Introduction To MS Power Point

Presented by

Introduction
Microsoft PowerPoint is a professional presentation program that allows the
user to create "presentation slides" that can be displayed on the computer screen or
through a projector that is plugged into the computer. A PowerPoint presentation is a
good way to convey pieces of information, usually in the form of an outline, to a large
audience. Generally, PowerPoint presentations are appealing to users because they are
easy to create and edit and generally small enough to fit onto a CD or a USB Jump
Drive. Therefore, a user does not have to carry around any slides or slide projector,
and, if necessary, can make any last-minute changes to the presentation
Ms power point components
• Before you get started with Microsoft PowerPoint (commonly referred to as simply
PowerPoint), you will need to locate and open it from the computer. It may be on
your desktop. From the computer desktop:
• 1. Double-click on the MS PowerPoint icon If the MS PowerPoint icon is not on
the desktop, go to the Start menu: 1. Click Start ►Programs ►Microsoft
PowerPoint* *Occasionally, Microsoft PowerPoint will be in a folder called
“Microsoft Office” or similar – this will make one more step between “Programs”
and “Microsoft PowerPoint.”
MS PowerPoint will open a blank page
called “Presentation1.” This is an
image of the upper-left corner of MS
Word. This box features two important
bits of information: which file you are
currently working on (in this case,
“Presentation1” since we have not yet
renamed it) and which program you are
using (in this case, “Microsoft
PowerPoint.”)
The Menu Bar
• The Menu Bar is a common site in almost all Microsoft Windows programs. It
features text-based menus, on which are listed virtually every option available to
the user in the entire program. Each menu expands when clicked (with the left
mouse button), offering many options categorized by specific tasks.
• You can click on each of the words to see a menu of the tasks you can perform. To
see a menu:
• Point with your mouse to a menu option
• Click the left mouse button once to open a drop-down menu
• Point with your mouse to a particular item
• Click once with the left mouse button to select the item
The Standard toolbar
• Toolbars provide “shortcuts” to commands also found in the Menu Bar. Toolbars
are usually located just below the Menu Bar, and exist to offer another way to
perform the same task. As with all Microsoft Windows programs, there are usually
three ways in which to perform every task in order to suit the user’s preferences.
Remember, if you can’t remember what an icon stands for, hover your mouse over
it and a box will pop up with the explanation!
The Formatting toolbar
• The Formatting Toolbar offers options that can change the font, size, color, alignment,
organization, and style of the text in the presentation slides. For example, (starting from the
left side of the Toolbar) the “Arial” indicates the FONT of your text; the “32” indicates the
SIZE of your text; and so on. This toolbar works the exact same way as the MS Word
Formatting Toolbar. The main difference is that the format changes will only affect the text
box in which you are currently working. All other text boxes will remain in the default
setting ("Arial" font, size "32").

The Drawing toolbar


There may also be a Drawing Toolbar on your screen. (If not, you can go to View
►Toolbars and click on “Drawing” to make it appear). Many of the things we are
going to do today through the menus have shortcuts on this toolbar. Remember, if you
can’t recall what an icon stands for, hover your mouse over it and a box will pop up
with the explanation!
Design and new slide icon
• Two additional shortcut icons appear on the MS PowerPoint toolbar: the Design
icon and the New Slide icon. Both commands are frequently used, and it is good to
be familiar with their location on the toolbar.
• The Design icon is a shortcut to the slide design page. Here you will be able to
create and edit the appearance of your slide(s). The New Slide icon automatically
adds a new, blank slide for you to work on. You can keep track of the slides you
have already worked on in the Slide Outline box on the left-hand side of the screen.
You can access a slide at any time by clicking on it with your mouse through this
screen.
Text boxes
• Text Boxes are "designated" areas that allow you to type words, sentences, and
bullet points into the slide. You can adjust the size and placement of the text box
within any given slide. It is also possible to have multiple text boxes per slide.
• When you first open MS PowerPoint there will automatically be two text boxes on
the slide; "Click to add title" and "Click to add subtitle." These text boxes already
have a preset format applied to them. The "title" box has a font size of "44" while
the "subtitle" box has a font size of "32." You can change the text format of any box
at anytime by adjusting the format settings on the Formatting Toolbar.
• To adjust the size of the text box, first click on the text box. Notice the change in
border. Once you have clicked on a text box, the border of the box becomes thicker
and little circles appear on the corners and at the midpoints of the box.
Pictures
• Inserting a picture into MS PowerPoint is very similar to inserting a picture into
MS Word. 1. Select the slide that you wish to add the picture to. 2. From the Menu
Bar, select Insert ► Picture ► From File (or Clip Art). 3. Choose the picture you
wish to insert and select "Insert.“
• Rotating a picture: It is possible to rotate pictures in MS PowerPoint. Once a
picture has been inserted onto a slide and you have clicked on the picture so that it
is "outlined," notice the green circle above the center of the picture. Move the
mouse pointer over the green circle, and left-click and hold the button down. Now
move the mouse either clockwise or counter-clockwise and the picture will rotate in
the same direction. When it is in the position you want, release the mouse button.
Slide management
• Once you have completed a slide, you can create a new slide by clicking on the
New Slide icon. Notice that your previous slides still appear on the left-side frame.
You can still access your previous slides by simply clicking on them from this
location.
• Once all your slides have been completed, you can present your slides in a
"slideshow." From the Menu Bar select Slide Show ► View Show.
• Notice that the slide takes over your entire screen. To navigate through the slides
use the arrow keys on your keyboard (←, → or ↑, ↓). You can also navigate
through your slides clicking on the left or right arrows in the lower left corner of
your slide.
Slide shows
• When you come to a stopping point and want to leave the computer or close the
program, it is important to save your work (even if you are printing a hard copy —
saving should be a reflex). Click ►File ►Save from the Menu Bar to get started.
You can change the filename that PowerPoint has chosen just by typing a new one
in the File name box at the bottom of the window that appears
