Quick Reference

The slide organizer lets you
group slides or hide the ones
you don’t need.

Themes and master slides make
it easy to get started creating a
well-designed presentation.

Dynamic alignment guides allow you
to align objects perfectly.

Format tables, charts, text,
shapes, and more using
the eight inspector panes.

Stunning tables and
charts help present
data more clearly.

Position tags help you
place objects precisely
on the slide.

Object builds create a

dynamic presentation. You set

the order in which you want
items to appear on the slide.

Create your masterpiece.
