PowerPoint 1 The Basics 1. Save this file to your Apps Folder as YourLastName_PP1 2. Read each slide. 3. Complete each set of numbered directions.
The Master Slide • The “Master Slide” is used to format all the slides of your presentation at once. • You can change a lot in the “Master Slide” view, but for now we are just going to change one thing. “Memorize” the next three steps before trying them. • To get to the Master Slide, click on “View” then “Slide Master”. • Change the words “Click to edit Master title style” to a blue color. • Click on “Close Master View”. • Now, every slide in this presentation should have a blue title. If they don’t, go back and try these directions again.
Inserting New Slides • We’ll actually add new slides to this presentation in a minute, for now just read this slide and the next 2. • To make a brand new slide • Click on the Home tab and then “New Slide” • If you click the words “New Slide”, you’ll be able to choose the layout of your new slide. • You can also use the keyboard shortcut “Control M”.
Inserting Duplicate Slides • Oftentimes, you’ll want to make a similar slide. Click the same “New Slide” button, but choose “Duplicate Selected Slides”.
Inserting a New Slide • Insert three new slides. Use these layouts: • Title Slide • Two Content • Content with Caption • Type one word in each box of the new slides. For now, it doesn’t matter what you put in there. Just practice and put something in there. • Continue on to the next slide (it will become slide #9 after you add in your slides) when you are done.
Backgrounds (start here after finishing slide 5) • You can change the background of your slides using a couple of options. • Themes work just like in Word (change fonts, colors, and effects) • Start by clicking on the Design tab • Change the Theme to “Metro”. Hint: They are in alphabetical order, and you can see their names if you hover your mouse over the previews.
Backgrounds • You can also add gradients, texture, patterns, and pictures just like in Word, Excel and Publisher. • On the Design tab, click “Background Styles” in the “Background” group. • Choose “Format Background”. • Choose “Picture or texture fill”. • Click on the “File…” button and navigate to ComputerBuildingShareKMAdamsSample Images. • Insert the image named “under armour” and click “Close” (do NOT click Apply to All).
Moving Slides • You can move slides around easily in PowerPoint. On the left, just click and hold on a slide and drag it into a new position. • Move slide #1 so that it’s after this slide.
Moving Slides • If you want to move more slides around, you’ll want to use the “Slide Sorter”. • Click the View tab then “Slide Sorter”. • Move this slide so that it’s the new 2nd slide. • Go back to the View tab and click on “Normal”. • Click on the slide titled “Slide Show” (should be slide #13).
Slide Show • To view your slide show full screen, press F5 or click the Slide Show tab. Notice you have the option to start from the beginning or from the current slide. • Pressing F5 starts from the beginning. If you press Shift-F5, you’ll start from the slide you’re viewing. • When you are in “Slide Show” mode there are some fun things if you click the partially “hidden” icons in the bottom left of your screen. • Also, you can right click to open a menu and get some other options. • Press Shift-F5. • Draw a circle around the words “Slide Show” at the top with the “Pen”. • Press the ESC key on your keyboard to exit the Slide Show. The circle should still be there when you exit.
Printing Options • PowerPoint is mostly for presentations, but you can also print it. • You will need to print this assignment for a grade...I’ll show you what I want shortly. • Before we print, insert a new slide and move it to the very beginning (slide #1). On this slide, include your name and period as big as it can be (it must still fit on the slide). Seriously. I mean BIG.
Printing Options • Now click the File tab then “Print”. • Zoom in on this slide to read it. • Click the box that says “Full Page Slides”. • Choose “9 Slides Horizontal”. • Change “Print One Sided” to “Print on Both Sides” (long edge). • Change “Collated” to “Uncollated”. • Check with me to make sure you did this correctly. • Grab your copy off the printer and put it in the basket. • When you are finished, open up a blank PowerPoint and use all of the skills (except printing) we just learned. Use the Sample Images in the Share drive to add to your presentation.
