1. Choose the template theme
When you open Power Point, click Design to choose the ideal template for your presentation.
The theme options will appear in the toolbar and you can click on each one to see how your
content fits into the template.
In the top right corner, you can customize other details of the template such as colors, fonts,
styles, and sizes. Simply click on Variants and Customize to explore the existing options.
2. Insert new slides
To create new slides in your PowerPoint presentation, click the Insert > New Slide tab in the
upper left corner.
Selecting this field will display various types of slides: Title Slide, Title and Content, Section
Header, among others. You must click on the one that shows the structure you want for each
specific slide.
3. Add texts
To insert text into your slide, go to the Home tab, click Insert, and then click Text Box. Using
the right mouse button, select the space on the slide where you want to insert the content
4. Format the texts
In the toolbar, you will find several ways to customize your text.
You can change the font and size of the text; highlight words by placing them in bold, italics or
underlined; change the color of the text; change the paragraph settings; among other formats.
5. Use images
Adding visuals to your PowerPoint presentation not only helps convey the desired information,
but makes the presentation more creative and dynamic.
In this sense, you can use infographics, tables and figures. The content will be much more
educational for the person viewing it and will enhance the understanding of your message.
To add images, click on the Insert option. Next, select the Images option and choose what you
want to add. Depending on your computer model, you can also drag an image directly from
the folder onto the slide. To do this, simply select it with the right mouse button in the original
location and drop it on the desired slide.
6. Use the notes
At the bottom of the screen is a notes panel where you can record information you want to
cover at that point in your PowerPoint presentation.
This feature allows the speaker to have a note reminding them of everything they need to say
while the slide is being shown to the audience, even with blank text on the slide.
The note box appears on the computer screen, but is not transmitted to the projector.
Therefore, only you will have access to that information.
This resource makes things easier for those who are afraid of forgetting important information
and do not want to bring printed notes to the presentation. Recording notes in that space can
be a good option!
7-Slide transition options
In PowerPoint, you can add animation effects between slide transitions. To do this, you must
select the slide you want by clicking on it. The chosen effect will be added to the transition of
the previous slide you selected earlier. That is, if you selected the third slide, the animation will
occur when you move from the second to the third slide in the presentation. After selecting
the slide, click on the Transitions tab. Several details will appear in the toolbox to define. You
need to select the desired effect and then click Effect Options.
8. Explore sound effects
In PowerPoint, you can also add audio to slides to complement your presentation. Click the
Insert tab, select the Media and Audio file option to access the file picker. Select the audio you
want to add.
9. Save your presentations in Power Point
