when you open PowerPoint 2010 the first
thing you'll see is a blank presentation
with a single empty slide but what if
you had another presentation in front of
you that wasn't blank
maybe something you've already been
working on how would you go about
creating a new file start by clicking
the file tab to go to the backstage view
then click new you can either open a new
blank presentation which is highlighted
automatically or a sample template
that's installed on your computer or a
template downloaded from office.com
specifically designed for PowerPoint
presentations and slides a template is
just a file that's already been put
together both to help you save time and
create a presentation that looks
professional some PowerPoint templates
include graphic themes animations even
tips to help you develop your
presentation
this time however let's go ahead and
select the blank presentation here click
create and it will open in a new window
to open an existing presentation that's
already saved to your computer click
file to return to the backstage view if
the presentation you're looking for is
something you've worked on recently you
might be able to find it under recent
where your most recent files are listed
here on the right otherwise the easiest
way to open any file is to click open
which takes you to the files and the
folders on your computer now select the
presentation you're looking for click
open and it appears in a new window
