How to Do PowerPoint by Mrs. Kantar Bow Memorial School
How to start • Go to the Start Menu and choose Programs. Highlight Microsoft PowerPoint & click twice to open it. • When the next screen opens, pick the second choice that says “Pick a Look Wizard”
Step 1 of 9 • This is just an “intro” window....so • just press “Next”
Step 2 of 9 • This says “On-Screen Presentation” • Just click on “Next”
Step 3 of 9 • Says “Which template...” etc • Click on “More”. • This will show a list of templates (backgrounds) you can choose • If the list does not come up, see next slide
finding “template” list: 6 steps! How to locate the list of background styles • Go to Desktop • Click twice on Mac HD • Click twice on Microsoft Office • Click twice on Microsoft PowerPoint • Click twice on Templates • Click twice on “On screen & 35 mm Slides” • FINALLY....You see the list!!!! Bow Memorial School: re-do for PC’s
Step 4 of 9 • If you ignore everything on this screen, and just click on “Finish”, • ......you can skip right to the end! • Now your first slide, the title slide, appears; so click on the top box and start typing! • Good Luck! • P.S. See next slide for special effects
HOW TO INSERT PICTURES • Go to INSERT, choose “object” .....(or click on the”redheaded man” icon to get “clip art” from Microsoft’s ClipArt Gallery • OR, go to INSERT, choose “picture” (to use those from another disk, CD, or Print Shop)
TRANSITIONS • To make special effects when you go from slide to slide, or topic to topic • Click on 3rd icon at bottom left of screen (the “slide sorter view”) • Click on your 1st slide. Go to left box above where it says “No transition.” Click and drag to choose an EFFECT. • Go to right box above and do the same. • Continue to do this for all your slides
Watching the finished product • Go back to your 1st slide (2 ways) • click on Slide Sorter View at bottom and click on Slide 1 • OR click on the black double UP arrows at the right hand corner of this big slide. It will take you back, one slide at a time to the beginning. (the black double DOWN arrows will go the other way) • Click on the 5th icon at bottom left, called “Slide Show”, of course! • Isn’t your show great?
HOW TO PRINT • When the Print Window comes up, click on the rectangle that says “Slides” and change it to “Handouts(6 slides per page)..........or “Outline view” (has no pic’s)
Also click on “Black & White”! Very important - or else the printer will try to color the slides and use up all the printer ink!
OTHER HINTS • 1. When in Slide Show View (small slides) double-click on any slide to see it large • 2. Press ESC to stop the “running” slide show at any time
