  3. Getting Started in PowerPoint Creating a Presentation • Open up PowerPoint and got to Office Logo  New start a new presentation • The menu to the right appears and you will select a Blank presentation • Upon selecting Blank presentation, a default title slide appears allowing the you to add a Title and a Subtitle • You may create a Title Slide or alter the Slide Layout by selecting a new Layout • Text and Content Layouts – used when you want to utilize both text and a graphic to illustrate the message; graphics can include tables, charts, and pictures • To change the slide layout, follow these simple steps: SHORTCUT Alt + F + N The Slide Layout Pane appears allowing you to select any layout by clicking the drop down arrow and selecting Apply to Selected Slides Right-click on the slide in the Slide Pane on the left and select Layout The layout of the Slide changes to reflect your choice

  4. Key Functionalities Creating Master Slides • There are four masters for every presentation—a slide, title, handout, and notes master. When you change any of the attributes on the master, the change is reflected on all of the slides in your presentation that follow the master. • Slide Master: Controls the format and placement of the titles and text you type on slides. • Title Master: Controls the format and placement of the title slide and any other slide you designate as a title slide, such as a section page. You must be on a title slide in order to change its master. • Handouts Master: Controls the format and placement of the headers and footers when printing handouts (multiple slides per page) • Notes Pages Master: Controls the format and placement of text you type in the notes section • Typically, people will focus on developing the title and slide master at the beginning to ensure consistent look and feel when sharing the presentation with other group members • Developing a strong slide master initially is beneficial in many ways to both you and your team • Reduces iterations commonly needed to reformat a presentation • Consistently formatted deliverables focus the attention of the audience to content rather than changing formats • There are different master slides for each type of slide you can create

  5. Key Functionalities Creating Master Slides SHORTCUT Press Alt, W, M • To edit or create the Master Slides, Select View  Master  Slide Master • If you are creating a new presentation, there will only be one Slide Master when you select the Slide Master view (although alternative Master designs are presented below and indented from the current master in use) • You can add a Title Master slide by right clicking and selecting Insert Title Master • Master Slides allow you to edit any portion of the slide (i.e. font size, bullets, logos) with the changes being reflected in every slide throughout the presentation • Key functionalities of the Master Slides include: • Changing the font and position of the title in every slide or adding a logo to the top left corner (does not adjust size) • Adjusting the bullet hierarchy on every slide • Changing the colors throughout the presentation • Adding footers and page numbers to each page • Once you have finished editing the master slide, select the “Normal View” from the View menu • You can edit the Header and Footer on the master slide • To get the header and footer to appear on your slides you must click on Insert->Include On Slide->then select footer elements you want to appear on slides SHORTCUT Press Alt, W, L If your title slide has a page number 1 on it, go to the slide master and delete the page number and then go to the Design Ribbon Page Setup  Number Slides From  Enter 0 Hint Hint

  6. Getting Started in PowerPoint Customizing the Quick Access Toolbars • PowerPoint 2007 has eliminated the ability to customize toolbars, replacing it with the “Quick Access Toolbar” (QAT) • Commands can be added to the QAT to facilitate easy access to often-used functionality • To add commands to the QAT, right-click on the desired command and select Add to Quick Access Toolbar or click on the down arrow on the right side of the QAT and select commands to add • Benefit of QAT: Commands in QAT will always appear regardless of ribbon selected Home Toolbar Commonly Used Buttons – Font/Paragraph Create a numbered or bulleted list Change the Font Color Adjust the font size and type Make the font Bold, Italic, Underline, or Shadow Align Font Left, Center, and Right Commonly Used Buttons – Drawing Allows you to select shapes - you can only add the gallery as a whole to the toolbar (although most useful are the rectangles and elbow connectors, highlighted) Part of the Arrange -> Align sub-menu. With multiple objects selected, allows you to align left, center, right, top, middle, and bottom, and also permits you to evenly distribute objects either horizontally or vertically – EXTREMELY USEFUL Rotate allows you to rotate objects 90 degrees in either direction

  7. Getting Started in PowerPoint Customizing the Quick Access Toolbars Picture Toolbar – This is the “Format” ribbon (appears when picture is selected) Commonly Used Buttons Crop the picture to adjust the size Rotate the picture Left 90o – clicking the button multiple times will continue to rotate the object 90o Launches the Format Picture options box allowing the you to edit the color, size, and position of the picture (double-clicking on the picture launches the same menu) Table Layout – This is the “Layout” ribbon (Note: Toolbar only active when table is selected) Commonly Used Buttons Allows you to add or delete rows/columns Distribute rows or columns evenly within your table

  8. Getting Started in PowerPoint Customizing the Quick Access Toolbars Table Design (Note: Toolbar only active when table is selected) Commonly Used Buttons Allows you to modify the shading or borders on the tables Changes the color of the borders/lines in the table

  9. Getting Started in PowerPoint Key Functionality Storyboarding Identifying Formatting Issues Shortcuts

  10. Key Functionality Creating AutoShapes – “Insert” ribbon -> Shapes • AutoShapes are used frequently throughout a PowerPoint presentation either as an image to convey a message or to contain text for the end user to read • To draw an AutoShape, select one from the Shapes menu item in the “Insert” ribbon • The following are a few tips to keep in mind when creating AutoShapes: • When drawing objects shapes, hold <Shift> key to drag and create proportional shapes and straight lines. Also, you can select an object and press <Control + D> to create a duplicate • When placing text in a shape, select the shape and type directly. • Should you need to change the shape of an item, use the ‘Change the AutoShape’ function rather than redrawing it • To do this ensure the shape is selected, click on the “Format” ribbon, then click Edit Shape-> Change Shape • Borders can cause confusion. Check the borders if two identically sized objects appear to be different sizes. Also ensure that borders are the same color. • To do this ensure the shape is selected, click on the “Format” ribbon, then click Shape Outline to edit border features It’s easier to use the ‘add text’ function Words wrap in box.

  11. Key Functionality Creating Autoshapes • To create different shapes on your slides, you can use the “AutoShapes” button on the drawing toolbar • Once you have selected the shape you would like to draw, click and hold the mouse on the slide where you would like to draw the shape and make it as big or as small as you would like

  12. Key Functionality Creating Autoshapes • Shapes, like text boxes, can be formatted to change color, border, texture, size, etc. • To format a shape, right click on the shape and select “Format AutoShape” • Text boxes are one AutoShape that can be inserted

  13. Anchor Point Anchor Point Anchor Point Anchor Point Anchor Point Anchor Point Key Functionality Formatting Text Boxes • Adjust the text properties as necessary by right-clicking and selecting Format Shape -> Text Box Alternatively, all of these commands are also available in a toolbar menu at the top of the screen via the shortcut Alt, J, D (this will take you to the “Format” ribbon. • Fill text boxes with a ‘white’ fill when overlapping other objects. Be careful though; certain printers will reveal the ‘white’ fill box when printed only and will not be visible on your screen. SHORTCUT Press Alt, J, D Determines how text is positioned in the box Prevents the text box from changing size based on the amount of text in the box Determines the internal margins of the box Wraps the text in the box so it doesn’t spill out

  14. PowerPoint 2007 has changed the process for formatting text in text boxes slightly. You can either return to the “Home” ribbon to make these changes, or you can right click on the text to bring up a minimalist text formatting menu • To format the text, click on the text box and select the font, font size, and color from the “Home” ribbon • If you have a text box containing several different sizes of text and you want to make all of the text proportionally bigger or smaller, you can just click on the “Increase font size” or “Decrease font size” buttons on the “Home” ribbon Key Functionality Formatting Text Boxes Home Toolbar Right-Click Menu • Here • Is • An • Example • Here • Is • An • Example

  15. You can also make the text bold, italicized, or underlined with “Font” commands in the “Home” ribbon by highlighting the text and clicking the button Key Functionality Formatting Text Boxes SHORTCUTS: Bold – Ctrl+B Italics – Ctrl+I Underlined – Ctrl+U • To format the actual text box in which the text is contained, right click on the text box and select “Format AutoShape.” • You can now add borders, align text, fill in the text box with different colors, etc. • You can do this by selecting Line Color and Line Style Colors and lines can be adjusted like any other Autoshape

  16. Key Functionality Formatting Text Boxes • To create bullets, select the text box and click on “Bullets” in the “Home” ribbon (one of the “Paragraph” commands) • To format the bullets, click on the arrow next to the style you’ve selected and click “Bullets and Numbering” at the bottom of the pop-up menu - you can select they types of bullets you would like in your text box • In order to select additional bullet types, click the “Customize” button • The Symbol box will pop up allowing you to view additional symbols to serve as bullets, view the recently used symbols, or change the font type to select different symbols • To set the space between your bullet and the text, use the ruler in the top margin and adjust the markers • The top arrow adjusts the starting point of your text next to the bullet, while the bottom line controls where the text begins on subsequent lines – USE THIS RULER RATHER THAN THE SPACE BAR OR YOU MAY HAVE TROUBLE CONTROLLING THE APPEARANCE OF TEXT ON MULTI-LINE BULLET POINTS • If your ruler does not appear in your window, select View  Ruler SHORTCUT Press Alt, W, R

  17. SHORTCUT Alt, H, G, G SHORTCUT Alt, H, G, U SHORTCUT Alt, H, G, E Group Group Ungroup Regroup Align Left Center Right Top Middle Horizontal Bottom Vertical Key Functionality Grouping, Aligning and Distributing Objects • For each of these features, you must have multiple objects selected at the same time • There are two main ways to select multiple objects at the same time • Click on one object, then hold down Control and select the remaining objects • Using your mouse, draw a box around the objects to Group, Align, or Distribute (do not select the box object, simply draw a box around the objects using your mouse cursor) • Group • ‘Group’ items that you want kept together, should you move, align or distribute them • Home  Arrange  Group • Align • Align grouped items so they appear straight • Home  Arrange  Group SHORTCUT Press Alt, H, G, A, L SHORTCUT Press Alt, H, G, A, C SHORTCUT Press Alt, H, G, A, R SHORTCUT Press Alt, H, G, A, T SHORTCUT Press Alt, H, G, A, M SHORTCUT Press Alt, H, G, A, B SHORTCUT Press Alt, H, G, A, H SHORTCUT Press Alt, H, G, A, V These commands can be used frequently, so consider adding them to your Quick Access Toolbar If your title slide has a page number 1 on it, go to the slide master and delete the page number and then go to Office Logo  Page Setup  Number Slides From  Enter 0 Hint Hint

  18. Key Functionality Aligning Shapes Sometimes, you will need to align the shapes to clean up a slide and go from this… …to this in just a few easy steps.

  19. Key Functionality Aligning Shapes • Step 1: Select all of the shapes. • While holding down the “Ctrl” button, click on each shape so that they are all in one group. Step 2: Select Arrange from the Home Toolbar and click on “Align”

  20. Key Functionality Aligning Shapes Step 3: Select the appropriate alignment depending on how you would like the shapes to appear Align Middle (vertical): Align Center (horizontal): Align Left: If you would like the shapes to be evenly distributed across the page, select the “Align to Slide” option and then select the “Distribute Horizontally” option.

  21. Key Functionality Grid and Guides • Sometimes you will need guides on a slide so that you can position objects around the slide • Select View  Gridlines SHORTCUT Press Alt, W, G Guidelines • Another way to align items is to use Guidelines (these aren’t the same as the gridlines that can be selected from the “View” ribbon) – turn them on by pressing Alt+F9 SHORTCUT Press Alt+F9 • Guidelines can be created, removed, and moved at will • To create a guideline, hold CTRL, click and hold on an existing guideline, and drag the new line off before releasing CTRL • To move a guideline, click and drag it to the desired position • To remove a guideline, drag it off the screen • I almost always have Guidelines on but rarely use the Grid

  22. Key Functionality Grouping / Ungrouping • Sometimes it is easier to work with shapes, tables and text boxes by grouping them with other objects (this lets you move them as a single object, rather than individually) • To group objects, select all of the objects, right click on one of them and select Group  Group SHORTCUT Alt, H, G, G • To ungroup the objects, right click on the grouped objects and select Group  Ungroup SHORTCUT Alt, H, G, U

  23. Key Functionality Ordering and Repositioning Objects • Ordering Objects • Ordering objects allows you to move an object in front or behind another object or a group of objects • With an object selected, right-click and select Bring to Front • Rotating and Flipping Objects • Rotating objects can be done via the toolbar (“Format” ribbon”) or by right-clicking on the object, select Format Shape, select 3-D Rotation and edit the Z value • A user can also select an object and use the Free Rotate Handle ( ) in order to rotate or flip an object (drag in the direction of desired rotation) Object 1 Object 1 Object 2 Object 2 ROTATE ROTATE

  24. Key Functionality Tables • To create a table, click on “Table” in the “Insert” ribbon SHORTCUT Press Alt, N, T • Highlight the number of rows and columns you need for the table and click • The table that is generated is a generic table with the number of rows and columns you indicated • Prior to (or after) inputting text, the table or specific cells of the table can be edited • To adjust the table, you can Format it as a Shape or use the “Design” and “Layout” context-sensitive ribbons when the table is selected • For the Format option, the menu is very similar to that of other AutoShapes Fill tab allows you to select a fill color for the selected cells Borders are probably best adjusted via the “Design” ribbon

  25. Key Functionality Tables The Table “Layout” ribbon provides you with a very efficient way to perform many of the actions related to tables – and many can be accessed by right-clicking on the table • Insert Columns to the Left/Right • Inserts a column to the left or right of the column that is currently selected • Insert Rows Above/Below • Inserts a row above or below the selected row • Delete Columns/Rows • Deletes the column(s) / row(s) selected within the table • Merge Cells • Similar to the Excel Merge and Center, this action takes multiple cells and makes them one; must have multiple cells selected to use this command • Split Cell • Takes one cell and splits it into two different cells • Distribute Columns Evenly • With multiple columns selected, this command is an efficient way to make all of the columns the same width • Distribute Rows Evenly • With multiple rows selected, this command is an efficient way to make all of the rows the same height SHORTCUT Press Alt, J, L, L or I SHORTCUT Press Alt, J, L, V or E SHORTCUT Press Alt, J, L, D, C or R SHORTCUT Press Alt, J, L, M SHORTCUT Press Alt, J, L, P

  26. Key Functionality Tables • Tables: Deciding between PowerPoint and Excel • Many times you will find yourself building a table in PowerPoint that can easily be constructed in Excel and pasted into PowerPoint either as a MS Excel Worksheet Object or as an Picture (Enhanced Metafile) • Typically you will have a choice of whether to build a Table in PowerPoint or Excel

  27. Key Functionality Smart Art • Smart Art: • Smart Art is a new feature to create simple and effective diagrams, organization charts or flow charts with many more options than in past versions of PowerPoint. • Smart Art provides “ready made” professional looking graphics. • To use: Click on the “Insert” ribbon, then click on Smart Art. • Example:

  29. Storyboarding • Storyboarding is done prior to creating any presentation and is intended to map the storyline of the presentation and achieve the following benefits: • Establish team and client expectations about what will be produced and delivered • Organizes work and identifies data needs • Facilitates greater productivity and higher quality • Keeps the engagement focused • Storyboards are typically rough sketches of a slides contents including the key headline/takeaway and a few data points for support which allows end users to quickly skim the document and determine its purpose • The next few slides will introduce you to two methods to structure the storyboards This headline summarizes the main idea of the page graphic support Page 1 This headline summarizes the main idea of the page graphic support Page 2 This headline summarizes the main idea of the page graphic support Page 3

  30. Storyboarding Get your message across Elements of Introduction: • A statement about the subject with which you know the reader will agree Situation: • The complicating event that create the tension in the story Complication: Question: • The implicit question that results from the complication Message Vertical Logic Key Argument: Support: Horizontal Logic

  31. Storyboarding Vertical logic answers “how” and “why” Key “Vertical” Questions Structure Example We must redesign customer service to take advantage of $50 mm in savings Action How? Step Step Step Redirect volume Improve organizationalefficiency Establish operational standards We should purchase a new office building onMain Street Why? Conclusion Reason Reason Reason We need moreoffice space It is the least expensive option It is a moreconvenient location

  32. Storyboarding Horizontal logic is deductive or inductive Deduction Conclusion Two Logic Flows Deduction Inductive Inference Induction

  33. Getting Started in PowerPoint Key Functionality Storyboarding Identifying Formatting Issues Shortcuts

  34. Identifying Formatting Issues – Example 1 Can you identify issues with the slide below?

  35. Identifying Formatting Issues – Example 1 Solution Asterisk indicates a footnote, but no footnote appears Inconsistent font colors on the entire slide Title of slide overhanging the margin Inconsistent use of bullets Too much empty space in the text box Values on the graph very difficult to read Different font sizes for the graphs Graph extends over the edge of the slide Differing Gaps between the graphs

  36. Identifying Formatting Issues – Example 2 Can you identify issues with the slide below?

  37. Identifying Formatting Issues – Example 2 Slide heading is too far above the line Tagline too close to the line; poor spacing Graph title is non-descriptive Graph is missing key labels for the X and Y axis Extensive white space should be used for observations from the graphs Graphs are different sizes
