PowerPoint 2013 is similar to PowerPoint 2010. If you’ve previously used PowerPoint 2010, PowerPoint 2013 should feel familiar. But if you are new to PowerPoint or have more experience with older versions, you should first take some time to become familiar with the PowerPoint 2013 interface.

The Ribbon

PowerPoint 2013 uses a tabbed Ribbon system instead of traditional menus.

The Ribbon contains multiple tabs, each with several groups of commands. You will use these tabs to perform the most common tasks in PowerPoint. The Ribbon is designed to respond to your current task, but you can choose to minimize it if you find that it takes up too much screen space.

The Quick Access Toolbar

Located just above the Ribbon, the Quick Access Toolbar lets you access common commands no matter which tab is selected. By default, it includes the Save, Undo, Repeat, and Start Presentation commands. You can add other commands depending on your preference.

To add commands to the Quick Access Toolbar:

Click the drop-down arrow to the right of the Quick Access Toolbar.Select the command you wish to add from the drop-down menu. To choose from more commands, select More Commands.

The ruler, guides, and gridlines

PowerPoint includes several tools to help organize and arrange content on your slides, including the Ruler, Guides, and Gridlines. These tools make it easier to align objects on your slides. Simply click the check boxes in the Show group on the View tab to show and hide these tools.
