Comparison: Similar to the Two Content slide layout, but this slide type also includes a heading text box over each type of content. Use this type of slide layout to compare two types of the same content type (for example, two different charts).

Title Only: Use this slide layout if you want to place only a title on the page, rather than a title and subtitle. The area below the title is blank so that other content (such as clip art, WordArt, pictures, or charts) can be added as needed. Blank: A blank slide layout is often used when a picture or other graphic object needs no further information.
