A PowerPoint presentation is a collection of electronic pages called slides. Layouts provide pre-formatted placeholders for titles, bullet lists, charts, and images. The Slide Master ensures consistent fonts, logos, and background themes across every slide.

2. Transitions vs. Animations

Slide Transition: The visual motion effect that occurs when advancing from one slide to the next during a slide show (e.g. Fade, Wipe, Push).
Custom Animation: Visual effects applied to individual elements on a slide (text, photos, icons). Types: Entrance (fly in), Emphasis (pulse/spin), and Exit (fade out).

3. Delivering the Slide Show

Press F5 to start the slide show from the beginning, or Shift+F5 to start from the current slide. Use the arrow keys or spacebar to advance, and press Esc to return to edit mode.
