When you first open PowerPoint, you can start on the new tab and choose a blank presentation or choose templates. Templates are pre-designed PowerPoint presentations you can edit. You can also search on the top to see more templates. We’ll double click blank presentation to start from scratch. Powerpoint overview/Layout: Let’s get familiar with the layout of Powerpoint. On top, you have your menu which shows you different tabs. Under each of these tabs, you have what’s called a ribbon which is the options you have for each menu or tab item. These will change depending on what menu you are on. IN the middle, you have your first slide. On the left, you can see all of your slides if you have more than one. And on the button of the page, you can change your zoom and layout option for how you display Powerpoint. Creating a slideshow: You can start with your first slide and type in the text for your title. We’ll get to styling our presentation after adding the content. You can choose a theme though if you like to use the design tab before you start. But this can be changed at any time. To add a second slide, you can go to the home tab and click a new slide. It will create a new slide and you can select it on the slides menu to edit it. Slide one will look different than slide two, because slide one is for the title of your presentation, and slide two is for the content of it. You can also choose a template when clicking on the new slide to create a slide that you want with the right layout. Copy/Paste: You can always copy a block of text from Word or the web and paste it in the inside of text boxes in Powerpoint. You can always add a text box to a different part of your presentation slides. Adding pictures or video: You can insert pictures from your computer or from the web using the insert tab in PowerPoint. You can move the pictures around and resize them to fit your slide. Using Transitions/Animations: Transitions are the effect between two slides. The animation is the effects you can apply to elements inside each slide. Saving: Before closing, you’ll need to click on the save icon on top and save your document, so you can come back and edit it later. It won’t automatically save. Each PowerPoint will save as a.PPTX file. You can also save it online to your OneDrive. Presentation: You can click on the slideshow at the bottom of the screen to start the slideshow. If you have a second monitor or if you are plugged into a TV, you can use presentation mode. You’ll see a display that shows you the next slide, timer, and your notes. Your audience will only see the full presentation. You can also use a presentation remote to go between slides. Thank you for watching this video!
