Key Points

• How you create a new presentation depends on whether you need help developing the content or the design.

• Office Online provides many presentation templates that you can customize to meet your needs.

• If you are required to use a particular design for a presentation, such as one with corporate colors and branding, it is often simpler to start with the design and then add your own content.

• Repurposing an existing presentation to fit the needs of a different audience is a useful technique that saves development time.

• Repurposing materials developed in other programs, such as Word, capitalizes on the compatibility of the 2007 Office system.

• Repurposing existing slides is another way to save time and ensure consistency.
