application that allows you to create
dynamic slide presentations similar to
Microsoft PowerPoint these presentations
can include animations images videos and
much more to get started click the new
button

want to take a minute to explore the
interface and learn your way around the
different tools and features including
the menu and shortcut toolbars zoom
settings and choosing a theme first we
have the tool bar where you can access
different shortcuts that let you work
with your document this includes the
commands like layout and transition as
well as formatting options like font
color and size

and other special elements to your
slides in the upper left corner you can
