To demonstration and practice of slide making using power point
Introduction:
Microsoft PowerPoint (or simply PowerPoint) is a presentation program, created by Robert
Gaskins and Dennis Austin at a software company named Forethought, Inc. It was released
on April 20, 1987, initially for Macintosh computers only. Microsoft acquired PowerPoint for
$14 million three months after it appeared. This was Microsoft's first significant acquisition,
and Microsoft set up a new business unit for PowerPoint in Silicon Valley where Forethought
had been located. Microsoft PowerPoint is one of many programs run by the company
Microsoft and can be identified by its trademark orange, and P initial on the logo. It offers
users many ways to display information from simple presentations to complex multimedia
presentations. (Demonstration

Objectives:

Understanding of the software, ability to create presentations on Microsoft PowerPoint


Theory:
Microsoft PowerPoint is an electronic presentation program that helps people present a
speech using a collection of slides. A PowerPoint presentation is a collection of slides that can
be used to create oral presentations. PowerPoint is a complete presentation Graphics package.
It gives everything that we need to produce a professional-looking presentation. PowerPoint
offers word processing software, outlining, drawing, graphing, and presentation management
tools- all designed to be easy to use and learn. Making your presentation more interesting
through the use of multimedia can help to improve the audience's focus. PowerPoint allows
you to use images, audio and video to have a greater visual impact. These visual and audio
cues may also help a presenter be more improvisational and interactive with the audience.

Equipment / Apparatus:
 PC

 Windows Software

 Microsoft PowerPoint

Procedure

Task: We will understand how to add new slides in an existing presentation. Here are the
steps that allow you to insert a new slide in the deck:
Step 1: Right-click in the Navigation Pane under any existing slide and click on the New
Slide option.

Step 2: The new slide is inserted. You can now change the layout of this slide to suit your
design requirements.
Step 3: To change the slide layout, right-click on the newly inserted slide and go to the
Layout option where you can choose from the existing layout styles available to you.

You can follow the same steps to insert a new slide in between existing slides or at the end on
the slide list. When we insert a new slide, it inherits the layout of its previous slide with one
exception. If you are inserting a new slide after the first slide (Title slide), the subsequent
slide will have the Title and Content lay out. You will also notice that if you right-click in the
first step without selecting any slide the menu options you get are different, although you can
insert a new slide from this menu too.

Title Box
This is typically found on slides with the title layout and in all the slides that have a title box in them.
This box is indicated by "Click to add title".
Figure 10-1: Title Contents

Subtitle Box
This is found only in slides with the Title layout. This is indicated by "Click to add
subtitle".

Content Box
This is found in most of the slides that have a placeholder for adding content. This is
indicated by "Click to add text". As you can see, this box allows you to add text as well as
non-text content. To add text to such a box, click anywhere on the box, except on one of the
content icons in the center and start typing.

Text Only Box


This is not a default content box available in PowerPoint, but you can create it using Slide
Master, if required. This is also indicated by "Click to add text". The only difference
between the Text Only Box and the Content Box is that the former only supports text in the
content area.
Figure 10-3: Text Box

Most of the standard layouts come with the text box option. As mentioned in the previous
chapter, text boxes will have "Click to add text" as the default text. Here are the steps to add
new text boxes in slide.
Step 1: Click on the Text Box icon in the Home ribbon under the Drawing section.
Step 2: You will get the insert text box cursor that looks like an inverted cross.
Step 3: Click to insert a text box. You can now start typing directly into the text box.

The size of the text box can be adjusted by selecting one of the edges marked by squares or
corners marked by circles.
