This adds the Title and Content slide layout. This is the default slide layout and it contains placeholders for a title, bullet text, images, and illustrations. If you need a different type of slide, select the New Slide down arrow. This opens a menu that contains nine different slide layouts. Choose one of these slide layouts to add it to your presentation. When you select Home > New Slide, a new slide is added using the current slide layout. For example, if the current slide on the screen uses the Picture With Caption slide layout, the new slide will also be of that type. Work With the Title and Content SlideThe Title and Content slide layout contains placeholders for a title, a bullet list, images, and illustrations. To add bullet text to this slide, select the bullet placeholder and enter your new text. Each time you press Enter, a new bullet appears for the next line of text. To add content other than text to the Title and Content slide layout, select an icon from the set of six content types. The different types of content that can be inserted in this slide layout include a table, chart, SmartArt graphic, pictures, online pictures, and video.
