# Chapter 3. A Step-By-Step Tutorial

In this chapter, KPresenter is introduced using a simple tutorial. We shall walk through the most basic steps that are involved in creating a presentation, and adding some basic effects.

# 3.1. Start a new document

When you start KPresenter, the Choose Template dialog appears.

The default option is "Start with an empty document". Select the template labeled "Title" (highlighted in red) by clicking on it. This also selects "Create new document from a template".

Now click OK. This brings up the slide editor window, where you can view and edit the slides (and objects contained in them) in your document. At the moment, we just have one slide, with one object on it, which is a text box.

Double-click the text box. The cursor changes to a vertical bar to show that you can now type some text.

Go ahead, type some text!

Click away from the text to de-select the text box when you are done typing.
