Section 2: Changing Slide Layouts
Because your presentation will undoubtedly contain more than simply title slides, it will be necessary to cover the different slide layouts available in Microsoft PowerPoint 2013. In this section, we will look at how to apply slide layouts, and the different kinds of layouts you have to choose from.
Selecting a Slide Layout
There are two ways you can select a new slide layout. One is by creating a new slide, and another is by changing the layout of an existing slide.
