When you click the File menu in PowerPoint 365 for Mac, you see several options. In this tutorial, we explore two of these options (see Figure 1):
Figure 1: Save and Save As options
The Save option works differently depending upon whether you are working with a new presentation, or a presentation that has already been saved earlier:
Navigate to your save location, and provide a name for your presentation. You can also opt to save as different file types that PowerPoint supports.The default File save type is PPTX (PowerPoint Presentation) but there are several other formats you can choose from, as you can see from the drop-down list of File Formats, as shown in Figure 4, below.
Figure 4: File formats you can save to
When you select the File | Save option for a file that has been earlier saved, you'll not be presented with any dialog box, PowerPoint just overwrites your old file with any new changes made since the last save.
When you choose the File | Save As option for a presentation, it doesn’t matter if the file has been previously saved or not, you always end up summoning the Save As dialog box that you saw in Figure 3, previously on this page.
