CREATING A 

GOOGLE DRIVE  

PRESENTATION

When we click Create, there will be different choices of which type of document we would like to create. In this lesson, we will be making presentations, so click on Presentation  after clicking on Create.                                                                                   



  To start creating a document in Google Drive  we need to

  click on  Create  found on the   left side in the main menu.

 

CHOOSING  

A THEME  


 

 

 Themes in Google Slides help give the presentation a bit of life. There  are preset themes in Google Slides that we can choose from. To  choose a theme for our presentation, simply create a new presentation  by clicking on Create > Presentation.
 

 

 We will be asked to choose from the preset themes of Google Slides.  In the example, the Simple Light theme was chosen. If we wish for this  pop-up to keep appearing every time we create a new presentation,  see if the check box beside the words Show for new presentation is  checked. If it is not, then this option will no longer appear when we  create a new presentation.

DELETING SLIDES

  

 

 To insert a new slide to the presentation, we need to go to the Menu bar and select  Slide > New Slide. We can simply press the shortcut key CTRL + M or click on the  slide where we want to place the new one then press Enter on our keyboard.
 To delete a slide in a presentation, just follow this simple steps. Slide > Delete Slide  or select a slide and click Delete in our keyboard.

 To change the slide background, simply look to the Formatting Toolbar > Change  Background which is to the left of Layouts.

When we select the button beside Color, a color palette will  appear showing us a list of available colors for use. The colors shown are preset  and cannot be changed to hold another color. There is however a row of boxes  below the word Custom which stores up to 10 recently used colors from the custom  color function.
