is added after the Title Slide. A text box where you can type in the title and a text box where you can type in the content are provided.

   

3. Change the layout of the slide you added. Let's change the layout to a layout that lets you lay two text boxes next to each other and compare content.

   Click Layout in Slides on the Home tab, and then click Comparison.

   

4. The slide layout changes.

   

5. Type text in the slide you added as shown below.

   

6. Do the same thing to add a new slide after the slide you just added.

   

7. A slide is added.

   

   Tip: The slide layout is different than before? Except for the slide added after the Title Slide, slides you add have the same layout as the previous page's slide. The previous page's slide used the Comparison layout so this slide uses the same Comparison layout.
