Step 12, second to last paragraph

The step in question is "Display the Backstage view, click New, and then in the Office.com Templates area, click Design slides".

However, after following the steps, "Design slides" can not be found. Instead, after clicking New, it is necessary to click "PowerPoint presentations and slides" before the "Design slides (backgrounds)" option is available.

I felt that this is important to bring up, because the original wording might cause confusion for some people.

Step 19, 3rd paragraph concerning Tip

The paragraph in question reads:

"Tip In Normal view, you can set the zoom percentage for each pane independently. For example, clicking the Zoom Out button while the Overview pane is active changes the zoom percentage of the displayed tab."

I am thinking that I should be able to adjust the zoom of the Slides and Outline in the Overview pane, as well as the zoom in the Notes pane. However, clicking the Zoom button seems to only affect the slide pane.
