- To delete a section, right click and select Delete.
Much like you use folders to organize your files, you can use sections to organize your slides into meaningful groups.

- In Normal view, in the thumbnail pane, click the slide that will be the first slide of the section.
- On the Home tab, click Section
, and then click Add Section.
- In the Section Name box, enter a name for the section.
- To add more sections, select a new starting slide for the new section and repeat steps 2 and 3.
The names you enter appear as headers above each section, followed by the number of slides in each section in parentheses.
