Create a new presentation
You can create a new presentation in several ways. You can start by
working with the AutoContent wizard, in which you begin with a presentation
that contains suggested content and design. The AutoContent wizard contains
sample presentations for a variety of topics, for example, for a company
meeting or event planning and also contains presentations you can use on the
Internet.
Another way to start a presentation is by selecting a design template that
determines the presentation's design but doesn't include content. You can also
begin with an outline you import from another application, such as Word, or with
a blank presentation that has neither suggested content nor design.

Create a presentation based on a blank presentation

1 On the File menu, click New, and then click the General tab.
2 Double-click Blank Presentation, and then select a layout for your first slide.
The new presentation uses the color scheme and title and text styles of the
default presentation.
3 Type the title and any other content you want on the title slide.
4 On the Common Tasks toolbar, click New Slide, scroll to see more layouts,
and then select a layout for the next slide.
5 Add the content you want, and then repeat steps 4 and 5 for each new
slide.
6 When you finish, click Save on the File menu.
7 Name your presentation, and then click Save.

Note : To see how your slide show will look, click Slide Show
at the
lower left of the PowerPoint window.

Slide show design guidelines


When you give a slide show, the content should be center stage. You want
the tools you use such as animations and transitions to emphasize your points,
not draw the audience's attention to special effects.
If your audience reads from left to right, you might design your animated
slides so that your points fly in from the left. Then to emphasize a particular
point, try bringing it in from the right. The change will grab the audience's
attention and reinforce your point.
The same principle works with sound. An occasional burst of music or
sound during a transition or animation will focus the audience on the slide show.
However, frequent use of sound effects can draw attention away from your main
points.
The pace of your presentation also affects audience response going too
fast exhausts audience members, and going too slow puts them to sleep. You
can use PowerPoint features to rehearse your pace before you give a
presentation.

While you rehearse, you can also check your slides' visual impact. Too
many words or pictures can distract the audience. If you find yourself using too
much text, try turning one slide into two or three, and then increase the font
size.

Animate text and objects


1 In slide view, display the slide that has the text or objects you want to
animate.
2 On the Slide Show menu, click Custom Animation, and then click the Timing
tab.

To start the animation automatically, click Automatically, and then enter
the number of seconds you want to elapse between the previous animation
and the current one.

Graph, click the Chart Effects tab. For information about animating the
elements of a chart, click .
6 Under Entry animation and sound select the options you want. For Help on
an option, click the question mark and then click the option.
7 Repeat steps 3 through 6 for every object you want to animate. You can
click the Preview button to see how your animations work.
Tips

animate (in slide view), click the Slide Show menu, point to Preset
Animation, and then click the option you want.

Ways to run a slide show


Depending on your needs, you can run a slide show three different ways.
The following options are available when you click Set Up Show on the Slide
Show menu.

• Presented by a speaker (full screen) Click this option to run a full-


screen presentation the most common method usually with a speaker who
directs the show.
The presenter has complete control of the show and can run the show
automatically or manually, stop it to add meeting minutes or action items,
and even record narration as the show progresses. You also use this mode
when you want to project a slide show on a larger screen or use
presentation conferencing.

• Browsed by an individual (window) Click this option to run a smaller-


screen presentation for example, one that is browsed by an individual over
a company network.
The presentation appears in a smaller window, with commands available for
moving through the show and for editing, copying, and printing slides. In
this mode, you move from slide to slide by using the scroll bar, and you can
have another program open at the same time. You can also display the Web
toolbar so you can browse through other presentations and Office
documents.

• Browsed at a kiosk (full screen) Click this option to run a self-running


presentation for example, at a trade show or convention.
If you have a booth, kiosk, or other location where you want to run an
unattended slide show, you can set up the show to run with most menus
and commands unavailable and to restart automatically after each showing.

Start a slide show


Depending on your purpose or audience, you can start a slide show several
ways. One way is to save a presentation in such a way that whenever you open
it, it always starts as a slide show. Another way is to start a slide show from
within PowerPoint. Or, if you don't want to start from within PowerPoint, you can
create a shortcut on your desktop and start the slide show from there.
You can also set up a self-running presentation at a kiosk or booth, for
example that will run in an ever-repeating loop.
