Managing Files and Folders | MS PowerPoint

Microsoft Office integrates several desktop applications, such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint, in a bundled suite of software that allows you to store data, manage files and create folders. Saving your PowerPoint files in dedicated folders consolidates your work and makes it easier to access. You can also save other PowerPoint folders within the primary folder, referred to as subfolders, to further compartmentalize your presentations according to attributes such as subject, creation date and purpose.

1. Launch PowerPoint. Create a presentation or open a saved presentation.
2. Click “File” and select “Save As” from the tab ribbon.
3. Select the destination in which to store your PowerPoint folder from the menu pane in the Save As dialog box. File destinations include My Documents, Desktop, My Network Places, My Recent Documents and My Computer.
4. Click the icon of a folder with an asterisk from the Save As toolbar to create a new folder.
5. Enter a name for the folder in the Name field. Click “OK.”
