When I launch Power Point I always get a blank presentation that I close out of. I have the presentations I want to work on in a folder on my PC. How do I get Powerpoint to open without a presentation at all?

The world won't come to an end if I have to close out the default presentation first, but it would be much less frustrating. Speaking of frustrating, the search I did in the MS help files was everything but helpful.

TIA,
