2. Making a presentation in Powerpoint There are numerous ways of producing a presentation in Powerpoint. You can: • design each slide individually • convert a Word outline document to a slide show • use “Auto-content wizard” to structure the content • use “Format..Apply Design” to create the layout • copy someone else’s design • use a master slide

3. Powerpoint offers 5 views Powerpoint offers 5 ways of looking at a presentation, they are (from the left): • Individual slide view (editable) • Outline view(text only) • Slide sorter view(to arrange and add effects) • Notes page view(for preparing handouts) • Slide show view(to try out your presentation) • These are selected at the bottom left of the screen.

4. Getting started • Look at this presentation in all five views and modify it. • If you save it use “save as” and a different name. • Explore the “Format … Apply design” command • Try “Make-overs” on this presentation using the same text. • Experiment until you understand these ideas.

5. The Look When you have Applied a Design (Format menu) and Inserted your text (Insert Slides from Outline): • Choose Slide Show mode to see the results. • You can design the “Look” step by step using items in the Format menu. • Many of the menus are similar to Word.

6. Master Slide • You can modify the look on all slides at once by using the Slide Masters in the View menu. • Any changes you make will affect ALL slides. • You can change fonts, sizes, colours, backgrounds by using commands in the Format menu. • You can insert Headers, Footers, Logos and Graphics that will appear on all slides. • The Title Master only affects the Title slide.

7. Inserting Graphics • Graphics can be inserted by using “Insert - Picture - Clip Art” from the Insert menu. • There are various ways of doing this. • Graphics can be resized and dragged around just like in Word. • A graphic on the Master Slide will appear on all slides. • You can also insert Word Art, Charts AND Objects in the same way • EXPERIMENT!

8. Special Effects • The two most common effects are Transitions and Builds. • Transitions control how one slide changes into the next. • Builds control the way each point is added to a slide, Go to the Slide Sorter View to do this. (These are called Animations in later versions of Powerpoint and are not in the Slide Sorter view.) • To see a variety of Transitions and Builds in action you can choose random effects.

9. Further Effects The latest versions of Powerpoint have extra effects such as: • Animation • Embedded Sound • Embedded Video. • We will look at these later • But don’t drive your audience to distraction (or destruction)
