PowerPoint is a complete presentation graphics package. It gives you everything you need to produce a professional-looking presentation like text handling, outlining, drawing, graphics, clip art, and so on. It also offers rich speaker support and aids to help you create truly effective presentations. PowerPoint makes you, the presenter, and an independent producer of your own high-quality presentations. To help you about consistency in design and color use PowerPoint functions are really good, if try them. If you think you are not very good in designing at this stage, just apply one of the PowerPoint templates to your presentation and choose from among the thousands

of colour schemes available. Whether you need quick overheads for a team briefing, slides for a sales meeting, or dazzling effects for an on-screen presentation, PowerPoint wizards, templates, and Auto Layouts help you get right to work; and a complete set of easy-to-use tools assures you have everything you need to get your point across and share information with others. OBJECTIVES After going through this, unit, you will be able to Start, save and exit the PowerPoint application know the different PowerPoint views use the toolbar and menus to create a presentation create a presentation, use the blank slide option to create a slide of your choice create graphs as your slide add a new slide change the layout of a slide add a text by use the text tool. change the fonts, size and colour of text. add drawing objects in your slide by select the drawing shape from the drawing toolbar. work with objects, group or ungroup objects Work with animation tools Know how to use different printing options 1.1 INTRODUCTION TO POWERPOINT Microsoft PowerPoint is one of the largest presentation software in the word. It is because of its excellent features to quickly prepare OHP presentations or slide shows. It has nice graphical supports, which are supplementary with speaker notes and its interoperability with other office software like word and excel. 1.1.1 Start PowerPoint You can start PowerPoint in the same way as you do other MS-Office applications. There are many different ways of starting PowerPoint 1. To open the Microsoft PowerPoint application you can (a) Double click on the Microsoft PowerPoint icon (as given below) on the desktop.

(b) Open Microsoft PowerPoint from the Start menu (Start All Program Microsoft Office Microsoft PowerPoint as shown in the figure 1 or directly Microsoft PowerPoint). Figure 1: Open Microsoft PowerPoint When Word opens, a blank document with name Document1 will appear similar to Figure 2. You will be prompted with four choices. Each of these options are explained in next section.

1.1.2 Ways of Creating Presentation You can create a new presentation in several ways. You can start by working with the AutoContent wizard, in which you begin with a presentation that contains suggested content and design. You can also start with an existing presentation and change it to suit your needs. Another way to start a presentation is by selecting a design template that determines the presentation's design but doesn't include content. You can also begin with an outline you import from another application or with a blank presentation that has neither suggested content nor design. If Power Point is already open or this box does not appear, select File New from the Menu bar. 1. AutoContent Wizard It is similar to the MS-Word Auto Wizard to create a Resume if you did that exercise this will be really very simple for you. The AutoContent Wizard provides templates and ideas for a variety of presentation types. Page through the wizard by clicking the Next button on the bottom of each page after making necessary choices. 2. Design Template Power Point provides many templates with different backgrounds and text formatting to begin your presentation. Preview each design by highlighting the template name on the list. Press OK after you have chosen the design. 3. Blank Presentation Select Blank Presentation to build the presentation from scratch with no preset graphics or formatting. 4. Auto Presentation Layout After selecting the presentation type, you will be prompted to choose the layout of the new slide. These layouts include bulleted lists, graphs, and/or images. Click on each thumbnail image and a description will be printed in the message box. Highlight the layout you want and click OK.

1.1.3 Saving and Closing Presentation To save a presentation on disk, click the Save button on the Standard toolbar. When you save a document for the first time, Word displays the Save As dialog box so that you can type a name for the document. Make a habit of saving your presentation after each slide, as PowerPoint may stop abruptly due to hardware or software problem. 1.1.1 How to save a document? 1. Select File Save from the menu bar. 2. Select File Save As from the menu bar. You must be interested to know that what is a difference between Save and Save As option? The main difference is that the Save option will simply overwrite your existing file, whereas Save As will give you the chance to choose any of the options/format given in its dialog box. 2. Click the Save button on the standard toolbar. 3. Press CTRL+S on the keyboard. It is good practice to choose a filename with eight characters or less, as additional letters may not be visible. 1.1.2 How to close a Presentation? When you finished working in PowerPoint close the active presentation and then quit PowerPoint by choosing Exit (Windows) from the file menu. To work on another Presentation in PowerPoint, close the active presentation by choosing Close from the file menu and then open the other presentation. Also, several presentations can be open at the same time. To work in a particular presentation, click anywhere in its presentation to make it active, or select the presentation name from the window menu. To close the current presentation by you can either select File Close or click the Close icon you can locate it on your standard toolbar. If you are prompted with a dialogue box asking, Do you want to save the changes you made to presentation1.ppt? It means you have not saved the file. Think always before Clicking on No. You can save your document in different format like Web Page, Text format, Rich Text format, Document templates using Save As option. Check Your Progress 1 Question 1: Create a Presentation using AutoContent Wizard. Where, you should select type of presentation as Motivating A Team and output to be use is On screen presentation. Question 2: Find out the difference between Save and Save As option? Question 3: How a new presentation can be created if already you are working with some other Presentation?

1.2 WORKING WITH POWERPOINT Standard Toolbar 1.2.1 PowerPoint Components From the PowerPoint window, you can create presentations and use its toolbars and menus. Window Control Buttons Formatting Toolbar Scroll Bar View Buttons Double Arrow Scroll Button Drawing Toolbar Status Bar Title Bar located at the top of the screen, displays the name of the presentation. Menu Bar located below the title bar, lists the options. The Status Bar Messages appear at the bottom of the window in an area called the status bar. These messages describe what you are seeing and doing in the PowerPoint windows as you work. Normally, the status bar tells you which slide you're working on (Slide 1, Slide 2, and so on). When you choose a command, the status bar provides a short message telling you what that command will do. Three shortcut buttons appear on the right side of the status bar - New Slide, Layout, and Template. Clicking the New Slide button presents the New Slide dialog box and adds a slide to your presentation immediately following the current slide. Clicking the Layout button lets you change the layout of the current slide. Finally, clicking the Template button allows you to apply or change the template for your presentation.

The Toolbars You can use toolbars for quick access to commonly used commands and tools. When you first start PowerPoint and open a presentation, the Standard and Formatting toolbars are displayed just below the menu bar, and the Drawing toolbar is displayed vertically on the left side of the window. Different toolbars appear automatically in each view. The Scroll Bar There's a vertical scroll bar on the right side of the PowerPoint window. The scroll bar has an elevator as well as double arrow buttons you can use to move from slide to slide. To move slide by slide using the double arrow buttons, You can quickly move one slide up or one slide down using the Previous Slide and Next Slide buttons icons below the vertical scroll bar. To go to the next slide, click the double down arrows and similarly for previous slide click the double up arrows. Table: Some Basic Key Shortcuts.

The two main views you use in PowerPoint are normal view and slide sorter view. To easily switch between views, you click the buttons at the lower left of the PowerPoint window. A PowerPoint presentation is a collection of your slides, handouts, speaker's notes, and your outline, all in one file. PowerPoint gives you the flexibility of switching between different views during the creation of slides for a presentation. Slides are the individual "pages" of your presentation. Soon, you'll be creating slides with PowerPoint. Slides can have titles, text, graphs, drawn objects, shapes, clip art, drawn art, and visual created with other applications and more. Handouts support your presentation. You have the option of providing handouts for your audience. Handouts consist of smaller, printed versions of your slides. Speaker's Notes can be created and printed. You'll see a small image of the slide on each notes page, along with any notes you type on the notes pages. Outlines As you're working on a presentation, you have the option of working with your presentation in outline form. In the outline, your titles and main text appear, but not your art or the text typed with the Text tool.
