POWERPOINT

. A graphical presentation program used to organize and present information.


Powerpoint presentations consist of a number of individual pages or “slides.”
Slides may contain text, graphics, sound, movies, and other objects that can be
freely arranged.

Presentations can be printed, displayed live on a computer, or navigated through


at the command of the presenter. For larger audiences, the presentation is often
projected onto a large screen. Handouts, speaker notes, or outlines can also be
produced from the slides.

WINDOW CONTROL BUTTONS- Help, ribbon display options, minimize, maximize &

RIBBON- All commands for Powerpoint

SLIDE PANE- Shows small image of each slide

THE VIEW TOOLBAR

NORMAL VIEW- Main editing view which lets you view individual slide and edit its
content as well as its position. It divides the screen into: Outline tab, Slide tab, Slide pane
and Notes pane.

SLIDE SORTER VIEW- Uses thumbnails of the slides. This lets you see the content of
each slide, makes it easy to reorder, add, or delete slides and preview your transition and
animation effects. To move a slide to a new position, just click and drag.

READING VIEW- Use reading view to deliver your presentation not to an audience (via
a large screen, for example), but instead to someone viewing your presentation on their
own computer. Or, use Reading view on your own computer when you want to view a
presentation not in full-screen Slide show view, but in a window with simple controls that
make the presentation easy to review.

SLIDE SHOW VIEW- Presents slides in a full screen mode, This helps you to preview
the slides as the actual presentation slideshow with its settings (e.g. graphics, audio/
video, timings, animated effects, slide transitions)

Using the Slides Panel


The Slides tab vertically displays thumbnail sized images of the slides in the presentation.
Using the Outline View
The Outline view is an all text view showing the content of your presentation. As such,
the Outline pane helps you edit your presentation's content. To view Outlines from the
View ribbon and Presentations View group select Outline.

layout you want for your next slide. Select a slide layout by clicking on its image
in the Office Theme gallery.
