The first slide we'll create is a textual overview of three different types of retirement accounts.

We'll create the new slide by selecting insert > slide from the menu.

The next screen will save us time by letting us choose a default format for the new slide. That way we don't have to start from scratch.

Name the new slide “types” then select an autolayout.

If we want a slide containing a chart, table, image, or just text we can select the icon that most closely matches our desired layout.

We just want text so we'll select that one

To include the template background or the objects on the template background make sure the appropriate display checkboxes are checked then click OK.

To add text to a slide just click on the box and type.
