What is PowerPoint? :What is PowerPoint? The following gives you a quick overview of what you can do in PowerPoint: When you create a presentation using PowerPoint, the presentation is made up of a series of slides. The slides that you create using PowerPoint can also be presented as overhead transparencies or 35mm slides. In addition to slides, you can print audience handouts, outlines, and speaker's notes. You can format all the slides in a presentation using the powerful Slide Master which will be covered in the tutorial. You can keep your entire presentation in a single file- all your slides, speaker's notes, and audience handouts. You can import what you have created in other Microsoft products, such as Word and Excel into any of your slides. 6/15/2008 This tutorial is copyrighted by the Department of Computer Science at The University of Rhode Island.

Acknowledgement is given to the URI Dept. of Computer Science. 12 Slide Masters A PowerPointSlide Master contains objects that you want to appear on each slide in your presentation. With a Slide Master, you only have to create an item once and PowerPoint will automatically include them on every slide. Some things are set up by PowerPoint (for example; place for slide title and text) so you don't have to create them each time. If you want to add additional items to a master, you can at any time. The Slide Master has boxes already set up for the slide title and text. They're called the Master Title and the Master Body object. The format of these objects determines the way your text will look on each slide. You can always make slides look different from the Slide Master, but a Slide Master gives you a consistent starting point.


Slide 13:6/15/2008 This tutorial is copyrighted by the Department of Computer Science at The University of Rhode Island. Acknowledgement is given to the URI Dept. of Computer Science. 13 The Slide Master is flexible. You can move objects around, add art, add headings or labels, change colors and fonts. As you create a slide, you have the option of using or not using the elements from the Slide Master. To change the entire presentation, you simply change the format of the Slide Master. PowerPoint will then change all your slides accordingly.


PowerPoint Templates :PowerPoint also offers templates. A template is a presentation containing PowerPoint masters and a color scheme. PowerPoint offers 160 pre-designed templates to help you get started quickly. Applying a template to a presentation you are creating means the design work is already done for you. You can apply a template when you are just starting a presentation, or you can create a presentation and apply the template later. Now that you have learned about PowerPoint masters and templates it is time to learn create a slide. 6/15/2008 This tutorial is copyrighted by the Department of Computer Science at The University of Rhode Island.

Slide 26:6/15/2008 This tutorial is copyrighted by the Department of Computer Science at The University of Rhode Island. Acknowledgement is given to the URI Dept. of Computer Science. 26 When you display your presentation electronically as a slide show, the slides take up the full screen. All the tools, menus, and other screen elements are hidden so as not to detract from your show. Your computer becomes the equivalent of a slide projector. PowerPoint offers a number of features you can use when you run your slide show: You can use special effects, such as transitions and builds, to add variety. You can practice giving your presentation and set automated timings for your slides to match your rehearsal times. In this part of the tutorial we will discuss transitions and builds.

Acknowledgement is given to the URI Dept. of Computer Science. 27 Build Slide A build slide is a slide that starts with the first major bullet point and shows more major bullet points as the presentation proceeds. You decide whether you want to dim previous points on the slide as new points appear and what effect you want to use when the bullet points appear (for instance, bullet points can fly in from the right, left, top, or bottom).

Fading from black and dissolving from one slide to another are two examples of transitions. You have a choice of transitions for each slide, plus you can vary the speed of each transition.

When you set your transitions, you can also set how long you want each slide to appear on the screen.


Slide 32:6/15/2008 This tutorial is copyrighted by the Department of Computer Science at The University of Rhode Island.

Click how fast you want the transition to take place- Slow, Medium, or Fast. Decide how you want to advance to the next slide and, if need be, set the timing. If you want the slide to advance automatically, you need to decide how long the slide should appear on-screen before advancing to the next slide:
