The initial screen that appears when Presentations loads is the "Document Selection" dialog box. Click the "Create New" Tab to begin a new slide show, and then select "Presentations Slide Show" and click [Create]. Choose a gallery for the background theme and click [OK]. The gallery can be changed later by using its button on the Property Bar or using FORMAT, Master gallery. There are seven templates that come with Presentations. The Presentations window has View Tabs at the Right of the screen. Slide Editor lets you see each slide, one at a time. Outliner lets you focus on the text for your slides. The Slide Editor shows placeholders for parts of the slide, even though they will not appear when the slide show is played.
