11 Exercise 18 - Saving a Presentation A presentation must be saved if it is to be used again. There are two main ways to save a presentation: Save As and Save. Save As allows file name, file type and location to be specified and is therefore always used to save a newly created presentation, i.e. a presentation that has not been named. When a presentation has already been saved, i.e. been given a name, Save can be used to save/update the current changes in that presentation. If an existing presentation is to be used as the basis for a new one, but the original must not be overwritten, then it must be saved with a new name after the changes are made. If Save is used to save a new presentation, Save As mode will be used automatically. 1. Select File Save As. The Save As dialog box will then appear. The contents of the dialog box will vary between computers, but the diagram below shows an example of how it may look. Places Bar Note: Three items of information are required to control the Save As process. A name, a location and a type for the saved file. 2. The presentation must be given a name. Enter My Product in the File name box (the highlighted text will automatically be deleted). Note: A filename can be of any length. Choose a meaningful name but do not use any of the following characters: ><"*?:\ /;. 36 CIA Training Ltd 2004

By default, My Documents is selected, if it is not shown in Save in, click on it. 4. The folder containing the data files should be shown - PowerPoint 2003 Introductory Data. Double click on this folder. Note: If presentations are to be saved elsewhere, select the required location from the Save in drop down list. Presentations can be saved to a location on the hard disk, or to a floppy disk. 5. Click the drop down arrow at the right of the Save as type box to see the different formats available, including: text format Outline/RTF (*.rtf), Design Template (*.pot), graphics formats including JPEG File Interchange Format (*.jpg) and Web Page (*htm; *.html). 6. Choose the default type of Presentation (*.ppt). 7. Click the Save button,, at the bottom right of the dialog box. Note: A previously named presentation can be saved to the same location under the same name by clicking the Save button,, on the Standard Toolbar. 8. Notice how the name on the Title Bar has changed to show the new name. 9. Leave the presentation open for the next exercise. CIA Training Ltd

13 Exercise 19 - Closing a Presentation To clear the screen and begin working on a new presentation, the current one can be closed. If the presentation has not been previously saved, or if it has been modified in any way since the last save, a prompt to save it will appear. 1.
