Lesson 1: Getting Started

Lesson Objectives
In this lesson, you will be introduced to PowerPoint screen elements and you will learn to use these to assist in creating new presentations. You will also look at some file management tools available in PowerPoint. Upon completion of this lesson, you should be able to:

identify elements on the screen use the Quick Access Toolbar use the Ribbon identify screen symbols create a presentation use Backstage to save, open, close, and create new presentations
switch between presentations move around a presentation save in different file formats insert, rearrange, and delete slides organize slides into sections change slide layouts and backgrounds apply and modify presentation themes
Lesson 1
Getting Started
Looking at the Screen

When PowerPoint starts, a new document opens and the screen displays as follows: 1.3
Control Icon File Tab Quick Access Toolbar Ribbon Tab Help Minimize the Ribbon Ribbon Title Bar
Previous Slide
Group
Next Slide
Status Bar
Split Bar
Notes Pane
View Buttons
Zoom Slider
Control Icon Quick Access Toolbar Title Bar
This enables you to perform important functions, such as sizing, moving, and closing application windows. Located above the Ribbon, this provides direct access to frequently used commands. You can customize the toolbar to contain commands you use regularly. Located at the top of the screen, the title bar displays the contents of the window (for example, Presentation2 Microsoft PowerPoint, Staff Retreat 2011 - Microsoft PowerPoint). If more than one window is open on the screen, the one with a title bar that is a different color or intensity is the active window. Clicking on this displays the Help window; Microsofts Help option links to the Microsoft Web site for the latest information. You can also use the help topics installed with Office. Minimizing the Ribbon displays the Ribbon Tabs only, enabling you to see more lines of text in the document on screen. This collection of tabs provides quick access to commands organized into groups according to the type of function, such as File, Home, Insert, and Design.
Microsoft PowerPoint Help Minimize the Ribbon Ribbon
Getting Started Ribbon Tab
Lesson 1 Each tab represents a group of commands for specific purposes, such as editing, inserting graphics, viewing options, and doing page layout. The area shown when the File tab is selected is called Backstage, as it doesnt show a presentation. Each tab contains groups of related commands to edit, format, or enhance items in your documents. Some groups have a Dialog box launcher button at the bottom right that displays a dialog box or window with more commands and options. This pane allows you to switch from the Outline Pane (where you can view miniatures of each slide in the presentation) to the slide itself (where you can enter text). You can use this to increase or decrease the size of the Slides/Outline pane. This pane allows you to view or enter contents of a slide. The vertical scroll bar allows you to move up and down within the presentation. The horizontal scroll bar only appears if the presentation is wider than the screen display; you can use it when you want to move sideways within the presentation. These buttons allow you to move from one slide forward to the next or back to the previous one in the presentation. Use this pane to enter notes about the slide, such as speaker notes, reminders, or extra information. In this view of PowerPoint, you can only enter text, not graphics. The status bar displays document information, such as current page, total number of words, proofing errors, and language. It also displays the View buttons and the Zoom slider at the far right. These buttons enable you to alternate quickly between different views of a presentation. Use Normal to view and edit slides; Slide Sorter to view and organize all the slides in a presentation; Reading to view the presentation as if it were a show; and Slide Show to view the presentation as if you were delivering it to an audience. Click the buttons at either side of the slider to increase or decrease the zoom percentage by 10%, or drag the slider button to choose a particular zoom percentage. PowerPoint displays the current zoom percentage in the Zoom level button, which is at the right of the View buttons. You can also click this button to set a custom or specific zoom percentage. Click the button to the far right of the zoom buttons to fit the slide within the PowerPoint window.

The previous screen displays commonly used areas of the PowerPoint screen. However, because you can customize the screens appearance, not all the parts described above always appear. For instance, you can choose to turn the ruler on if you want to set a tab to align specific information on the slide, and then turn it off again to maximize the workspace on your screen. You can also set up or turn off defaults, such as the Mini toolbar or Live Preview, for each new presentation.
Viewing Screen Tips

ScreenTips help identify buttons or elements on the tabs of the Ribbon and the screen. To view a ScreenTip, position the mouse cursor over the item. A tip then displays the name of the button along with a description of its purpose. For some items, a keyboard shortcut may also display as an alternative way to activate this feature.
Lesson 1
Getting Started
You can choose to show or hide a number of the elements shown in this section. In most cases, set items by clicking the File tab, clicking Options and then clicking the General or Advanced categories.
Using the Quick Access Toolbar

The Quick Access Toolbar, at the left of the title bar above the Ribbon, includes buttons for frequently used commands. By default, this toolbar contains the PowerPoint control icon, and the Save, Undo, Redo, and Customize Quick Access Toolbar buttons. Use the last button to customize or display those commands you use frequently, such as new blank document, print, or spell check.
PowerPoint control icon

The Ribbon can help you find the commands you require quickly. Commands are grouped on tabs with each tab relating to a type of activity, such as adding images to a slide, changing a slides design, or adding animation and slide transitions. You can customize the Ribbon to display those commands you use most often in a particular order, or to add or remove commands for a Ribbon tab (not covered in this course). To reduce screen clutter, contextual tabs (such as Drawing Tools, Picture Tools, and Table Tools) appear only when they are applicable to the task or selected object.
Getting Started
Lesson 1
A button that appears in a different color or has an outline is active; many buttons deactivate when you click the same button again or click another choice. For instance, the Bold command can be applied to selected text by clicking that button. While active, it has a different color and outline. To turn off the boldface, click the same button again. Each tab on the Ribbon contains groups with similar commands. For example, the Home tab includes a group called Font, which contains buttons for formatting text characters; the Insert tab includes a group with different types of graphics or illustrations that can be inserted into a document. If a group shows a feature with a scroll bar, it also has a More button below the bottom scroll button that you can click to display the full list or gallery of options for that feature.
As you point the mouse cursor at an option in the gallery, PowerPoint displays a Live Preview showing what the selected item will look like if you apply this feature. You can turn off this feature in the Options.
You can click the dialog box launcher button at the lower right of any group to display a dialog box, window, or task pane offering more options for this group of features.
Dialog Box
Window/Task Pane
With a dialog box, you can change options for the selected feature, click a button to apply them, and then close the dialog box. However, a task pane remains open on the screen so that you can make ongoing changes; for example, the Office Clipboard task pane shows items that have been cut or copied to the clipboard and are available for pasting into one or more slides. You can minimize the Ribbon to show more of a presentation on the screen. To minimize the Ribbon: Use the button at the far right of the top of the Ribbon; or double-click any of the ribbon tabs; or right-click anywhere on the Ribbon and then click Minimize the Ribbon; or press + . 5

Creating New Presentations

When you start PowerPoint, a new blank presentation screen appears. You can begin entering information immediately or choose a different presentation layout from a variety of pre-designed templates. There are no restrictions to how many presentations you can create and work on at one time; the only limitation may be the amount of memory your system has to display numerous presentations at once. To create a new blank presentation, use one of the following methods: Click File, click New, click Blank presentation, and then click Create; or press ; or to use a template, click File, click New click a template, and then click Create. +
Getting Started
Lesson 1
Blank Presentation
This creates a blank presentation, similar to the one PowerPoint displays when you start the program. It contains only the title slide with no colors or design elements, ready for you to enter text. You can then create your own content and apply your own choice of colors, backgrounds, images, and so on. This displays a list of templates used recently so you dont have to search for the one you want in the Office.com Templates area. In this area, you can select a sample template pre-designed with suggestions for text, colors, backgrounds, images, and so on. You type the text and make the design changes that you want. These are pre-designed themes with specific backgrounds and colors; all you need to do is add slides and text. Create a presentation using an existing template designed by you or a colleague, which may include suggestions for text on your slides and application of colors, backgrounds, and images; you simply type in the text you want. Use a presentation that is already written and designed, and apply new content and design components. This list of templates can include those that came with the software and those you have previously downloaded from Microsofts Office templates Web site.

Managing Presentations
1.1 1.2 As you begin working with presentations, you need to consider how to organize your files for easy access. File organization includes how you name the file, where you save it, what specific file types are, and whether you want to add or change the properties of a file to make it easier to find later. The Save commands are located in Backstage via the File tab.
Saving Presentations
It is important to save your files as you work on them so that you will be able to use them again. To save your file, you must name it. When choosing a name, consider the following: The file name can be a maximum of 255 characters (including the drive and folder path), and may not include these characters: / \ : * ? < > | Give the file a name that will help you identify its contents quickly. PowerPoint automatically assigns a .pptx extension or file type at the end of the file name. You only have to type in the name for the presentation. When the file name appears in a shaded box, begin typing the new file name to insert the new file name for this presentation. Use the arrow direction keys to move anywhere in the existing file name to add or delete characters. The first time you save a new presentation, you will see the Save As dialog box. The next time you want to save changes to the existing presentation, you can use one of the Save methods. To save an existing presentation with a new name, click File and then click Save As.
10
Getting Started
Lesson 1
To save a presentation as a different file type, such as an earlier version of PowerPoint, use Save as type in the Save As dialog box and select the appropriate file format.
By default, Windows sets up the Documents folder to store files, and PowerPoint draws on this. However, you are not restricted to this folder. You can: Create your own folders to help organize files by clicking New folder on the command bar in the Save As dialog box. Save in any location that you can access, such as the hard drive, a flash disk, or a network drive.
If you are unsure whether you have saved a file previously, check the title bar or use Save As to give the file a different name, thereby ensuring you have a copy of the current document on screen. If the file already exists in one location, you can save the same file to another location. Be careful with files that have the same name in different locations, as you may need to use other tools to help you and others determine which one is the most current or valid version. To view the file type or extension, turn on this option using Windows Explorer. Click Organize, Folder and search options and then, on the View tab, deselect the Hide extensions for known file types. Showing file types is helpful when determining which file you want to use (that is, where two files have the same name and one shows the PowerPoint 2010 and 2007 formats [.pptx] while the other shows the PowerPoint 2003 format [.ppt]). To save changes made to the current document using the same file name, use one of the following methods: Click File and then Save; or on the Quick Access Toolbar, click press + . Save; or
You can use Views in the Save As dialog box to change the display of folders and files to suit your personal preferences. You can change some of the default save options in the PowerPoint options. For example, you can change the default format in which presentations are saved to an earlier version of PowerPoint, and change the default location to another folder. These options are accessed by clicking the File tab, then Options, then Save.

Lesson 1
Getting Started
Working with the Compatibility Mode

Occasionally, when working with documents saved in a different format than PowerPoint 2010, you may find there are difficulties working with the file, such as formatting options or diagrams that cannot be changed. PowerPoint provides tools to check the document to ensure it is compatible with earlier versions, or to convert the document automatically to PowerPoint 2010. These tools are available in Backstage via the File tab and the Info category.
If PowerPoint detects any errors between the versions, you will be notified of these and may need to convert the entire file. For instance, the SmartArt illustration is a feature that does not exist in versions prior to PowerPoint 2007. If you continue with the conversion, this diagram changes to a drawing object and cannot be modified or ungrouped. To run the compatibility checker, click File and, with Info selected, click Check for Issue and then click Run Compatibility Checker. Power Point then lists any features in your presentation that are not supported by an earlier version of the program, as well as the number of occurrences in the presentation. You can then click Help to find a solution that will allow you to resolve the incompatibility manually. To convert a document saved in another file format to the PowerPoint 2010 format (.pptx), click File, click Info, and then click Convert. PowerPoint asks you to save the file, preferrably with a different name than the original. A list appears, itemizing changes between the versions that can be converted to PowerPoint 2010. This does not change the original document; rather, it creates a new document in which old features are updated to PowerPoint 2010 features and format. Note that not all elements created in another format can convert or are compatible with PowerPoint 2010.
Switching Between Presentations

When you have multiple presentations open at one time, you can switch between these quickly and easily using one of the following methods: On the View tab, in the Window group, click Switch Windows; or

Closing a Presentation
Once you have finished editing or revising a presentation, you should close it to clear the screen and memory so that you can start or open another presentation without leaving old files on your screen. Although you can have multiple presentations open at one time, close those you do not currently need saves on memory and processing time. PowerPoint displays each document in its own window; with this in mind, use one of the following methods to close a presentation and the PowerPoint application: Click Close for the PowerPoint application; or click File and then Close; or press + or + ; or

Inserting Slides from Existing Presentations

You can incorporate slides from other presentations that include information that is similar to what you want for the current presentation. This saves you time because you do not have to recreate the slides and it also ensures consistency between the two presentations. To reuse slides from an existing presentation, on the Home tab, in the Slides group, click the New Slide arrow and click Reuse Slides. You can choose to insert and reuse slides from individual presentations or from a Microsoft SharePoint Slide Library. When you open an individual presentation, the slides from that presentation appear in a list in the task pane. You can then click a slide to insert it immediately into your current presentation. If you want the slide that you are adding to the destination presentation to maintain the formatting of the original presentation, select Keep source formatting at the bottom of the pane before you insert the slide. If you want to apply the theme from the source presentation to the presentation you are working on, you can right-click a slide and choose either of the last two options.
Inserting Slides from an Outline

If you have a Word document or similar text file with an outline of your presentation, you can use that outline to create slides. This feature works best when the document contains only the headings you want to use as slide titles.

Organizing Slides
Using the Slide Sorter
1.1 2.3 2.4 After you create several slides, you must be sure that the overall flow of your presentation makes sense. The best place to organize your slides is in the Slide Sorter view. This view gives you thumbnails, which are little pictures of all your slides, so you can easily reorganize If you double-click a slide in this view, your slides by moving, deleting, or duplicating them.

you switch to Normal view with the slide displayed in the Slide pane.
Rearranging Slides
To build a presentation, you must create a sequence of ideas that leads your viewer through a logical progression. When creating a presentation, you often have to reorganize slides to get the sequence right. To rearrange a slide in a presentation, in Slide Sorter view, click and drag a slide to a new position. As you drag it on screen, a line appears to indicate the new slide position. You can also cut or copy a slide to the clipboard.

Using Sections
If you have many slides in a presentation, it can be helpful to group them into Sections. Sections of slides can be collapsed, hiding some slides from view, so that you can focus only on the slides you are currently working on, or to allow different people to work on different parts of the same presentation.

Lesson 2
Using the Spelling Checker

When you type text in a presentation, you should check that text for spelling accuracy. PowerPoint offers a spelling checker to make this simple. The spelling checker is there to help you with common types of errors; however, you should still take the time to read your presentation thoroughly to ensure you have used the correct spelling, grammar, tense, and tone with the text. Whenever possible, have others review your presentation to provide an objective opinion on how the information flows and to catch any errors that you missed. To run the spelling checker, use one of the following methods: On the Review tab, in the Proofing group, click Spelling, or press , or right-click a misspelled word and click Spelling, or double-click Spell Check on the status bar. If you are unable to see Spell Check on your status bar, right-click the status bar and click Spell Check on the shortcut menu.
When the spelling checker finds a word in your presentation that is not in the dictionary, PowerPoint displays the Spelling dialog box:
Ignore Ignore All Change Change All
Leave this occurrence of the word unchanged. Leave all occurrences of this word in the presentation unchanged. Replace the misspelled word with a selection in the Suggestions list, or replace the misspelled word with the text you type in the Change to box. Replace all occurrences of the misspelled word in the presentation with a selection in the Suggestions list, or replace the misspelled word with the text you type in the Change to box. Add the misspelled word to the dictionary so that it is no longer a misspelled word. Update the Suggestions list. Automatically correct spelling of the misspelled word to a selected suggestion in the Suggestions list, or to the text you type in the Change to box. Finish the spelling checker.
Add Suggest AutoCorrect Close
PowerPoint automatically checks spelling as you type, flagging misspelled words with a red wavy underline so that you can easily identify them.
You can right-click the misspelled word to see suggested corrections at the top of the shortcut menu and left-click a suggestion to replace the misspelled word.
35
Lesson 2
Working with Text
Right-click a word to display other options such as adding the word to your dictionary. The automatic spelling checker will not check grammar or check if you are using the word in the correct context. For example, if you use its in a point on a slide, did you mean to use its, which is a possessive form of the word it, or its, which is a contraction for it is? These types of errors are known as contextual errors and they can be found during the spell check by activating this option in PowerPoint Options. To apply or change any of the default options that PowerPoint provides for the spelling feature, click File, click Options, click Proofing, and then select the appropriate check boxes, as shown in the following sample:
You can quickly select all the slides in a presentation by selecting any one of them in the Slide Outline pane and then pressing CTRL+A to select all the others.
The language used by the spelling checker is set for each presentation file. It is important to change the language to English (United States) if the presentation is to be viewed by an audience in the United States, or to English (United Kingdom) if the presentation is to be viewed by an audience in the United Kingdom. The language influences the spelling checker and the identification of misspelled words. The language used by a presentation displays at the left of the status bar. To change the presentations language, select all the slides in the presentation and then use one of the following methods: Double-click the language shown on the status bar. If you are unable to see the language on your status bar, right-click the status bar and click Language; or on the Review tab, in the Proofing group, click Language.

Lesson 2
Formatting Text
2.5 Words form the basis of your presentation; taking the time to format text effectively can pay off in many ways. Effectively formatted text is easier to read and helps make the slides in your presentation more professional and eye-catching. There are numerous features available for changing the appearance of text on the slide. You can apply any formatting feature to text as you type or after it is typed. If you choose to apply the formatting as you type, turn on the formatting (bold, for example), type the text, and then turn the formatting off. However, it may be easier to format text after you type it, because PowerPoint continues to keep the selection active so you can apply or remove one or more formatting features. For example, select the text once and then apply one or more formatting features, such as bold and a different color.
Formatting Text Characters

You can easily change the format of selected text or all text in a placeholder in a variety of ways. In designing your slides, text formatting should be attractive to the eye and, most importantly, readable. You can apply text-formatting features using one of the following methods: On the Home tab, in the Font group, click the appropriate button. Some of these are toggle buttons, meaning you can click the button once to turn it on and click the button again to turn it off; or
select the text and, on the Mini toolbar, click the appropriate formatting feature; or
on the Home tab, in the Font group, click the Font Dialog box launcher.
You can also press CTRL+T, CTRL+SHIFT+F, CTRL+SHIFT+P,, or rightclick the text and then click Font to display the Font dialog box.
PowerPoint provides a few additional formatting tools that can help enhance the look of text. For example, you can change the letter casing, such as from all uppercase to title case or all lowercase. To change the case for text, use one of the following methods: On the Home tab, in the Font group, click Change Case and select one of the options; or Press + .
You can use character spacing to adjust the amount of space between characters. This can be useful when the width of the text placeholder creates a line of text that appears too crowded or when there is too much space between the words.
45
Lesson 2 To change character spacing, use one of the following methods: On the Home tab, in the Font group, click Character Spacing; or
Working with Text
use one of the methods to display the Font dialog box and then click the Character Spacing tab.
Using the Format Painter

When you have formatted some text to suit your needs and want to format other text to match, the quickest way to do so is by using the Format Painter . The Format Painter copies the formatting of selected text, but not the text itself, from one selection to another.
Clearing Formatting
If you want to remove all of the formatting applied to specific text, PowerPoint provides a tool for you to do so quickly and easily. To clear all the formatting at one time, on the Home tab, in the Font group, click Clear All Formatting .

Working with Text
Lesson 2
Formatting Paragraphs
When you type paragraphs of text on a slide, they are formatted with the alignment, line spacing, indentation, paragraph spacing, and text direction determined by the theme and slide layout you applied. You can easily change the format of entire paragraphs in a variety of ways. In designing your slides, paragraph formatting should be pleasing to the eye and clear to read. Alignment refers to whether the text is flush with the left or right edge of the placeholder, centered in the placeholder, or spread out to the full width of the placeholder (justified). You can change the horizontal alignment using one of the following methods: On the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, click the appropriate button; or
select the text and on the Mini toolbar, click the appropriate formatting feature; or
on the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, click the Paragraph Dialog box launcher.
Line spacing refers to the amount of vertical space between each line of text in a paragraph. This can be useful to adjust when you want to spread out a few lines over a whole slide without increasing the size of the text. To change line spacing, use one of the following methods: On the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, click Line Spacing; or
on the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, click the Paragraph Dialog box launcher, and in the Spacing area, click the arrow for Line Spacing; or
right-click and click Paragraph, and, in the Spacing area, click the arrow for Line Spacing.
47
Lesson 2
Working with Text
Paragraph spacing refers to the amount of space before or after each paragraph. This is useful to adjust when you want to more clearly separate one paragraph from the next with more white space. To change spacing before or after a paragraph, use one of the following methods: On the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, click Line Spacing, and click Line Spacing Options. In the spacing area, click the incremental buttons for Before or After; or on the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, click the Paragraph Dialog box launcher. In the spacing area, click the incremental buttons for Before or After; or right-click and click Paragraph and, in the spacing area, click the incremental buttons for Before or After.
You can also type the number into the Before or After fields to set the paragraph spacing.
Indenting Text
Setting and adjusting text indents in PowerPoint is quick and easy, and is especially useful for managing bulleted and numbered lists. An indent occurs when a paragraph is offset from the regular margin. To work effectively with indentation you must view the PowerPoint ruler. To display the Ruler, on the View tab, in the Show/Hide group, click Ruler. The Indent Marker resides to the left of the horizontal ruler and indicates the indentation applied to the currently selected paragraph. The indent markers on the horizontal ruler are not active until you click in a text placeholder.
First Line Hanging
Left
There are three types of indent markers: First Line Hanging Left This indicates on the ruler how much the first line in the paragraph is indented. This indicates where all lines in the paragraph, other than the first line, are indented; this is commonly used for bulleted and numbered lists. This indicates where the paragraph is indented from the left.
You can set the position of the indent markers using one of the following methods: Set the indentation options in the Paragraph dialog box (on the Home tab, in the Paragraph group); or
on the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, click Increase List Level or Decrease List Level; or
drag the indent marker to the right or left of the horizontal ruler.

Formatting Placeholders
Changing formatting of the whole placeholder, not just the text within it, can add visual appeal or make it easier to see against the background of your slide. You can format placeholders in a variety of ways. For example, you can add an outline, fill, or shadow, change the thickness or color of the lines that define the shape of the text box, and add three-dimensional effects to text in a placeholder. When filling a placeholder with color or changing line color, try to pick colors that complement your presentations color scheme. Quick Styles are combinations of different formatting options; they display in a thumbnail in the various Quick Style galleries. To apply a Quick Style to a placeholder, use one of the following methods: on the Home tab, in the Drawing group, click Quick Styles. under Drawing Tools, on the Format tab, in the Shape Styles group, click Quick Styles.
The Quick Styles available to you depend on the theme selected.

Lesson 2
Using Text Boxes

2.6 Slides have a predetermined number of text placeholders, based on the selected slide layout. Sometimes you may want to add more text than there are placeholders, or add text in a different position. Drawing a text box is an easy way to do this. A text box is a drawing object that automatically enlarges or shrinks depending on the amount of text you type and includes a text wrap feature that places text on consecutive lines. Use text boxes to place text anywhere on a slide, such as outside a text placeholder. For example, you can add a caption to a picture by creating a text box and positioning it near the picture.
Text Placeholder
Text Box
You can insert as many text boxes as you want on a slide and remove text boxes when they are no longer required. To insert a text box, use one of the following methods: On the Insert tab, in the Text group, click Text Box; or on the Insert tab, in the Illustrations group, click Shapes, and then click Text Box; or under Drawing Tools , on the Format tab, in the Insert Shapes group, click Draw Text Box.
To select a text box, click its border. To select multiple text boxes, press or and click each text box. If the border around the text box is a solid line, you have selected the text box. However, if the border is a dashed line, and a blinking cursor appears, you are editing the text inside the box but not the box itself.
To delete a text box, click the text box border to select it and press To move a selected text box, use one of the following methods: Drag the text box placeholder; or press arrow keys or hold
and press arrow keys to make smaller movements.

Sizing and Positioning Text Boxes

When you a draw a text box, it may not appear in the place or with the size you prefer. In this case, you can resize the text box to fit better on your slide and then move it wherever you want. You resize text boxes using handles. These small squares and circles surround the text box when you click it. You can drag these handles to make a text box larger or smaller. Dragging corner circular handles retains the text boxes original proportions; dragging square handles distorts the original proportions so that, for example, a square text box may turn into a rectangle text box.
If you want the text box to have a specific height and width, use one of the following methods: Under Drawing Tools, on the Format tab, in the Size group, click Shape Height or Shape Width. Then click or type in a height or width and press ; or right-click the text box and click Size and Position; or under Drawing Tools, on the Format tab, in the Size group, click the Size Dialog box launcher.
56
Working with Text
Lesson 2
When you type into a text box, by default, it will resize the text box to fit the amount of text. To change this, in the Format Shape dialog box, click Text Box, and choose one of these options: Do not Autofit Shrink text on overflow Resize shape to fit text If you type more text in a text box than will fit, not all the text will be visible but the box and text will not change size. As you type more text in a text box than will fit, the size of the text will shrink to fit it all in the box. As you type more text in a text box than will fit, the box will grow longer to accommodate the text.
Text within a text box is, by default, placed a short distance away from the border of the box. This space is known as the internal margin and may be adjusted to change the visual appeal of the box. To change this, in the Format shape dialog box, click Text Box and change the internal margin values. By default, text within a text box wraps to the next line as it reaches the right margin of the box. To disable this and display all the text on one line, clear Wrap text in shape.

Changing the Order, Alignment, Orientation and Rotation

Changing the Order
As you draw text boxes on a slide, they may overlap each other, with one on top of another, and that one on top of yet another. You may need to change the order in which the boxes overlap, moving them forwards and backwards on the slide to achieve the desired effect. PowerPoint offers you the following choices for changing the order of a text box: Bring Forward Bring to Front Send Backward Send to Back Moves the selected text box one layer up, closer to the viewer. Moves the selected text box to the top layer, closest to the viewer. Moves the selected text box one layer back, away from the viewer. Moves the selected text box to the bottom layer, farthest from the viewer.
To change the order of selected text boxes, use one of the following methods: Under Drawing Tools, on the Format tab, in the Arrange group, click Bring Forward or Send Backward; or on the Home tab, in the Drawing group, click Arrange, and click Bring to Front, Send to Back, Bring Forward, or Send Backward.
Aligning Text Boxes

When you add text boxes to a slide, it is difficult to align the text boxes evenly by clicking or dragging. When your text boxes misalign, it can be distracting to the viewer and make the slide design look unprofessional. PowerPoint provides you with a variety of options to align text: Align Left Align Center Align Right Align Top Align Middle Align Bottom Distribute Horizontally Distribute Vertically Align all text boxes with the text box furthest left on the slide. Center all boxes based on the center point of each text box. Align all text boxes with the text box furthest right on the slide. Align all text boxes with the text box at the highest point on the slide. Align all text boxes at the middle of the slide. Align all text boxes with the text box at the lowest point on the slide. Arrange the text boxes from left to right on the slide with equal space between each. Arrange the text boxes from top to bottom on the slide with equal space between each.
To change the alignment of two or more selected text boxes, use one of the following methods: Under Drawing Tools, on the Format tab, in the Arrange group, and click Align; or on the Home tab, in the Drawing group, click Arrange, and click Align.

Using Pictures
A picture is an external graphic object that you can add to a slide to illustrate a point. Adding pictures to a presentation is the easiest way to liven it up and add visual appeal. Pictures can often enhance points presented in text form, making them easier to understand and making slides more attractive. When you add a picture to a slide, PowerPoint displays the Pictures Tools tab with options to modify the picture:
Many of these items are discussed later in this lesson.
Inserting Pictures from Files

There are two common ways to add a picture to a slide. When you create slides, some slides provide a placeholder for pictures, including Title and Content, Two Content, Comparison, Content with Caption, and Picture with Caption. However, you can create a new slide with any layout and then add a picture to the slide. To add a picture to a slide with a picture placeholder, click Insert Picture from File in the placeholder. To add a picture to a slide with no picture placeholder, on the Insert tab, in the Images group, click Picture.
You can then navigate to where the picture file is located and click the picture to insert it. Alternatively, click Insert for other options.
When you use Insert to insert a picture, you have three options: 72 Insert (embedded) Link to File Insert and Link
Lesson 3
The Insert option means the picture is embedded in the presentation. Once embedded, the picture becomes part of the presentation file. Changes you make to the picture in the presentation are reflected in the presentation only. If the picture is linked, a connection exists between the presentation and the picture file. The picture file can be updated and the changes will be reflected in the linked picture in the presentation. Inserted pictures are stored within the presentation and linked pictures are stored outside the presentation. Linked pictures are updated when changes are made to their source picture file but embedded pictures do not change if you change their source picture file. When your presentation contains linked pictures, you must copy both the linked pictures and the presentation if you plan to deliver the presentation on another computer or send it to someone by e-mail. To help you decide whether to insert or link to pictures, consider the following: Use Insert for the picture when: Your files are under 100 KB each. You can insert files that are up to 50 megabytes (MB), but it may slow down the delivery of the presentation. You want all picture files to be contained within your presentation rather than linked to it. You do not plan to change the source files.
Use Link to File for the picture when: Your picture files are 100 KB or more each. You plan to change the picture source files. You plan to use the Package for CD feature to package your presentation to a CD, or to a different folder or computer.

Arranging Illustrations and Shapes

3.1 Arranging illustrations and shapes manually can be very difficult, but illustrations and shapes that are not aligned can be very distracting to the audience and look unprofessional. Fortunately, you can use various features provided by PowerPoint to assist with the arrangement of shapes and objects in a presentation.
86
Lesson 3
Using the Ruler

You will probably want to use your ruler as a guide when you align objects on your slide. To view the ruler, on the View tab, in the Show/Hide group, click Ruler. PowerPoint displays horizontal and vertical rulers for precise placements. The units of measurement in the ruler are determined by the regional settings in Windows.
Using Gridlines and Guides

Guides are nonprinting horizontal and vertical lines you can use to align objects on your slides. Use one or more guides to arrange objects evenly, with or without the grid turned on. Gridlines are a set of intersecting lines that you can display to make it easier for you to align shapes and other objects. Use the gridlines to help align objects more precisely, particularly in relation to each other. You can view gridlines and guides in PowerPoint to give you a visual cue in relation to the objects in your presentation. You can show or hide both guides and gridlines, and you can add or delete guides. You can drag guides to adjust them and you can choose from a range of preset measurements to set the spacing between gridlines. Guides and gridlines are not visible when you deliver your presentation to your audience and they are not printed. To turn guides or gridlines on or off, use one of the following methods: On the Home tab, in the Drawing group, click Arrange, click Align, and click View Gridlines or Grid Settings; or under Drawing Tools or Picture Tools, on the Format tab, in the Arrange group, click Align, and click View Gridlines or Grid Settings; or right-click outside the slide objects and click Grid and Guides; or
on the View tab, in the Show group, click Gridlines or Guides; or
press press
+ +
for guides; or for gridlines.
Using the mouse to move shapes to a particular position on a slide can be difficult, as the shape will snap to the grid. To stop your shapes snapping to the grid, clear the Snap objects to grid check box or press when you are dragging a shape so that it moves freely. You can press arrow keys to move objects on a slide or press +arrow keys to move objects by small increments.
87
Lesson 3
Sizing, Scaling, and Rotating Content

When you a draw a shape, it may not appear in the place or at the size you prefer. You can resize the shape to fit better on your slide and move it wherever you want. You resize shapes using handles in the same way you have learned to resize text boxes. These small squares and circles surround the shape when you select it. You can drag these handles to make a shape larger or smaller. Dragging corner circular handles retains the shapes original proportions; dragging square handles distorts the original proportions, so that, for example, a square may become a rectangle. If you want the shape to have a specific height and width, use one of the following methods: Under Drawing Tools or Picture Tools, on the Format tab, in the Size group, click Shape Height or Shape Width, enter the measurement, and press ; or right-click the shape and click Size and Position; or under Drawing Tools or Picture Tools, on the Format tab, in the Size group, click the Dialog box launcher.

Lesson 3
Changing the Order of Content

When you have created an illustration with several shapes, you may find that the shapes overlap each other but not in the right order. You may want some shapes to appear in front and the others to appear behind them. PowerPoint allows you to change the order of overlapping shapes by moving them as follows: Bring to the Front Bring Forward Send to the Back Send Backward Bring the shape to the front of all the shapes. Bring the shape from behind the shape that is directly in front of it. Send the shape to the back of all the shapes. Send the shape to behind the shape that is directly behind it.
To change the order of shapes, use one of the following methods: On the Home tab, in the Drawing group, click Arrange, and click Bring to Front or Send to Back; or under Drawing Tools or Picture Tools, on the Format tab, in the Arrange group, click Bring to Front or Send to Back; or right-click the shape and click Bring to Front or Send to Back.
Grouping and Ungrouping Content

When you create a diagram or a shape that is a collection of shapes, you must group all the shapes to easily resize and move the entire group. If you want to make a change to the group, you must ungroup the shapes to make a change, and then you will probably want to regroup or group the shapes. To group shapes, use one of the following methods: On the Home tab, in the Drawing group, click Arrange, and click Group; or under Drawing Tools or Picture Tools, on the Format tab, in the Arrange group, click Group; or right-click the shape and click Group.

Working with SmartArt

3.4 Illustrations and graphics help your audience understand and recall information better than large amounts of text. Creating quality illustrations can be challenging; you can spend a lot of time making shapes, sizing and aligning them, and manually formatting them. All the time you spend manually creating diagrams takes your attention away from the presentation content. Fortunately, PowerPoint provides a feature called SmartArt graphics that you can use to create designerquality illustrations quickly. You can do this easily by selecting from a collection of different layouts. When you create a SmartArt graphic, you are prompted to choose a diagram type, such as Process, Hierarchy, Cycle, or Relationship. Each type contains several different layouts.
94
Lesson 3
There are two main ways you can insert a SmartArt graphic into a slide. When you create slides, some slides provide placeholders for SmartArt graphics. These slides are Title and Content, Two Content, Comparison, Content with Caption, and Picture with Caption. However, you can also create a Title Slide, Title Only, Section Header, or Blank slide, and then add a SmartArt graphic to the slide. To insert a SmartArt graphic, use one of the following: To add a SmartArt graphic to a slide with a SmartArt graphic placeholder, click Insert SmartArt Graphic; or to add a SmartArt graphic to a slide without a SmartArt graphic placeholder, on the Insert tab, in the Illustrations group, click SmartArt.
When you select a layout, placeholder text appears. Placeholder text is not printed and does not appear during the presentation. You can replace the placeholder text with your own text. When a SmartArt diagram appears on a slide, the SmartArt Tools ribbon appears with two tabs (Design and Format) and with tools to manipulate the diagram:
Using the Text Pane

Instead of clicking each shape in the SmartArt graphic to add text, you can use the Text pane to enter and edit the text that appears in your SmartArt graphic. The Text pane appears to the left of your SmartArt graphic. As you add and edit your text in the Text pane, your SmartArt graphic is automatically updated. When you first create a SmartArt graphic, the SmartArt graphic and its Text pane are populated with placeholders that display as [Text]; you can replace these placeholders with your own text. At the top of the Text pane, you can edit the text that appears in your SmartArt graphic. At the bottom of the Text pane, you can view additional information about the SmartArt graphic.
95
Lesson 3
The Text pane works like a bulleted list that associates text to a SmartArt shape. You can promote or demote text levels in a similar manner to entering text in the Outline tab. To move forward to a shape, press To move backward to a shape, press . .
To create a subpoint, select the line that you want to indent and then, under SmartArt Tools, on the Design tab, in the Create Graphic group, click Demote. Alternatively, press . To return to a higher level in the Text pane, select the line and then, under SmartArt Tools, on the Design tab, in the Create Graphic group, click Promote. Alternatively, press + . To create a new line of bulleted text at the same level in the Text pane, press SmartArt Tools, on the Design tab, in the Create Graphic group, click Add Bullet. . Alternatively, under
Any of these manipulations updates the mapping between the bullets in the Text pane and the shapes in the layout for the SmartArt graphic.

Lesson 3
Modifying SmartArt Diagrams

3.4 When you create your SmartArt diagram, it may not appear exactly as you would like it. Using the SmartArt tools, you can easily modify SmartArt graphics and quickly format SmartArt with Quick Styles, change the colors, and apply other effects so that it looks exactly the way you want.
Using SmartArt Styles

If you think your SmartArt graphic looks uninteresting, apply a different SmartArt Style or color variation. Use options on the Design tab of the SmartArt Tools ribbon. The Change Colors feature provides a range of different color options for a SmartArt graphic, each one applying one or more colors in different ways to the shapes in your SmartArt graphic. When you point to a Change Color thumbnail, you can see how a SmartArt Style or color variation affects your SmartArt graphic without actually applying it. The colors offered are determined by the theme applied to the presentation. A quick and easy way to add a professionally designed combination of effects to your SmartArt graphics is to apply a SmartArt Style. SmartArt Styles include shape fills, edges, shadows, line styles, gradients, and three-dimensional (3D) perspectives, and are applied to the entire SmartArt graphic. You can also apply an individual Shape style to one or more shapes in your SmartArt graphic.
Even after you customize your SmartArt graphic, you can change to a different layout and most of your customizations will remain in place. You can also click Reset Graphic on the Design tab to remove all of your formatting changes and start over.
97
Lesson 3
You can change the look of your SmartArt graphic by changing the fill of its shape or text, by adding effects, such as shadows, reflections, glows, or soft edges, or by adding three-dimensional (3-D) effects, such as bevels or rotations. To change SmartArt colors, under SmartArt Tools, on the Design tab, in the SmartArt Styles group, click Change Colors. To change the SmartArt Style, under SmartArt Tools, on the Design tab, in the SmartArt Styles group, click More to view all the styles and click a style to apply. The number and types of styles vary based on the SmartArt diagram created. To remove all formatting changes, under SmartArt Tools, on the Design tab, in the Reset group, click Reset Graphic.
Changing the Diagram Type

When you select a layout, you must ask yourself what you want to convey and if you want your content to look a specific way. After you choose a layout, you can point to any of the different layouts displayed on the Design tab in the Layout group to see how your content will look with that layout applied. If you think your SmartArt graphic looks dull, switch to a different layout. When you switch layouts, most of your text and other content, colors, styles, and effects are automatically carried over to the new layout. Experiment with different layouts. List Process Cycle Hierarchy Hierarchy Relationship Matrix Pyramid Show nonsequential information. Show steps in a process or timeline. Show a continual process. Create an organization chart. Show a decision tree. Illustrate connections. Show how parts relate to a whole. Show proportional relationships with the largest component on the top or bottom.
To change the SmartArt graphic layout, under SmartArt Tools, on the Design tab, in the Layouts group, click More.

Changing the Orientation

Sometimes, when you create a SmartArt graphic, you may want to rotate it. PowerPoint enables you to easily rotate a SmartArt graphic using one of the following methods: On the Home tab, in the Drawing group, click Shape Effects, click 3-D Rotation, and then click a rotation or click 3-D Rotation Options; or under SmartArt Tools, on the Format tab, in the Shape Styles group, click Shape Effects, click 3-D Rotation, and then click a rotation or click 3-D Rotation Options.
When you click 3-D Rotation Options, you can customize the rotation of the SmartArt graphic.
99
Lesson 3
Presets provide a number of predefined rotation types. The X, Y, and Z axes define the orientation (rotation) and position of the camera (view) that displays the shapes. X is the horizontal axis, Y is the vertical axis, and Z is the third dimension of depth. Values for these axes are additive; that is, the camera is first rotated by the X value, then the Y value, and finally the Z value. Using Keeping text flat ensures that the text stays flat and readable if you rotate the shape.
Adding or Removing Shapes

If you cannot find the exact layout that you want, you can add and remove shapes in your SmartArt graphic to adjust the structure of the diagram. For example, the Basic Process layout in the Process type appears with three shapes, but your process may require only two shapes, or it may require five shapes. As you add or remove shapes and edit your text, the arrangement of the shapes and the amount of text within those shapes is updated automatically, maintaining the original design and border of the layout for your SmartArt graphic. To add a shape to a SmartArt graphic, use one of the following methods: Under SmartArt Tools, on the Design tab, in the Create Graphic group, click Add Shape to add a shape to the right of the selected shape; or under SmartArt Tools, on the Design tab, in the Create Graphic group, click the Add Shape arrow, and click either Add Shape After or Add Shape Before; or right-click a shape, click Add Shape, and click either Add Shape After or Add Shape Before.
To remove a shape from a SmartArt graphic, click the shape and use one of the following methods: Press ; or use one of the methods to cut the shape from the SmartArt diagram.

Inserting Media Clips

3.5 You can enhance a slide by adding a video or sound clip. Inserting a video clip (also called a movie clip or file) or adding sound to a slide can add interest to your presentation. However, relying too heavily on multimedia effects to carry your presentation can backfire. Too much sound and motion during a presentation can be confusing to your audience. Used thoughtfully, however, video and sound effects can quickly catch your viewers attention.
Using Sounds
Audio effects, such as music and voice recordings, can add another level of professionalism to your slide presentations. Music is an effective way to introduce or end a presentation and it gives your audience something to listen to as they enter and leave the presentation room. You can play a movie theme song as background music for several slides or play a voice recording of advertising slogans, for example.
103
Lesson 3
To prevent possible problems with links, it is a good idea to copy the sounds into the same folder as your presentation before you add the sounds to your presentation.
To insert a sound from a file, on the Insert tab, in the Media group, click Audio. Choose the location for the sound file or, if necessary, record the sound at this time. You can preview a sound clip before you add it to your presentation. In the Clip Art task pane, in the Results box that displays the available clips, move your mouse pointer over the clip's thumbnail, click the arrow that appears, and then click Preview/Properties. Once you have inserted a sound file on a slide, the Audio Tools group of tabs appears.
The Format tab allows you to adjust the icon inserted with the audio clip. The Playback tab allows you to adjust the audio clip itself, such as to adjust the volume, have the clip fade in or out, or trim the beginning or ending of the clip to focus on a particular part.

Using Movies
You can insert one or more video clips into any slide. You might want to play a video quote from your product manager, for example, or run a short documentary movie for a fundraising event. A typical movie clip can include a speaker talking, such as an executive who cannot attend the actual presentation. You can use a movie to train others or to perform a demonstration, or you can even create a video for product tutorials and educational materials. Movies are desktop video files with formats such as AVI or MPEG and file extensions such as .avi, .mov, .mpg, and .mpeg. To prevent possible problems with links, it is a good idea to copy the movies into the same folder as your presentation before you add the movies to your presentation. To insert a movie from a file, on the Insert tab, in the Media group, click Video.
You can choose whether to insert the movie from a file or from the Clip Organizer. You can preview a clip before you add it to your presentation.

Lesson 4
Working with Charts and Tables
Inserting Charts
Charts are a great way to present information in a visual way. They give an instant impression of trends, proportions or comparisons between sets of data, such as sales growth, over time. 4.2 4.3 4.4 4.5 In PowerPoint, you can easily create dynamic charts or graphs (both refer to the same feature). When you work with a PowerPoint chart, a separate Microsoft Excel window opens with the Microsoft Excel tabs and command buttons. When you first insert a chart, PowerPoint inserts a sample chart with sample data. You replace the data in the spreadsheet with your own data. You can also change the chart type to a different one that conveys the content more effectively. For example, pie or donut charts are appropriate to illustrate proportions, line charts are best used to display trends, and bar or column charts are most effective for displaying comparisons. To insert a chart, use one of the following: Using the content placeholder, in the Click to add text placeholder, click Insert Chart; or without a content placeholder, on the Insert tab, in the Illustrations group, click Chart.
Once you click a chart type, PowerPoint changes the screen to display the following:
110
Lesson 4
Notice that Excel opens with confirmation in the title bar that you are entering data for a chart in PowerPoint. There is a link between the two programs, enabling you to take advantage of the features in Excel. Focus on entering data in the area within the blue border. As you enter the data, PowerPoint updates the chart to reflect the data series. When you are finished entering the data and no longer require the Excel worksheet, close Excel to return to the chart in PowerPoint. You will then see the Chart Tools ribbon with three tabs to manipulate the chart:
Changing the Chart Type

Later, it may become apparent that the chart you chose is not the most appropriate type to illustrate the data effectively. For example, if the data are showing a trend, a line chart would be more appropriate. Column Line Pie Bar Area XY (Scatter) Stock Surface Doughnut Bubble Radar Compare values over time or categories in a vertical presentation. The column shapes can be rectangular, cylindrical, conical, or pyramid-shaped. Compare continuous trends. Compare series that make up the whole. Compare values over time or categories in a horizontal presentation. As with the column chart type, you can select various bar shapes. Compare a continuous change in volume. Determine data patterns. Display high-low-close data. To use this display, you must have at least three sets of data. Display trends in values with a 3-D presentation and a continuous surface. Similar to the pie chart, but for more than one set of data points. Compare three values. The values are displayed like a scatter chart, with the points presented by bubbles. Determine patterns or trends with points matched up by lines.
To change the chart type, use one of the following methods: Under Chart Tools, on the Design tab, in the Type group, click Change Chart Type, and click a chart type; or right-click the chart and click Change Chart Type.

Using Tables
4.1 Tables enable you to organize information into rows and columns to easily show the relationship among sets of data. For example, you might list regions of a country in the left column followed by several columns of data for sales by year for each region.
Inserting Tables
Creating tables is easy in PowerPoint. On the Insert tab, in the Tables group, click the Table arrow, click Insert Table, specify the number of rows and columns you want, and then fill in the data. That is all there is to it! Of course, thinking about what data to include is up to you. You can insert a table with a content placeholder and then type labels and data in the table cells, or insert a table into a slide that does not have a content placeholder. To insert a table, use one of the following:
To add a table to a slide with a content placeholder, in the Click to add text placeholder, click Insert Table; or on the Insert tab, in the Tables group, click Insert Table; or to add a table to a slide without a content placeholder, on the Insert tab, in the Tables group, click Table.
This option provides an instant confirmation of the number of columns and rows for the table as well as displaying this information in the title bar of this grid.
Drawing Tables
You can draw your own tables in PowerPoint, giving you the flexibility to create a unique or complex table structure. To draw a table, on the Insert tab, in the Tables group, click Table, and click Draw Table. When the pointer changes to a pencil, you can define the outer table borders by dragging to the size that you want.
121
Lesson 4
When drawing a table, draw the outer table boundaries first.
Next, draw horizontal borders to create as many rows as you need.
Then, draw vertical borders to create as many columns as you need.
As you draw the borders, PowerPoint displays a dashed line to show the length of the border. When you draw the first border, PowerPoint always draws this to its full length. As you begin to draw a border where it may intersect with another border, PowerPoint enables you to draw a partial border to set up different size boxes in the table. You can also draw a diagonal line within one or more boxes in the table.
To erase a border, under Table Tools, on the Design tab, in the Draw Borders group, click Eraser. When the mouse cursor changes to an eraser, you can click an existing border to erase it from the table. Erase the borders in a similar way to the way you drew them. For instance, in the following example, if you no longer want the border for the first row, position the eraser on the border, and then click and drag across to select this border and erase it. If you want to remove the last border for rows 2 and 3, you only have to drag down this border to the bottom of row 2 to mark it for removal.
Working with Text in Tables

Text is the most common type of information inserted into a table. Inserting text is as simple as moving to the box or cell for the text and beginning to type. To move to the next cell for text entry, press or press + to move to the previous cell. Once you have entered your text, you can format or delete it in the same manner as you do with text in other placeholders. If, at the last cell in the table, you find you need another row for data entry, press You can also click in the cell instead of using the keyboard. If you type more than one line of information in a cell or press within the cell, the height of the cell automatically increases. When you enter more text than can fit on one line in the cell, the text wraps to the next line. Regardless of which method you use to create a table, once the table displays on the screen, PowerPoint displays the Table Tools ribbon so that you can manipulate text or other objects in the table. to create a new row.

Lesson 5
Enhancing Presentations
Using Animation
5.1 5.2 5.3 Successful presenting entails focusing on important points, controlling the flow of information, and holding the audience's interest in your presentation. Animation is a way of moving text and objects around on your slides, to capture the audiences interest. For example, you might animate a set of bullet points by making each one fly in from the left, one at a time. You can also animate objects such as charts, tables, and graphics so that they move across your screen from top to bottom, or you could use animation to cause a slide title or your company logo to spin around on the slide. Animations enable you to add emphasis to text or objects on your slides. They also help your audience follow your presentation by leading them through important points in your presentation. You should avoid overusing animations as they can make your presentation too busy, distracting the audience from your message and content. Using animation sparingly will grab your viewers attention and guide them through your presentation more effectively.
Applying, Changing, or Removing Animations

PowerPoint contains a collection of built-in animations that you can apply to objects on a slide. These animations are grouped into four broad types: entrance effects, emphasis effects, exit effects, and motion paths. To apply animation, select a placeholder or object and, on the Animations tab, in the Animation group, click the animation style required.
Click More to display the full gallery of animations and options available.
To remove animation, select the placeholder and, on the Animations tab, in the Animation group, click More and then click None. 132
Lesson 5
As you add an animation effect to an object, a box appears on the slide with a number. This number represents the order in which a sequence of animations will occur. You can adjust the order in which the animated objects appear using the Animation Pane.
Adding Entrance Effects

Entrance effects animate objects as they enter during the slide show. The application of an entrance effect is indicated on the Animation Pane with a green icon. If you want more effects than shown in the gallery, click More Entrance Effects.
The Preview Effect check box is selected by default so that, as soon as you click an effect, you will see what it looks like in the Slide pane. As previewing an effect does not close the window, you can quickly try a variety of effects to see which one you like. When you are satisfied with an effect, click OK. As you select more effects from the dialog box, PowerPoint will include more effects in the short list.

Lesson 5
Adding Motion Paths

Motion Paths enable objects to move around the slide show. This may involve something as simple as having the object move from one side of the slide to the other or as complicated as following curves or paths. Once you have attached a motion path to an object, moving the object will also move the path. The application of a motion path effect is indicated on the Animation Pane with a grey line.
To view more motion paths, click More Effects.
Unlike the other effects, once you have selected the motion path there are some changes you can make that immediately alter how the effect works: The green arrow is the start of a motion path. The red arrow is the end of a motion path. The green circle is the rotation handle. The dashed line is the motion path along which the object travels during the animation. The handles enable you to alter the size of motion path. In the case of a predefined shape, the green arrow will be both the start and end point of that shape. The gallery in the Animation group provides additional motion paths for you to choose from.

Changing Animation Settings

Each animation you apply has its own set of default options that you can adjust to suit the presentation. Not all animations have the same settings, although there may be similar options for different effects. For instance, you can set bullet points to appear (or disappear) all at once or one point at a time,; you can set each point to dim when the next point appears; or you can set all points to dim once all points have appeared on the slide. To change the settings for an animation, use one of the following methods: On the Animations tab, in the Advanced Animation group, click Animation Pane to display a list of animations on the current slide; or
click the appropriate option from the Animations tab.
137
Lesson 5
Changing the Timing

The exact settings and the default values you see in the Animation pane will vary with the effects applied, but most of the time there is a Start and a Speed drop-down menu. The Start option lets you set when the effect will happen. The default is usually On Click. This means that the presentation will halt at this point and wait for a mouse click before running this particular effect. If you have a group of objects, each with this Start setting, you can use the mouse to control when each effect occurs. Other common settings include With Previous (the object appears at the same time as the previous effect) and After Previous (the object begins to appear automatically as soon as the previous effect has finished). The Speed option controls how fast the object moves along. On the Animations tab, in the Timing group, click the option to change; or
right-click the animation in the Animation pane and then click one of the options for Start; or
right-click the animation in the Animation Pane and then click Timing.
Changing the Order of Animation Items

You can rearrange the order of the animations using the Reorder buttons at the bottom of the Animation pane or use the options in the Timing group of the Animations tab.
Be sure to test the order of the animations to match what you envision during the presentation of this slide.
138
Lesson 5
Applying Effect Options

Each item in the Animation pane has a drop-down menu that provides a variety of effects. To change the effect, use one of the following methods: Select the animation and then, on the Animations tab, in the Animation group, click Effect Options; or
right-click the animation item in the Animation pane and then click Effect Options.
Note that the second option displays a dialog box with more options to change the effect. The Effect options vary depending on the animation; these options are listed in the top portion of the dialog box. The Enhancements area always displays the option to add sound, add an effect after the animation, or animate any text with this object.
139
Lesson 5
When animating text for the object, once you change the option to Word or Letter, you will have access to the last field to set the delay interval between words or letters. This can have a big impact if you want to emphasize some text but it can also be a distraction as your audience begins to guess the words and wants the presentation to move on.
Previewing the Animation

Whether you make changes to the animation settings or use them with the default settings, you should always view the animations to ensure they occur in the order you want and with the animation you expect. To view your animation effects and settings, use one of the following methods: On the Animations tab, in the Preview group, click Preview; or click Play at the top of the Animation pane.

Using Slide Transitions

5.4 You have transitions that control how each slide replaces the previous one. The default is a simple cut from one slide to the next but, for reasons of content or aesthetics, you may want the change from one slide to another to have a different look. Transitions are attached to slides. To change the transition between two slides, you must add the transition to the second slide (that is, the slide that is appearing, not the one that is disappearing). Transitions add impact; however, you should be careful that you do not add so many different and dramatic transitions that it takes away from the content of the presentation. To add or modify a transition, on the Transitions tab, in the Transition to This Slide group, click a transition from the gallery.

Lesson 5
Using Slide Masters

PowerPoint uses slide and layout masters to establish a common look throughout the presentation. You use masters to format those aspects that you want presented consistently throughout the presentation, such as logo placement, title and footer placement, fonts, and colors. Working with masters enables you to change a presentation globally. PowerPoint provides three types of masters: the Slide Master controls the slides and title slide in your presentation; the Note Master controls the global aspects of notes; and the Handout Master controls the handouts. The slide master enables you to set up the basic infrastructure of your presentation to save you making those settings on every slide. You work with the Slide Master when you want to apply global settings such as text formats, bullet styles, and master graphics. To activate the Slide Master view, on the View tab, in the Presentation Views group, click Slide Master.

Lesson 5
Formatting a Slide Master

Formatting a slide master ensures that a consistent look is applied to all slides based on slide master layouts. When you format a slide master, such as by changing the font size for slide titles or adding a footer or graphic to the master, PowerPoint applies it to every slide in the presentation. It also saves you the time required to format each slide individually.
Learn the Skill

In this exercise, you will learn how to edit the slide master and layouts in a presentation.

Lesson Objectives
The objectives of this lesson are to look at different features for reviewing, protecting, and printing a shared presentation. Upon successful completion of this lesson, you should be able to:

insert, modify, and delete comments view and hide comments compare and combine presentations prevent changes to your presentation
mark a presentation as final review and edit document properties print a presentation create handouts

Lesson 6
Reviewing Presentations
6.1 6.2 When a slide presentation is a collaborative project, you can circulate the nearly finished slide show to other people for review and comments. Using the Comments feature in PowerPoint, you and others can review the presentation and add comments. A comment is a note that you can attach to an object or text on a slide, or to an entire slide. You would use comments to ask for or give feedback on a presentation. For example, you could: Offer suggestions for changes to a slide that you are reviewing. Insert questions for a reviewer to address. Add notes to the slide as reminders to get more information about a topic, revise a picture or some text, cite sources for information on the slide, or make other changes.
Commenting features are available on the Review tab in PowerPoint:
Inserting Comments
Comments in PowerPoint are like tags that you insert at various points in your presentation. In PowerPoint, you can insert comments at any place in a slide. To insert a comment, select the text or object on which you wish to comment and then, on the Review tab in the Comments group, click New Comment. A comment appears as a small square that contains an identifier, which consists of the initials of the person who added the comment and a comment number.
When you point to a comment or double-click on it, a window opens to show the text stored in the comment, the name of the reviewer, and the date that the comment was added to the slide.
When you move the pointer away from the comment, PowerPoint closes the comment box again. To keep a comment box open after you move the pointer away from the comment, click the comment. PowerPoint displays the comment box until you click another item. To customize the initials and name of the person adding the comment, click Help, click Options, and then change the information for the user in the General screen. When you receive a presentation from one or more people who have added comments, you will want to review the comments one at a time to address them. PowerPoint makes it easy to step through all of the comments in the presentation. To move forward or backwards to the next or previous comment, on the Review tab, in the Comments group, click Next or Previous.
Modifying Comments
Most presentations are works in progress. As you work on a slide, you are likely to make many changes to it, including changing the text in a comment. To change a comment, double-click the comment to open the comment box. Type your changes and then click outside the comment box to close it.
150
Reviewing Presentations To edit a comment, use one of the following methods: On the Review tab, in the Comments group, click Edit Comment; or right-click a comment and click Edit Comment; or double-click a comment.
Lesson 6
After you insert a few comments on a slide, you will likely decide that you want to move some of them. To move a comment, click the comment, and then drag it to a new location on the slide. When you have responded to a comment and no longer want the comment on the slide, you can delete it. To delete a comment, use one of the following methods: On the Review tab, in the Comments group, click Delete; or right-click a comment and click Delete Comment; or click the comment indicator and press .
MMM
Review a Presentation Creative Application Exercise
You can also delete all comments on a slide or throughout the presentation. To do so: On the Review tab, in the Comments group, click Delete All Markup on the Current Slide; or on the Review tab, in the Comments group, click Delete all Markup in this Presentation.
Rather than deleting comments individually, you can choose to display or hide all comments globally. To show or hide markups, on the Review tab, in the Comments group, click Show Markup.

On the Review tab, in the Comments group, click Show Markup to hide all comments.
10 Save the presentation as NorthCoastWindFarmStudent and then close it.
151
Lesson 6
Compare and Combine Presentations

If you send a presentation to others for feedback and they make changes to the content, rather than just adding comments, you may end up with several different versions of a presentation. You can use the Compare feature in PowerPoint to more easily find and review the differences between two versions of a presentation. To compare two presentations, open one version and then, on the Review tab, in the Compare group, click Compare to open the second version. For example, you would first open your version of the presentation and then compare it with the one modified by another user. When comparing two presentations, you can navigate through the differences and choose to incorporate changes from the second version into the version one at a time, or as a group. To navigate through the differences: In the Revisions task pane, click on a change in the list of Presentation Changes; or in the Revisions task pane, click on a specific change in the Details tab; or on the Review tab, in the Compare group, click Next Change or Previous Change.
For each difference, PowerPoint shows you details of the change and who made it. To incorporate changes from the second presentation into the first: On the Review tab, in the Compare group, click Accept Change; or in the Revisions task pane, on the Slides tab, click the checkbox for each change.
As you navigate through the differences, you can reject them and move on to the next difference with Reject Change. You can also choose to incorporate changes on a particular slide, or throughout the presentation, all at once. To accept multiple changes: On the Review tab, in the Compare group, click Accept All Changes to the Current Slide; or on the Review tab, in the Compare group, click Accept All Changes to the Presentation.
Similarly, you can choose to reject differences between slides or the entire presentation all at once. To reject multiple changes: On the Review tab, in the Compare group, click Reject All Changes to the Current Slide; or on the Review tab, in the Compare group, click Reject All Changes to the Presentation.

Select slide 3 and then view the changes listed in the Reviewing Pane. On the Review tab, in the Compare group, click Accept All Changes to the Presentation. Save the presentation as NorthCoastWindFarmFinalStudent.
Protecting a Presentation
PowerPoint offers several ways to protect a presentation from being changed. The most common method is to add a password to the presentation file. Consider the following regarding passwords: 7.4 Choose a password that fits logically with the presentation but is not too easy to figure out. Many network administrators suggest that passwords be eight or more characters in length, and have a mixture of casing, symbols, and alphanumeric characters (e.g. Jan11nk-3). Refrain from using your own name or those of your family, pets, or friends; someone who wants to access your file will try those options first. If you need to set passwords on many files, you may want to choose three to five passwords and alternate among them; this can make it easier for you to remember which passwords you should try in case you forget which password is attached to which file. Change your passwords occasionally so that no one remembers all of them. Be careful about how you communicate the password to others. If a file is sensitive and confidential, you may want to change the password after you have received all the reviews back.
Setting Passwords
To allow only authorized persons to view or modify your content, secure your entire presentation file with a password. It is critical that you remember your password. Store the passwords that you write down in a secure place away from the information that they help protect. To add a password to prevent unauthorized persons from opening a presentation, use one of the following methods: On the File tab, in the Info panel, click Protect Presentation, and then click Encrypt with Password; or in the Save As dialog box, click Tools and then click General Options.
153
Lesson 6
Password to open
Require the user to enter this password before he/she can open the file. You are required to enter the password a second time to verify that you want to set this password.
Password to modify Privacy options Macro security
Require a user to enter this password before they can make any changes to the file. As with setting a password to open the file, you are required to enter the password a second time to verify that you want to set this password to allow modifications. Set whether PowerPoint should automatically remove any personal information generally saved in the file properties. Set or change the security options for any files that use macros.
To change a password, open the file with the password and, in the General Options dialog box, delete the existing password, type: anewpassword, and save the file again. To remove a password, open the file with the password and, in the General Options dialog box, delete the existing password, and save the file again.
Marking a Presentation as Final

For security and integrity reasons, before you share an electronic copy of a presentation with others, you can make the presentation a read-only document, which prevents anyone else from making changes to it. Click File and, with Info selected, click Protect Presentation, and then click Mark as Final.
154
Lesson 6
When a presentation is marked as final, all typing, editing commands, and proofing marks become disabled or turned off and the presentation becomes read-only, which means that no one who is not authorized can change it. The presentations Status property is set to Final. Marking a presentation as final tells others who receive it that you are sharing a completed version of the presentation and it is not to undergo any further changes. The Mark as Final command is not a security feature because anyone can edit the presentation by simply removing the Mark as Final status. However, this status helps prevent reviewers or viewers from making accidental or inadvertent changes to the presentation.

Click File, click Save As and then, in the Save As dialog, click Tools and General Options. Remove the password to open, enter a new password in the Password to modify field, then again in the Reenter password to modify field, and click OK to confirm the password. When prompted, overwrite the existing saved presentation with the same name. Close the presentation and then re-open it as a read-only presentation. Notice that many of the tools on the Ribbon bar are unavailable.
Close the presentation and then re-open it and enter the password to modify.
10 Click File and then, on the Info panel, click Protect Presentation and Mark as Final, and click OK when prompted. Click OK again if an information dialog box is displayed. 11 Click File and then, on the Info panel, click Protect Presentation.

Lesson 6
Using Document Properties

PowerPoint presentations contain metadata about the presentation, such as the presentations title, author, and subject. This information can help you and others manage presentations. You can add or edit document properties in the Document Pane. To show the Document Pane, click File, click Info, click Properties, and then click Show Document Panel.

Document Properties Online Exercise
Using the Document Inspector
The hidden information in a file can present a security risk. PowerPoint presentations contain metadata in the properties that can reveal details about the author, your organization, or the presentation itself, as well as other information that is not visible in the content of the presentation. You may not want to share all this information with everyone who gets a copy of it. The types of hidden information that can be in a presentation include: Metadata Presentation properties, such as the author, subject, person who most recently saved a copy of the document, and date the presentation was created. Objects formatted as invisible. Comments made by reviewers. Objects dragged off the slide, which may not be visible, and the Notes section, which may contain information you do not want to share.
Invisible content Comments Headers, footers, off-slide content, and presentation notes
The Document Inspector can find and remove many types of hidden information. Before you share an electronic copy of the presentation with colleagues or clients, it is a good idea to review it for hidden data or personal information, either in the presentation itself or in the document properties. If this hidden information includes details about your organization or the presentation itself that you prefer to keep private, you can use the Document Inspector to remove it before sharing the presentation with others. To run the document inspector, click File and, with Info selected, click Check for Issues and click Inspect Document.

Printing Presentation Items

7.2 7.3 You can print a single slide, your entire presentation, or selected slides. You can print these for your own use, such as to review and edit hardcopies, or as handouts of a final version to give to a presentation audience. To print slides, use one of the following methods: Click File and click Print; or press +
157
Lesson 6 Use the options in the middle panel of Backstage to set what is to print: To select what you want to print, click Print All Slides and then make the appropriate selection. Before you can use Print Selection, you need to have selected the slides in the Slides tab. You can also indicate which slides to print by typing the slide numbers into the Slides field.
Use the Full Page Slides option to determine the layout for the slides, handouts, or other types of formats for the presentation. Note that you can choose to print the slides with any notes in the Notes pane by using the Notes Pages layout. PowerPoint can also produce an outline that displays the text on your slides in a table of contents layout. Note also that you can choose to have the handouts printed vertically instead of in the traditional horizontal orientation for distribution to the audience.
If your printer is capable of printing double-sided, you can choose Print on Both Sides or choose Print One Sided.
If you are printing multiple copies, you can select how the copies are organized or collated when printing.
You can also set the color here for the hard copy of the presentation. If you do not have a color printer, the Color option will not be available. As noted previously, if the hard copy is for review or your own notes, consider printing without the color for a faster and less costly print.
158
Lesson 6
It is a good idea to make sure your slides and the desired print output are what you want before you print. This is especially true of slides with colorful or dark backgrounds. Use the Preview tool to see what your printout will look like before you print. A preview of your printout is shown on the right side of the Backstage view. You can use the options across the bottom of the preview area to adjust the view.
To make changes to the actual slides, return to Normal view.
Sending a Presentation to Microsoft Word

If you cannot find a built-in printing format for your handouts in PowerPoint, the Send to Word feature is a great alternative. You can use Send to Word to make slide thumbnails, notes, or blank lines that you can modify as necessary to provide a customized handout for your audience. To send a presentation to Microsoft Word, click File, click Save & Send, click Create Handouts, and then click Create Handouts. Click an appropriate Page layout option button and click Paste to send a snapshot of your presentation to Microsoft Office Word. Alternatively, click Paste link to create a link between the presentation and the document, so that if you make changes to your presentation the Word document content is updated automatically. When you click OK, the presentation converts to a Word document and opens for viewing, editing, and saving.

Lesson 7
Delivering a Presentation
Sharing a Presentation
7.1 7.2 8.2 The rapid adoption of the Internet into everyday life demonstrates how communication helps people to connect in social and work settings. Todays workplace leverages the power of technology to increase worker productivity in creating, analyzing, and sharing data, leading to faster and more informed decisionmaking. Most office workers now have at least one computer and almost every one of them connects to the others using the corporate local area network. PowerPoint taps into this pervasive connectivity with its built-in ability to send presentations to others using e-mail, the Internet, and Microsoft SharePoint. After adding images to your PowerPoint presentation, your PowerPoint file may become very large. This can cause problems such as slow presentation performance or erratic presentation behavior, and it can make it difficult to e-mail a presentation if it is a large file. When you add pictures to PowerPoint, they are stored in an un-optimized format. For example, when you crop a picture, the parts that you cropped are still taking up space so that you can un-crop the image later if required. If the picture is at a high resolution, the fine details remain regardless of whether you reduced the height and width of the picture. It is therefore important that you compress pictures to help reduce the PowerPoint file size. To compress pictures, use one of the following methods: Click File, click Save As, click Tools., and click Compress Pictures; or select a picture and then, under Drawing Tools, on the Format tab, in the Adjust group, click Compress Pictures. Print Screen E-mail Compress while maintaining excellent quality when printed. Compress for viewing as a web page or on a projector. Compress viewing quality for sending or receiving email.

Lesson 7
Packaging Presentations for a CD

Packaging your presentation to a CD or folder makes your presentation ready to view on any computer that has a CD/DVD drive or a network connection to the folder. The available computer does not need to have PowerPoint installed. Packaging for CD includes the PowerPoint Viewer so you can play your presentation on any computer, even those that do not have PowerPoint installed. This feature automates the process of gathering all aspects of your presentation necessary for running your slideshow (including fonts, multimedia, linked content, and the PowerPoint viewer). It places them into a folder ready for you to burn onto a CD. You can even save more than one presentation to your CD and indicate the order in which you wish the presentations to run. To package a presentation to a CD, click File, click Save & Send, click Package Presentation for CD, and click Package for CD.
Name the CD Add Files Options
Type the name of the CD. Add additional presentations to the current presentation. Specify settings for what is included with the package and how the presentation will be packaged.
Include these files
Ensure files that are linked to your presentation are included in the package and TrueType fonts are embedded in your presentation. Require other users to supply a password before they can open or edit any of the copied presentations. Inspect your presentation for hidden data and personal information.

Use the folder name Ski Tours and browse to the student data files folder. Leave Open folder when complete selected and click OK. Choose to include linked files. When the presentation has been packaged, the student data files folder will open in Windows Explorer, showing you the files ready to be burned to a CD.
Broadcasting a Presentation
If you cant deliver a presentation in person, you can broadcast it over the Internet to a remote audience. While you present the slide show inside PowerPoint, your audience follows along in their web browsers. To broadcast your presentation, on the Slide Show tab, in the Start Slide Show group, click Broadcast Slide Show. The Broadcast Slide Show dialog box opens.
The broadcast slide show feature requires a network service to host the presentation, such as is available to anyone with a Windows Live account. When you start a broadcast with the PowerPoint Broadcast Service, you will be provided with a link to email to the audience. When a recipient clicks the link, they will see your presentation in their web browser, as you deliver it.
164
Lesson 7
However, some PowerPoint features change when the slide show is broadcast rather than delivered as a presentation: All transitions in the presentation are shown as Fade transitions. Audio (sounds, narration) is not transmitted to the audience. You cannot add ink annotations or markup drawn onto the slide show during the presentation. If you follow a hyperlink in your presentation to a Web site, the attendees only see the last slide you showed in the original presentation. If you play a video in your presentation, the browser does not show it to the audience. to exit Slide Show view and then
After you finish presenting and are ready to end the broadcast, press click End Broadcast.
Using E-mail
One way to share presentations quickly with others is to send them by e-mail. The downside of this is that every recipient gets his or her own copy of the presentation. These individuals often make changes or add comments to their copy of the presentation and send it back. The originator must then merge these copies together. To send a presentation using e-mail from within PowerPoint, do the following steps: 1 2 Open the presentation. On the File tab, click Save & Send.
Ensure Send Using E-mail is selected and then click one of the following buttons: Send as Attachment Send a Link Send as PDF Send as XPS Send as Internet Fax
165
Lesson 7 Send as Attachment Send as Link
Delivering a Presentation Create a new e-mail message with your presentation included as an attachment. When you click the Send button, Outlook sends the e-mail and the attached presentation to the intended recipient. Launch Outlook with a new e-mail message containing a hyperlink to your presentation. Unlike Send as Attachment, Send as PDF, or Send as XPS, your recipients do not receive a file; instead, they open the original presentation by clicking the hyperlink in the e-mail. Note that your presentation must be stored in a shared location (such as a network drive) so that your recipients can access it from wherever they are located. Convert the presentation into a PDF (Portable Document Format) before you send it. Then Outlook creates a new e-mail message with this PDF file included as an attachment. The PDF format allows the recipient to view and print the presentation, but it does not permit them to make changes. Convert the presentation into XPS format before sending. As with Send as PDF, PowerPoint converts the presentation and then Outlook creates a new e-mail message with this XPS file included as an attachment; recipients can view and print the presentation but they cannot make changes to it. Convert the presentation into an electronic fax file and send it to the Internet fax software installed on your local computer.
Send as PDF
Send as XPS
Send as Internet Fax
Select Send as Link as your preferred method when sharing with co-workers within the same organization. Avoid sending a document as an attachment because you will simply create more work for yourself when your co-workers make changes to their copies of the presentation, possibly at the same time as you are doing so. If, instead, you put the presentation into a shared location and send out a link, everyone (including you) is always updating the same presentation. The Send as PDF or Send as XPS are useful alternatives if you want to prevent recipients from making changes to the presentation.
Saving to the Web

Another way of sharing presentations with others is to use a web-based storage service such as the Microsoft SkyDrive. SkyDrive is one of the components of Microsofts Windows Live group of online services. Every registered Windows Live user has a SkyDrive with 25 GB of storage space at no cost. By default, you have two main folders: My Documents and Public. Anyone with a Windows Live ID can access any files in the Public folder at any time; any files you put into the My Documents folder are only accessible by you, except for the ones that you designate your contacts can share. You can also add other online Web-based storage services to store your documents. To save a presentation to the SkyDrive from within PowerPoint, do the following: 1 2 3 Open the presentation. On the File tab, click Save & Send. Under Save & Send, click Save to Web.

If necessary, click Sign In to access the SkyDrive. Enter your login ID and password in Windows Live. Word then displays the folders in your SkyDrive.
Click one of the SkyDrive folders (e.g. Public or My Documents) and then click Save As.
The Save As dialog box appears (there may be a short wait while the connection is completed with the SkyDrive). Although it looks like any other folder on your computer or a network drive, it is actually a remote drive provided as part of your Windows Live account. If you want to share your presentation with others, be sure to select the Public folder. 7 8 9 If desired, change the File name and/or Save as type. Click Save. If necessary, make any other changes to the presentation and save these changes. Note that, any time you save changes, you are saving them directly to the presentation in the SkyDrive, not to your local computer.
10 Close the presentation. The document is now accessible from the SkyDrive.
Using SharePoint
Another method of sharing presentations with co-workers is by using SharePoint. Recognizing that people working together are more productive than people working alone, Microsoft designed SharePoint to facilitate presentation sharing within an organization and among authorized users in partner organizations. The term Web-based collaborative environment refers to this kind of online sharing. SharePoint brings together the many different tools that people use to share, including: Shared network drives to store files and documentsIn the past, a company or IT department would designate specific computers to store these files. Access security quickly followed to ensure protection of confidential files. However, in any organization, after a few years, the demand for shared storage space usually exceeds the space available, representing an ongoing administrative nightmare for most IT departments. 167
Lesson 7
Delivering a Presentation Document version controlA collaborative environment brings a new set of challenges and headaches, primarily the dispersal of ownership and loss of control over changes made, which often leads to uncontrolled and haphazard changes. For example, someone may delete a document accidentally or make changes that conflict with another persons changes. Version control ensures that only one person enters their changes at any one time. If someone accidentally deletes a document or makes unwanted changes, this feature allows you to restores a previous version easily. Workflow controlYou can designate documents to be funneled through workflow processes, such as approving purchase requisitions or media releases. The system then automatically routes the document to the next person in the workflow when the current approver has completed his or her work. Social networkingFacebook is an example of social networking. E-mailAnnouncements, notices, and other team communications often sent by e-mail can be quickly lost in the daily volume of e-mail. An effective collaboration site has a section containing the communications that are most relevant to the team without having to wade through e-mails. Other shared communicationsThese include things such as corporate or team calendars, surveys, and polls.
To save a presentation to SharePoint from PowerPoint, do the following: 1 2 3 4 Open the presentation. On the File tab, click Share. Under Share, click Save to SharePoint. If necessary, click Browse for a location.
The Save As dialog box now appears, allowing you to navigate to the SharePoint site where the presentation is to be stored. A SharePoint site can be designed in many different ways; the following illustration shows one example where documents of various types are stored.
168
Lesson 7
Publishing Presentations
An alternative to saving to SharePoint is to publish the slides to a library or a Sharepoint site where multiple other presentations exist. This option assumes that there is an organizational structure or library where most files are stored for the use of anyone with access to the library. To publish a presentation, click File, click Save & Send, click Publish Slides, and then click Publish Slides.
Saving in Other Formats

7.1 7.2 Sometimes you may need to save a PowerPoint 2010 presentation in another format. For example, you may need to work with colleagues who dont have PowerPoint 2010, or you may want to create a selfrunning PowerPoint show or video. PowerPoint 2010 offers many ways of saving in other formats.
Save in an Earlier PowerPoint Format

If you are working with colleagues who have earlier versions of PowerPoint, you may need to save your presentation to an earlier format so they can open it. You may not be able to include some features in your presentation in that format. For example, SmartArt was introduced in PowerPoint 2007 so if you save a presentation to an earlier version, SmartArt graphics are converted to simple shapes. To save a presentation to PowerPoint 97-2003, use one of the following methods: Click File, then Save & Send. , Click Change File Type, click PowerPoint 97-2003 Presentation, and then click Save As; or click File, click Save As, and then select PowerPoint 97-2003 Presentation as the File Type; or press , click the arrow for Save as type, and click PowerPoint 97-2003 Presentation.

In this exercise, you will learn how to save a presentation as a PowerPoint 97-2003 presentation.
With the Ski Tours Student presentation open, click File, click Save & Send, click Change File Type, click PowerPoint 97-2003 Presentation, and then click Save As. Notice that PowerPoint appends .ppt as the extension.
169
Lesson 7 2
Delivering a Presentation The Compatibility Checker dialog alerts you to features that may be lost by saving in an earlier version. Since you still have the original PowerPoint 2010 version, you can safely save this as a PowerPoint 97-2003 presentation. Click Continue and then close the presentation.
Creating PowerPoint Shows

You can save your presentation as a PowerPoint Show, which is a different file type and has the file extension .ppsx. When you save a presentation as a PowerPoint Show, when you or other people doubleclick the file, it automatically launches into slide show mode. This appears more professional when delivering your presentation, as you do not spend time opening PowerPoint, then opening the PowerPoint presentation file, and then running the slide show. It also enables those who are unfamiliar with PowerPoint to just double-click the file and view the slide show. To save the PowerPoint presentation as a PowerPoint show, use one of the following methods: Click File, click Save & Send, click Change File Type, click PowerPoint Show, and then click Save As; or click File, click Save As, click the arrow for Save as type, and click PowerPoint Show; or press , click the arrow for Save as type, and click PowerPoint Show.

Click Save. On your desktop, double-click My Computer to open Windows Explorer. Navigate to the folder in which you saved the PowerPoint show, and then double-click on it to open it as a show, rather than an editable presentation. Press to exit the show and then close the presentation.
Save a Presentation as a PDF or XPS File

Sometimes you want to save files so that they cannot be modified, but you still want them to be easy to share and print. You can save a PowerPoint presentation in PDF or XPS formats without needing additional software or add-ins. A PDF (Portable Document Format) file can be opened and viewed in Adobe Reader and similar software, while XPS (XLM Paper Specification) files can be opened in the XPS viewer included with Microsoft Windows. Both formats preserve the layout and formatting of a presentation, allowing others to see the slides as you designed them, but without animations or transitions. To save a PowerPoint presentation as a PDF or XPS file, use one of the following methods: Click File, click Save & Send, click Create PDF/XPS Document, click Create PDF/XPS, and then, in the File Type field, select PDF or XPS; or click File, click Save As, click the arrow for Save as type, and click PDF or XPS; or press , click the arrow for Save as type, and click PowerPoint Show.
170
Lesson 7
In the Save As dialog, an Options button brings up a choice of what part of the presentation to save as a PDF or XPS, including Slides, Notes, Handouts, or an Outline. You can also create an XPS file by selecting File, then Print and in the list of printers, selecting Microsoft XPS Document Writer. Once you have saved a presentation as a PDF or XPS file, you cannot convert it back to a PowerPoint presentation without specialized software, so be sure you also save it as a PowerPoint presentation file.
Learn the Skill

In this exercise, you will learn how to save a presentation as an XPS.
With the Ski Tours Student presentation open, click File, click Save & Send, click Create PDF/XPS Document, click Create PDF/XPS, and then, in the File Type field, select XPS.

Lesson 7
Save a Presentation as Images

Another way to save a presentation is as pictures. You can save individual slides or the whole presentation in PNG or JPEG format. PNG format is a good choice if the slides will be printed, while JPEG format is a good choice for e-mailing the pictures or displaying them on a Web page. To save a slide or presentation as an image, use one of the following methods: Click File, click Save & Send, click Change File Type, click PNG Portable Network Graphics or JPEG File Interchange Format, and then click Save As; or click File, click Save As, click the arrow for Save as type, and then click either PNG Portable Network Graphics or JPEG File Interchange Format; or press , click the arrow for Save as type, and then click either PNG Portable Network Graphics or JPEG File Interchange Format.

Save a Presentation as a Video

When you want to give a high-fidelity version of your presentation to colleagues or customers (as an e-mail attachment, published to the web, or on a CD or DVD), you can save it and let it play as a video. Videos are saved in Windows Media Video (.wmv) format. You can choose the screen size of the video. The larger the screen size, the easier it will be to see details in the video, but also the larger the file size. Choose a size that suits the way you will deliver the video:
Since the presentation is a video, slides must advance automatically. If you have recorded timings in the presentation, you can use them, or you can choose to have all slides advance after the same interval:

Navigate to the folder in which you saved the video and then double-click on it to view it in the video player installed in Windows.
Saving a Presentation as an Outline

Just as you can create a presentation based on an outline from a Word document or similar text file, you can save a presentation as a text outline. This could be useful when you want to create a document with the same headings as in a presentation, but different content. To save a presentation as an outline, use one of the following methods: Click File, click Save & Send, click Change File Type, click Save as Another File Type, and then click Save As, click the arrow for Save as type and then select Outline/RTF; or click File, click Save As, click the arrow for Save as type, and then click Outline/RTF; or press , click the arrow for Save as type, and then click Outline/RTF.

Lesson 7
Saving a Presentation as an OpenDocument

There are other software applications used for creating presentations, such as OpenOffice, StarOffice, Corel WordPerfect Office and Keynote. Many of these applications support opening presentations saved in a format known as OpenDocument. You can save a PowerPoint presentation to this format so that someone with one of these applications can open and edit the presentation. Since different applications have different features, not all elements in a PowerPoint presentation may be fully editable in another application (e.g. SmartArt may be converted to an image). To save a presentation in OpenDocument format, use one of the following methods: Click File, click Save & Send, click Change File Type, click Save as Another File Type, and then click Save As, click the arrow for Save as type and then select OpenDocument Presentation; or click File, click Save As, click the arrow for Save as type, and then click OpenDocument Presentation; or press , click the arrow for Save as type, and then click OpenDocument Presentation.

Running the Slide Show

8.4 You have typed a lot of text, inserted graphics and animations, and set a number of options. By doing all this, you have built a slide show that is only a click away. To run your slide show, use the Slide Show view to display your slide show in full screen. You now see your presentation the way your audience will see it. Use the Slide Show tab to set up different options for the slide show:
To switch to the Slide Show view, use one of the following methods: On the Slide Show tab, in the Start Slide Show group, click From Beginning to run the slide show from the first slide regardless of which slide you are currently viewing; or on the Slide Show tab, in the Start Slide Show group, click From Current Slide to run the slide show starting from the current slide; or on the status bar, click the Slide Show View button to view the slide show from the current slide; or press to run the slide show from the first slide regardless of which slide you are currently viewing.

Customizing the Slide Show

Setting Slide Show Options
8.2 You can check the settings for the type of show to be presented, as well as the options for running the show. These options include whether the show should run continuously, whether you should apply transitions, what presentation tools you should use, and whether you should show a presentation with different resolutions. To set slide show options, on the Slide Show tab, in the Set Up group, click Set Up Slide Show.
The Set Up Show dialog box enables you to select options such as which slides to show, what color pen to use, or whether to Loop continuously until Esc, which restarts your presentation from the first slide after the last slide is shown. You can also set up self-running presentations, such as those shown in a window or kiosk where there is no presenter; the viewer goes through the presentation at their own pace. How you present the slide show can affect how an audience reacts to the presentation. For example, if there will be a speaker, you may want to include animation, lots of pictures, and color options to keep the audiences interest. A show that runs on its own may contain text points instead of animation to reduce the amount of time required for a passerby to watch the entire show.
176
Lesson 7
You may want to use two monitors for your presentation: one you run the show from and one the audience views. This enables you to run another program while the show runs if you want, and to use Presenter view with tools to make running a show easier. You can also set your screen resolution to show a presentation with more or less fine detail, particularly if the resolution supported by the projector differs from the resolution of your computer monitor. You can customize a presentation to present different slides to different audiences in a variety of ways, including only showing specific slides, showing custom shows, and hiding specific slides. Sometimes you create a large presentation but decide that, for a particular audience or in a particular setting, you only want to show some of the slides. You can specify a range of slides to show. To customize slide show options, on the Slide Show tab, in the Set Up group, click Set Up Slide Show.
Hiding One or More Slides

You may decide to give a presentation but not to show every slide. For example, if you have a long presentation about benefits that includes managerial information, but you are showing the presentation to production workers, you can hide the irrelevant slides. To limit the presentation to a single range of slides, on the Slide Show tab, in the Set Up group, click Set Up Slide Show, then specify the slides to use in the Show slides area. To hide or unhide individual slides, use one of the following methods: In Normal or Slide Sorter view, on the Slide Show tab, in the Set Up group, click Hide Slide; or in Slide Sorter view, right-click the slide and click Hide Slide in the shortcut menu.
If you have hidden the slide, it will appear washed out in the Slides tab with a border around the slide number and a diagonal line through the slide number. To select and hide multiple sequential slides, click the first slide and then hold while you click the last slide you want To select multiple non-sequential slides, hold while you click each slide you want. Then click Hide Slide.

Select slide 4 and then, on the Slide Show tab, in the Set Up group, click Hide Slide to unhide this slide. Save the slide show as RunofRiverPowerPlantStudent.
177
Lesson 7
Using Custom Shows

You can adapt a single presentation to a variety of audiences by creating custom shows within it. This saves you the effort of duplicating a whole presentation, saving it as a new file, and modifying it to suit a new audience. A custom slide show is like a show within a show or chapters in an electronic book. You can create the slide show and then go to the various "chapters" during the show to view those sections of the presentation. You can also create custom shows from slides that you group together within your presentation. You can group slides into as many different custom shows as you like. Name each custom show and, when you give the presentation, select the custom show that you want for a particular audience. You can use custom shows to give separate presentations to different groups in your organization. For example, if your presentation contains six slides, you can create a custom show named "Seminar" that includes just slides 1, 5, and then 1519. You can then create a second custom show named "Trade Show" that includes slides 15, 9, 12, 14, and 2025. When you create a custom show from a presentation, you can always run the entire presentation in its original sequential order. To create a new custom show, on the Slide Show tab, in the Start Slide Show group, click Custom Slide Show, and click Custom Shows.
Click New to enter a name for the new show and choose the slides for this custom show.
To select multiple sequential slides, click the first slide and then hold while you click the last slide that you want. To select multiple non-sequential slides, hold while you click each slide that you want. To preview a custom show, click the name of the show in the Custom Shows dialog box, and then click Show. To modify a custom show, on the Slide Show tab, in the Start Slide Show group, click Custom Slide Show, and click Custom Shows. Select the show to be changed and then click Edit. To delete a custom show, on the Slide Show tab, in the Start Slide Show group, click Custom Slide Show, and click Custom Shows. Select the show and then click Remove.
To show a custom show, on the Slide Show tab, in the Start Slide Show group, click Custom Slide Show, and click the name of the custom show.

On the Slide Show tab, in the Start Slide Show group, click Custom Slide Show, and click Investors. Advance through the slides and notice that only slides 1, 2, 3, and 5 are included. Save the presentation.
Using Presentation Tools

8.1 PowerPoint offers a variety of presentation tools that you can use when delivering your presentation in Slide Show view. Presentation tools enable you to move to the next slide, the previous slide, or a specific slide, to end the show, and to select pointer options (e.g. an arrow, pen, or highlighter). To view the presentation tools, right-click a slide in the slide show and click Pointer Options:
Point at the button to display it in color and activate it. To display a simulated laser pointer, press and click the left mouse button. Unlike the Pen and Highlighter tools, the laser pointer does not leave any marks on the slides.

10 Save the presentation and then close it.
Rehearsing a Presentation
8.3 You can rehearse your presentation to make sure that it fits within a certain timeframe. While you rehearse, use the Slide Timing feature to record the time that you need to present each slide, and then use the recorded times to advance the slides automatically when you give your presentation to your actual audience. It is a good approach to manually run a presentation in front of an audience, but then perhaps leave the presentation running automatically while the audience is having coffee or tea to keep their focus on the topic of the presentation. To rehearse timings, on the Slide Show tab, in the Set Up group, click Rehearse Timings. PowerPoint displays the Rehearsal toolbar to help you manage this procedure.

Customizing Rehearsed Timings

You can rehearse your PowerPoint presentation by progressing through the presentation as if you were seeing it for the first time. As you click the mouse to advance the slides, you can record the timings on the slides. If you later decide that the timings are too quick or too long, you do not have to rehearse the timings for the entire presentation again; you can simply customize the timings for one or more slides. To modify a slides timing, on the Animations tab, in the Transition to This Slide group, click in the timing for Automatically After and increase or reduce the amount of time. To remove the rehearsed timing from a slide, on the Animations tab, in the Transition to This Slide group, click Automatically After to turn it off. To have the option of advancing the slide using the mouse with or without rehearsed timings, on the Animations tab, in the Transition to This Slide group, click On Mouse Click. To run the show using the timings, use one of the following methods: On the Slide Show tab, in the Set Up group, click Use Timings; or on the Slide Show tab, in the Set Up group, click Set Up Slide Show, and click Using timings if present.
