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.
Content With Caption: Contains two columns for text and content. The left column contains placeholders for text. The right column contains placeholders for images and illustrations.
Picture With Caption: This slide layout is similar to the Content With Caption slide layout. The left side contains a placeholder for text and the right side contains a placeholder for a picture that is stored on your computer or cloud account.
