id=\"How_to_Create_Sections_in_PowerPoint_Best_Practices\"><\/span><strong>How to Create Sections in PowerPoint: Best Practices<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you add sections in PowerPoint, you should always <strong>start at the end of the presentation and move to the front<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>When you add a section, PowerPoint applies it to <u>all the slides after the insertion point<\/u> \u2013 so if you add a section on slide 1, every slide in your presentation will be in that section!<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s say that your presentation has 25 slides, and they\u2019re organized like this:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Slides 1 \u2013 10:<\/strong> Introduction<\/p>\n<p><strong>Slides 11 \u2013 14:<\/strong> Market Analysis<\/p>\n<p><strong>Slides 15 \u2013 19:<\/strong> Leadership Team<\/p>\n<p><strong>Slides 20 \u2013 25:<\/strong> Conclusions<\/p>\n<p>If you want to add sections to this presentation, you should open the Slide Sorter View, go to slide 20, and add the \u201cConclusions\u201d section there with Alt, H, T1, A.<\/p>\n<p>Then, you should move to slide 15 and add the \u201cLeadership Team\u201d section, move to slide 11 and add the \u201cMarket Analysis\u201d section, and, finally, move to slide 1 and add the \u201cIntroduction\u201d section.<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, each section will start with a normal slide that indicates the section&#8217;s title or marks it as the next \u201cpart\u201d of the presentation.<\/p>\n<p>We follow this approach in the Jazz Pharmaceuticals slides here:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"
