Introduction

PowerPoint is great software that lets you handle all your presentations
in an easy manner. It is ideal to display charts and graphs and can even be
used to build dashboard software. However, if you explore this amazing
software, you will find that it is not everything. In this article, we would show
you a PowerPoint Report Builder add-on that will add all new functionality to
PowerPoint.

Today, almost all the reports you come across when handling work will
be mostly data driven. So, it is important to have a good platform to design
your reports attractively. The PowerPoint together with DataPoint can be used
to make and produce amazing looking reports. This is a very efficient way of
producing amazing looking reports which are actually very easy to do.

One of the problems with PowerPoint is the difficulty of making your

slides available to others. The files tend to be very large and many people are
suspicious of binary email attachments. Another problem is that the format is
proprietary to Microsoft so that you are dependent on one company for the
software needed to produce and view the slides. This paper describes an
alternative that is based upon HTML and which, unlike PowerPoint, works
across platforms, and on most recent Web browsers such as Internet Explorer,
Firefox, Opera and Safari. To share your presentation with others, you just
need to give them the URI, either in email or as a link on your website.

PowerPoint Basics

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.

Figure 1: Standard first slide of a PowerPoint presentation

Starting PowerPoint
There are several ways to start PowerPoint on your computer.

• You can click the PowerPoint icon on your desktop.

• If you have installed Microsoft Office on a machine using Microsoft
Windows 98 or higher, you may click on the Start button on the Windows
menu at the bottom of the desktop. Select “New Office Document” and
then select “Blank Presentation.” The PowerPoint application will begin
in Outline View and the “New Slide” dialog box will appear

Creating the Title Slide

4
• Press OK on the “New Slide” dialog box (figure 2) and the title slide will
appear. (If the “New Slide” dialog box does not appear, select Insert on the
toolbar and then select “New Slide” and follow the above step).

Figure 2: Creating the Title Slide

• Click on the “Click to add title” text and type in the title of your
presentation (figure 3).

Figure 3: Adding a title

Click on the “Click to add subtitle” text and type in your name and affiliations.

Adding More Slides

5
To add more slides (either text or image), repeat the preceding steps.

• The Slide Sorter View

To move and shuffle existing slides within and between presentations,

select “View” on the toolbar and then select “Slide Sorter.” In this mode,
you will see all of the slides in a presentation (Figure 4), and you can drag
and drop any of these slides anywhere within this, or another, presentation.

Figure 4: Slide Sorter View

• To return to the “Normal” view, select “View” on the toolbar and then
select “Normal.”

Showing a Presentation
• To show a presentation, select “View” from the toolbar and then select
“Slide Show” (Figure 5).

 Figure 5: Showing a Presentation

To move through the presentation, press the right arrow key to move forward
and press the left arrow key to move backward. Exit the “Slide Show” mode
at any time by pressing the “Esc” key.

Saving a Presentation

•. To save your work the first time, select “File” on the toolbar and then
select “Save As.” When the dialog box appears, select a file name and the
location on your computer in which to save the presentation as a file.
•. To save your work at any time thereafter, simply select “File” from the
toolbar and then select “Save” in the pull-down menu.
•. When your work is complete, use the “Save As” option to save the
presentation to exportable media. Selecting a removable media drive on
your computer (eg, floppy disk, Zip drive, CD-R) will allow you to
transfer your presentation file to a different computer.

Navigating PowerPoint to create a slide presentation

7
PowerPoint uses slides to build a presentation. To create an engaging
presentation, PowerPoint allows you to add text, bulleted lists, images, charts,
and video to your slides. You can add as many slides as you want to a
presentation, and at any time you can view or play back your presentation by
selecting one of the slide show play options

Click the buttons in the interactive below to learn how to navigate and interact with
slides in the PowerPoint window.

The Ribbon

The Ribbon contains multiple tabs, each with several groups of commands.
Some tabs, like Drawing Tools or Table Tools, may appear only when you are
working with certain items like images or tables. In addition, you can add your
own customized tabs that contain your favorite commands.

Appearance of Microsoft PowerPoint

After opening Microsoft PowerPoint, you will be taken to a blank presentation

and see the following screen

9
The default view in Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 is Normal, displaying the
presentation in a view that allows you to see a preview of all slides available
along the left, the slide work area (main portion of screen), and the notes area
associated with a slide along the bottom. The view can be changed by selecting
the View tab on the ribbon and selecting one of the other Layout options from
the Presentation Views logical group. For additional information about the
various views, see the section on the Presentation Views below.

You can also change the Presentation View by clicking the view icons along the
bottom of the PowerPoint.

To change the zoom of the presentation, click the – or + icons or drag the slider
along the bottom of PowerPoint

Understanding the Relationship of the Outline to Slides

Different slide layouts contain different placeholders, such as title,

subtitle, text, and content placeholders. You can enter text in the
placeholders on a slide or in the Outline tab of the Slides/Outline pane.
When you enter text into title, subtitle, or text placeholders in the Slide
pane, the text also appears in the outline. When you enter a top-level
heading in the outline, PowerPoint creates a new slide, and that heading
appears in the slide title placeholder. Any text that you enter at an
indented level in the Outline pane becomes a bullet point in a text
placeholder on the slide.

Graphics do not appear in the outline. Text that you enter in text boxes
(which are drawing objects that are different from text placeholders) also
doesn’t appear in the outline.
