A presentation is a set of slides, generally in outline format.  Presentations are used most often to accompany a speech. However, a presentation can also be set up to run all by itself. You can also print the slides in several different layouts.

The example above has 1 title slide and 4 slides, shown at the left of the PowerPoint window.

In this first project the presentations that you will create are just plain text. Adding the pretty stuff is in the next two projects.
