Grab this file to get started |
|
Look on the View menu and get into normal mode
for editing |
|
This gets you a selected slide surrounded with a
tool bar. |
|
Move up and down the slide set with a scroll
mechanism (wheel, slider, etc) |
|
|
|
|
Go to Insert menu and insert a new slide form.
When asked pick the format that suits. |
|
Click into the Title Block and start type away
for the title |
|
Now click into the work area below. Start creating presentation material |
|
|
|
|
If creating text, just type away applying tools
from the menu bar as required |
|
For images, or other constructs, use the Insert
menu. |
|
To create a new textbox, select the B&W icon
from the bottom that looks like a newspaper, being with a large A in upper
left. |
|
|
|
|
The View menu gives you useful choices. The normal mode is good for editing and
creating. |
|
Slide
Sorter is really handy for assembling, moving around with drag and drop,
deleting, coping, etc. |
|
|
|
|
Slide
Show is the proper mode for presentations. |
|
Master lets
you modify the overall template and apply to all. It is a more advanced feature. It is fine to stick with the given format. |
|
|
|
|
Use the Draw and AutoShapes features in lower
left to annotate and image. |
|
Colors, formats, tables, etc, are reasonably
obvious. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Associated with any slide, one can create a Notes
Page, again arrived at via View menu.
This material is not displayed in seen in Slide Show mode during
presentations. It can be printed
out for presenter. Use this feature in assignment for elucidating your
material. |
|
|
|
|
This should get you started. Save often using the save icon and/or
the save icon. |
|
Good luck.
Ask someone experienced rather than losing a lot of time. Help menu can be useful. |

|
PowerPoint is rich with features that all take
time to learn and apply. |
|
Go lite on the specials. Use sparingly and
tastefully. |
