When you open Microsoft PowerPoint, it automatically creates a presentation with one slide with two text boxes in it. You can add content to the slide by clicking on the text box and entering whatever it is you want to add. Then click outside the box to make the text box disappear. You can make changes to the content that you add in the slide by the different options available in the ribbon. You can also add or delete different kinds of slides from the presentation from the ribbon too. Given below is a list of different commands available from the various menus.
- Home: Clipboard operations, slide manipulation, typefaces, paragraph settings, drawing objects, and editing operations are all available.
- Insert: Tables, photographs, images, forms, charts, unique texts, multimedia, and symbols can all be inserted.
- Design: Design the layout of the slides, the orientation of the slides, the presentation themes, and the background.
- Transitions: Commands for transitioning from one slide to the next.
- Animations: Commands that control the animation of individual slides.
- Slide Show: Commands for setting up and previewing slideshows.
- Review: Content proofing, language selection, comments, and presentation comparison are all things that need to be reviewed.

Apart from this, other menu tabs can also be enabled depending on the editing needs of the user.

If you are saving the file for the first time, a dialog box will pop up asking the location to save the file in. Choose your location and click on Save.
