You build the rest of the presentation by adding slides, using the Add command on the Slide menu or the Add button on the tool bar.
You can choose from several slide styles, each with different placeholders for text and graphics. You can also add blank slides to your presentation if you want. Because they share the same template, each slide you add uses the same background as the previous slide, giving your presentation a consistent look.

A placeholder indicates where an object will be placed on a slide. Placeholders save you time because they
re already formatted and placed to be consistent with the template
s design. You don
t have to nudge them into position or worry about the font, size, and style of text they use (although you can change them if you want, of course).
You don
t have to wonder what to do with them, either. Each placeholder displays clear instructions for replacing it with your own information.

Worksheet
A link associates an object with an action, such as displaying a slide. Instead of just flipping through slides sequentially, you can show a slide out of sequence by linking an object on one slide to the slide you want to show (in the same presentation or another one). If you are showing your presentation on a computer, you can click the object to display the linked slide.de.splay the linked slide.
You can also use links to display hidden objects, play back sounds or animation, or even run another Windows application. Just click the linked object to carry out the action you defined.

Slide sorter view
Press Alt+F4 to Exit.n to Compel.
Each slide you add to a presentation is inserted after the current slide. Sometimes this is exactly what you want, but other times you
ll want to put slides in a different order.
You can rearrange slides easily in Compel
s slide sorter view. Slide sorter view is similar to a conventional light table such as photographers use. Compel shows the slides in your presentation in miniature, like photographic slides on a light table. You can move a slide by dragging it, select and move more than one slide at a time, or even delete a slide.
