CREATING PRESENTATIONS USING
MS-POWER POINT
OBJECT
To become familiar with the MS-Power Point environment.
THEORY
Whenever a user communicates with a group of people, he/she gives a presentation. The
more important the message, the clearer the presentation should be. Also for larger
audience, the message must be easy to grasp. A user can communicate information better
and more easily with a PowerPoint presentation.
Views of PowerPoint
PowerPoint has five views, each of which gives a different way of looking at the slides. A
user can open one of the following view by clicking its corresponding button, located at
the bottom of the main window.
Slide View
Use this view when incorporating text and graphic elements, creating “progressive
disclosure” builds (called animations), and modifying the appearance of a slide.
Outline View
Work with slide titles and main text in this view. It’s best for organizing and developing
presentation content.
Slide Show
In this view, each slide fills the screen, and you can see the effects of transitions,
animations and timings.
Entering Text
The easiest and fastest way to enter and edit the text in the presentation is to use outline
view. In outline view, a user can see and edit the presentation in one window, rather than
one slide at a time.
To manipulate outline items, a user can use the Outlining toolbar, which appears
automatically in outline view.
Each line of text that is typed in a outline automatically becomes either a slide title or
bulleted item on a slide.
To create a new bulleted item, click at the end of an existing bulleted item line and
press Enter.
To create a new slide, first create a new bulleted item, and then click the Promote
button until the bullet becomes a slide icon.
Adding Graphics
A user can add clip art, sounds, pictures and movies using Insert Picture Clip Art
option.
Expanding Slide
If a slide has its own bullets and becomes too much complicated, or a user is running out
of room, the task can be simplified by clicking Tools Expand Slide to create a new set
of slides from the current slide. Each bulleted item on the expanded slide becomes a new
slide.
