Creating a duplicate of a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation is a straightforward process that can be done in a few simple steps. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
- Open the PowerPoint presentation that you want to duplicate. Make sure you have saved any changes that you have made to the presentation before you start duplicating it.
- Click on the ‘File’ tab which is located at the top left corner of the PowerPoint application. This will open up a drop-down menu.
- From the drop-down menu, click on ‘Save As’. This will open up a new dialog box.
- In this dialog box, navigate to the location where you want to save the duplicate presentation. It can be any location on your computer or on a connected external storage device.
- Enter a new name for the duplicate presentation in the ‘File name’ field. This will help you differentiate between the original presentation and the duplicate one.
- Finally, click on ‘Save’. This will create a duplicate of the original PowerPoint presentation with the new name and save it in the location you specified.
Now, you will have a duplicate of your original PowerPoint presentation that you can edit and modify without affecting the original presentation.
Remember, duplicating a presentation is a great way to create a backup of your work or to create a new presentation based on an existing one. However, always make sure to give proper credits if you are using someone else’s work.
