NEW SLIDE, QUICK STYLE, SHAPE FILL

New Slide (Ctrl+M):
This tutorial will help you to learn how to insert a new slide in PowerPoint 2016. When you create a new presentation, PowerPoint gives you one default slide that contains a “Title Slide” layout. You can click into the placeholders shown in the title slide. Then type the text you want to appear as the title and subtitle of your presentation.
 
To add another presentation slide, you must then insert a new slide and determine which placeholders appear in it. The slide layout you apply determines which placeholders appear within the new slide. However, you can also change the slide layout to change the placeholders after it is applied.
 
When you click on the New Slide, you can see that there are different types of slide layouts such as Title Slide, Title and Content, Section Header, Two Content, Comparison, Title Only, Blank, content with caption and Picture with caption. So, you can choose a slide up to your need in the presentation.
