Creating a presentation with Deck

Generate a presentation, choose a theme and adjust it by hand.

ObjectiveBy the end of this lesson, you will be able to have a Deck presentation generated from a document, apply a theme to it, adjust it by hand and export it.

Deck is the presentation tool of the Office suite. You can build your slides yourself, or ask Learnya for a first version from a topic or a document. You then stay in control of every slide.

What Deck can do

  • Animations: make elements appear in the order of your talk.
  • Interactive blocks, quizzes and games: engage the room or check understanding.
  • Narration: have each slide read aloud by speech synthesis.
  • PowerPoint and PDF import and export: reuse an existing file or share the result.

Working together

A presentation can be co-edited in real time. You see your colleagues’ presence, you leave comments on a slide and the revision history keeps every state. You can also ask Learnya to apply a correction to the whole presentation, for example shortening all the titles.
