POWERPOINT

MICROSOFT POWERPOINT TUTORIAL

1. Getting to a slide that you can edit.

When you first start PowerPoint, you'll have four basic choices:

• Create a new, blank presentation
• Create a new presentation based on a formatted template
• Open a recent presentation
• Open a presentation somewhere else on your computer or network

So to start with, choose Blank Presentation, and that's what you get:

2. Formatting a PowerPoint Slide

To apply the formatting from a template in the Windows version of PowerPoint, click the Design tab.

To see some alternate formats for the theme you chose, do the same in the Variants section on the right. Roll the mouse pointer over a few of them, then click one you want.

3. Adding Text and inserting Slide

Now let's enter some text. Even though the slide says "Click to add title", you don't have to click anything. Just start typing! The text will automatically go into the Title placeholder.

If you want to change the Font and Size you can press Ctrl-A and Click Font at the Menu Bar and choose the Size that you favour.

To add a new slide, just press the same shortcut: Ctrl-Enter

For the slide content, you have a choice. You can create a bullet list or you can click one of the six symbols in the middle to insert a table, image or other type of media. 

If you want to add Graphic Media, go to Insert --> click Smart Art --> choose the one that you favour.

4. Creating a Slide Show

Before running the show, we can apply some simple effects. PowerPoint has two distinct type of effects:

• Transitions: how one slide gives way to the next slide
• Animation: the motion of text and objects within a slide

For my slide, I choose Animation : Wheel and Transition : Reveal.

5. Inserting Video and Audio
If you want to insert a video, go to Menu Bar, click Insert --> Video --> From file

It is the same when you want to insert Audio. 

Taadaaa~~

Now it's time to run the show! Either leave all the thumbnails selected, or select just the first one. This will make sure that the show starts with the first slide.

Click the Slide Show button. In Windows, it's in the lower, right corner of PowerPoint.

There are several ways to advance to the next text item or slide:

- Click the mouse

- Press the Enter or Return key

- Press the Right Arrow or Down Arrow key on the keyboard

- Press the Spacebar

You can also press the Up Arrow key to go backwards. If you want to exit the slide show before it's finished, press the Esc key.
