Whatever description you prefer, the outline does form an ideal starting point for a bunch of slides! PowerPoint can import outlines created in many applications and we have already shown you how you can create outlines for PowerPoint presentations in Word 2010 and Word 2007.

Unlike PowerPoint programs that run on your computer devices, PowerPoint Online provides you with an option to rename an open presentation. When you create a new presentation, PowerPoint Online uses a default name such as Presentation 1, Presentation 2, etc. This mimics the desktop experience. But did you know that you can provide a new name to the presentation while you are editing? Additionally, you can also rename within OneDrive, and this is similar to renaming your files in Windows Explorer. We look at both approaches in this tutorial.
