Answer:
Slide layouts contain formatting, positioning, and placeholder boxes for all of the content that appears on a slide. Placeholders are the dotted-line containers on slide layouts that hold such content as titles, body text, tables, charts, SmartArt graphics, pictures, clip art, videos, and sounds. Slide layouts also contain the colors, fonts, effects, and the background (collectively known as the theme) of a slide.
☆ Presentation software is defined as computer programs designed to allow the user to present information in an engaging way such as with text, pictures, sound and video. ☆
☆ In PowerPoint, a slide layout is like a slide template, and contains formatting (such as applied themes) and placeholders. A placeholder is a container that holds text and graphics, such as pictures, clip art, tables, charts and more.☆
1. Title Slide -
A title slide in PowerPoint can take on many different definitions, but in most cases, it is the first slide in the slide deck and appears in the PowerPoint workspace when that presentation is opened. By default in PowerPoint, the title slide offers two text boxes for a title and subtitle.
2. Title and Content -
The Title and Content slide layout contains placeholders for a title, a bullet list, images, and illustrations. To add bullet text to this slide, select the bullet placeholder and enter your new text.
3. Section Header -
The Section Header layout is ideal for slides that introduce new sections within the presentation. It includes two placeholders: a title placeholder and a text placeholder.
4. Two Content -
The Two Content layout has a title placeholder and two content placeholders that appear side- by-side. The Picture with Caption layout has a title placeholder, a caption placeholder and a placeholder for images. The Comparison layout has a title placeholder, two text placeholders and two content placeholders.
5. Comparison -
PowerPoint decks usually contain at least one comparison slide (i.e., a slide that compares two or more things) to show how products or ideas are different.
6. Title Only -
The Title Slide layout is the default layout when you open a blank presentation in PowerPoint. It comprises two text placeholders: the first for the presentation title and the second for a subtitle. The Title Only layout is the same as a Title Slide except that it doesn't have a subtitle placeholder.
7. Blank -
It's normal to have a blank slide until the first animation runs on the next slide. Ensure you don't have exit animations assigned to the objects present on the problematic slides. Disable all the animations just to make sure. Get the latest Office and Windows 10/Mac OS updates and check if the problem persists
8. Content with Caption -
The Content with Caption layout has a title and caption placeholder on the left and a content placeholder on the right. The Two Content layout has a title placeholder and two content placeholders that appear side- by-side.
9. Picture with Caption -
Adding a caption to an image is an effective method for providing additional context of the image or giving proper credits to the image owner. Here is how to insert image captions in Microsoft PowerPoint.
