PowerPoint Slide layouts

Question

How do I choose a new slide layout in PowerPoint?

Answer

You can also choose a layout before you insert the slide. To do so:

1. Click New Slide
2. Below the slide icon on the Home tab. That displays the layout choices. 
   Note: The layouts in PowerPoint are more robust than before. Several of them include content placeholders, which you can use for either text or graphics. An example is the Title and Content layout. In the middle of its one placeholder, it includes this set of icons.
3. Click any of the icons to insert that type of content; a table, chart, SmartArt graphic, picture from a file, piece of clipart, or video file. You may also ignore the icons and type text, which this layout supports
4. On the Home tab, click the drop-down arrow next to the New Slide command
5. Click a layout to insert a slide with that layout
