Microsoft PowerPoint is a presentation graphics program that produces dynamic and powerful slide shows containing text, graphics, and charts. You can use PowerPoint for formal presentations, meetings or informal presentations, and presentations on the Internet.
Whether presenting an idea, plan, or complex report to a group, you can use PowerPoint to combine essential data, dramatic illustrations, animation and special effects, and timed sequences to convey your important points in an informative and convincing visual presentation.
PowerPoint incorporates a wide variety of tools and features for selecting fonts, formats, styles, and colors. You can import documents from word processing programs or worksheets and charts from spreadsheet applications. For example, in a presentation designed to show your company's financial performance, you could import a previously created list of assets from Microsoft Word and a graph illustrating stock performance from Microsoft Excel. You can use illustrations from clip art libraries or picture files, or you can create your own pictures.
In addition to extensive built-in help, the Microsoft Office Assistant is available to offer tips and hints for using PowerPoint more efficiently. The Office Assistant, a context-sensitive Help feature, may appear in its own window when you start PowerPoint. You can adjust the capabilities of the Office Assistant as well as choose not to have the Assistant appear, if desired.
PowerPoint also provides tutorials for on-line instruction, pre-designed templates for popular types of presentations, and an AutoContent Wizard that builds a basic presentation based on the answers you give to a series of questions.
Additionally, PowerPoint Central provides an on-line link to resources you can use to help you create better presentations. For example, you can use PowerPoint Central to link to Internet sites or to the Office 97 ValuePak multimedia content available on the CD-ROM (to add a variety of sound clips to your presentation).
Before you work in an application, it must be loaded. There are several ways you can load the PowerPoint program. One way to start PowerPoint is to use the Windows Start menu.

In PowerPoint, there are two types of windows: the program window and the presentation window. The program window, which is the larger of the two windows, includes the menu bar, assorted toolbars, and the status bar. These items are briefly described below:

You create and edit slides in the presentation window, which appears within the program window. Since the presentation is its own window, you can size it as desired.
PowerPoint provides five different views in which you can display a presentation. Each view provides a different way of looking at your work. The View buttons are located at the end of the horizontal scroll bar, above the status bar and the Drawing toolbar, if it is displayed. You can also use the View menu to access the various views.

The menu bar provides access to all the features of PowerPoint. Each menu contains commands grouped by function. Some menu commands are grayed or dimmed, which indicates that the command is not available for the current task.
When you select an item on the menu bar, the corresponding menu appears from which you can select the desired command.
When a menu command is followed by an ellipsis (...), selecting it opens a dialog box in which additional information is entered.
In addition to the standard menus on the menu bar, PowerPoint contains shortcut menus that may be accessed by clicking the right mouse button. Shortcut menus contain commonly used commands and are context-sensitive. Therefore, the options available on the shortcut menu vary, depending on the area of the window or the object selected.

Toolbars provide shortcuts to menu commands. Each PowerPoint toolbar is composed of buttons and pull-down lists. Each button executes a specific menu command.
In addition to the many toolbars you can select in PowerPoint, task specific toolbars appear when you are working in the Outline or Slide Sorter views. When you first start PowerPoint, the Standard, Formatting, Drawing, and Common Tasks toolbars appear. Other toolbars appear depending upon the task you are performing.
You can choose to display one, several, or all the toolbars at any given time, depending upon the view in which you are currently working. In addition, you can hide all the toolbars, so that none appear. For example, if your presentation includes only text and inserted clip art pictures, you can hide the Drawing toolbar. You can also hide toolbars to maximize the work area.
When you point to a button on the toolbar, the name for its function appears. This description is referred to as a toolbar ScreenTip.
|

To assist you in quickly and efficiently getting comprehensive help on any PowerPoint feature, you can use the Office Assistant. The Office Assistant appears in the application window as an animated graphic in a small window with a balloon attached. The balloon contains shortcuts for accessing additional topics and tips. When you display the Assistant, the balloon automatically appears. You can move the window portion of the Assistant anywhere on the screen, as well as resize it.
The Office Assistant provides helpful hints called tips to help you get the most from PowerPoint. A typical tip might provide a keyboard combination that quickly displays a particular dialog box or a more efficient way to accomplish a task. When the Assistant has a tip for your current task, a light bulb appears in the Office Assistant window. If the Assistant is not displayed when a tip is available, a light bulb appears on the Office Assistant button on the Standard Toolbar. You can click the Office Assistant button to open the Office Assistant and view the tip.
After you have read the tip, you can close it, or you can view previous tips. However, tips are not available for all PowerPoint functions.

You can query the Office Assistant directly with any questions you may have regarding PowerPoint. When you query the Assistant, help topics related to your question appear. You can select any available help topic to view additional information. If there are more topics than can be displayed at one time, you can use the See more and the See previous commands to scroll through the available topics.
The Office Assistant provides the best answers when you enter a complete sentence or question in a query, rather than just a word or phrase. For example, it is better to ask How do I add bullets to a slide? rather than just bullets. The last query remains in the Office Assistant until you create a new query or close PowerPoint.

The default Office Assistant is an animated paper clip called Clippit. Other Assistants are available, including The Dot, The Genius, Hoverbot, Office Logo, Mother Nature, Power Pup, Scribble, and Will. You can preview and select the desired Assistant in the Office Assistant dialog box.
When you preview the Assistants, each one greets you with a message. The name of the Assistant appears as well as an introduction to it. Even though you can select any Assistant you want, you are limited to only one Assistant at a time. No matter which Assistant you choose, however, the Office Assistant maintains the same functionality.
Other Office programs, such as Word and Excel, share the Office Assistant. Therefore, any changes you make to the Assistant in PowerPoint affect all other Office programs.

You can use the options available on the Options page of the Office Assistant dialog box to make the Office Assistant work best for you. These options, some of which are activated by default, are divided into three distinct groups: Assistant capabilities, Show tips about, and Other tip options.
Some of the options that can be selected under Assistant capabilities include: Respond to F1 key, which opens the Assistant whenever you press [F1]; Move when in the way, which moves the Assistant as needed when screen elements (such as a dialog box) are open; and Guess help topics, in which the Assistant automatically displays help on the current task. These options are all enabled by default.
Under Show tips about, you can choose exactly which type of tip you want to display or hide, depending upon your individual needs. For example, you can select to show or hide tips about Using features more effectively, Using the mouse more effectively, and Keyboard shortcuts. The Using features more effectively and Using the mouse more effectively options are enabled by default.
Under Other tip options, you can select the following options: Only show high priority tips, which shows only important tips (such as time-saving tips); and Show the Tip of the Day at startup, which opens an Office Assistant tip each time PowerPoint starts. Neither of these options are enabled by default.
You can also reset your tips. This option allows you to review previous tips in the current PowerPoint session.

After you have opened the presentation, you can enter text into it. The amount of text you enter depends upon the current slide layout. For example, on a Bulleted List layout, you can add title text into the title area and several lines of text into the body area. However, on the Text & Chart or Text & Clip Art layouts, you must leave enough room to insert the chart or clip art images.
In PowerPoint, text appears in placeholders. Text placeholders determine the placement of text on the page and are formatted with the font style and font size defined for each AutoLayout. Default placeholder text appears until you type the desired text. If you do not enter any text, the default text appears on the screen, but is not printed.
When you click a text placeholder, you switch to edit mode. Selection handles appear around the placeholder and the insertion point appears in it.

Text font is determined by the template and the design you choose when you create a presentation. You can change the font as desired to suit your needs. In this way, you can customize a presentation to accommodate special conditions, such as text for a company logo.
The fonts available to you depend upon which fonts are installed on your computer and printer. A TT symbol next to a font name indicates that it is a True Type font installed in Windows. A printer icon next to a font name indicates that it is a font installed in your printer.

When you are working on a presentation, Outline view allows you to concentrate on the content. Since most presentations list highlights instead of full explanations, Outline view is also an effective way of organizing your thoughts.
Outline view displays a presentation in the form of a classic outline, consisting of a heading and associated body text for each slide. The heading and body text appear on separate lines, with the body text indented to one of five levels. Level one is the highest level. For example, in a presentation highlighting a company's financial performance, a slide might contain the heading Agenda as the title. The body text might include the text Assets at level one and the text Stock Performance indented to level two, below Assets.
Working in Outline view is a convenient way of customizing the content of a presentation. You can add and delete titles, body text, and entire slides. You can edit text, add bullets and other textual emphasis, and move text from one position to another or to another slide.
Outline view also adds a global perspective to your presentation. You can display just the titles to check for continuity, selectively expand a particular selection to review body text, or view the entire outline to verify content. Printing the outline is also a convenient way of reviewing the text in a presentation.

One of the advantages of working with an outline is the ability to expand and collapse the outline. A collapsed outline allows you to see the flow of ideas more easily, since you see only the titles of each slide. You can also collapse all slides except for the current slide. This option leaves more of the screen available.
You can choose to collapse the entire outline and view only the titles of each slide, or you can collapse specific slides. You can also expand the entire outline to view all the body text, or you can expand only specific slides as you want to work with them.

There are five levels of indentation available for the body text on a slide. Level one is the largest in font size and has the smallest indent. Level five is the smallest in size and has the greatest indent.
When you want to place less emphasis on an item, you can demote it. When you demote an item, the font size for that item becomes smaller and the indentation increases. When you want to place more emphasis on an item, you can promote it. When you promote an item, the font size for that item becomes larger and the indentation decreases.

In order to help you check your presentations for errors in spelling, PowerPoint includes a Spelling feature. This feature works in two ways. One way is to automatically check spelling. With this method, the spelling checker automatically identifies words not in PowerPoint’s dictionary as you type. This method is enabled by default. The other way allows you to invoke the spelling checker after a presentation has been created. Both methods find the same errors.
The check spelling as you type feature is an excellent tool for correcting typographical errors as you type. This feature examines the words in a presentation and compares them to the words found in the main dictionary. When a word is found that is not in the main dictionary, a single, red, wavy line appears beneath the word. (Red, wavy lines also appear under words identified as not in PowerPoint’s dictionary when you open a document.)
You have two choices when PowerPoint identifies a word. If the word is spelled correctly in its context, you can ignore the underline and continue typing. You can also correct the misspelled word with one of the suggestions on the shortcut menu. If the correct spelling is not present, you can edit the error in the Spelling dialog box. You can also edit the error in the presentation itself.
You can quickly move to the next spelling by double-clicking the Spelling Status icon on the status bar. This icon, which resembles an open book, displays an X when additional errors are present in a presentation. The Spelling Status icon, however, is only visible if the spelling option has been enabled.
When text is identified as not in PowerPoint’s dictionary, PowerPoint does not automatically correct the error because of the vast complexities and idiosyncrasies of the English language. For example, your company may use an acronym or word that is perfectly correct in its context, although it is identified as incorrect. Therefore, you can decide whether or not to correct identified text.
In addition to checking spelling, the spelling checker searches for oddly capitalized words (tHe), words that should be capitalized (Missouri), and words that should be all capitals (OK).
The identified word can be changed to one of the suggestions, or you can type the correct spelling. You can then choose to change only this occurrence of the word or all occurrences of the word in the document.
You can enable or disable spelling option on the Spelling page of the Options dialog box.

The red, wavy underlines that appear when you check spelling as you type may distract you or clutter the text on the screen. You can select the Hide spelling errors option on the Spelling page of the Options dialog box. This option is helpful if you prefer to check the spelling at a more convenient time.

PowerPoint provides a built-in utility that allows you to check the spelling of all contents in a presentation, including slides, outlines, notes pages, and handout pages. You can check the entire presentation for spelling errors at any time. When you start the spelling checker, PowerPoint begins the spell check at the insertion point.
If the spelling checker does not recognize a word, the word appears in the Not in dictionary text box. At this point, you have several options. You can manually correct the word in the Change to text box, or you can select one of the alternatives in the Suggestions list. After you have made the correction, you can change just the current occurrence of the identified text or you can change all occurrences during the current PowerPoint session.
If the word is not listed in the dictionary, but you know it is spelled correctly, you can ignore the current occurrence of the identified text, ignore all occurrences during the current PowerPoint session, or add the word to the custom dictionary.

o |
The spelling checker does not check embedded objects, text in clip art, or pictures imported into PowerPoint. |

When the spelling checker identifies a word that is spelled correctly, you can ignore the highlighted word and continue the spell check. You can use the Ignore option for proper names and other words that are not included in the main or custom dictionary. For example, a presentation may contain text that is not recognized by the spelling checker, even though it is correctly spelled (for example, your company name).

During a spelling check, you can use the Change option to change the current occurrence of an identified word. The Spelling dialog box lists alternative spellings, if any. For example, if you typed the misspelled word presenttion on a slide, the spelling checker might suggest the alternative spellings, presentation and prevention.
You can also change all occurrences of an identified word in the current presentation. For example, the spelling checker flags the word competative as misspelled. Since you have used this word on several slides in the presentation, you can use the Change All option to change all occurrences of competative to competitive.
If the Spelling dialog box does not offer the correct alternative spelling, you can edit the word directly in the Change to text box.

AutoCorrect can automatically correct misspelled or incorrectly typed words as you type. You can choose to enable any or all of the AutoCorrect options. In addition, AutoCorrect can expand abbreviated text into full words or phrases each time you type the abbreviated AutoCorrect entry followed by a space.
When typing a capitalized word, it is common to hold the [Shift] key too long and accidentally capitalize the first two letters of a word. The Correct TWo INitial CApitals option automatically changes the second capitalized letter to lowercase.
If the Capitalize first letter of sentence option is enabled, AutoCorrect automatically capitalizes the first letter of the first word in each sentence.
The first letter of any of the seven days of the week is automatically changed to uppercase if the Capitalize names of days option is enabled.
If you accidentally turn on the [Caps Lock] key while typing, the Correct accidental use of cAPS LOCK key option automatically corrects case mistakes.

Once you have enabled the AutoCorrect options, PowerPoint can save you time by correcting common mistakes as you type.
The correction may not be made immediately; PowerPoint needs to sense what is being typed before it can make a change. For example, if you are typing the name of a day, you must type all the letters in the word and press [Spacebar] before PowerPoint can capitalize the word.
d Discussion
If you commonly misspell or incorrectly type a word, you can create an AutoCorrect entry for it. Then, whenever you make that particular typing error, it is automatically replaced by the correct text. PowerPoint provides default AutoCorrect entries for a few commonly misspelled words (for example, teh for the and recieve for receive).
In addition, you can create an AutoCorrect entry for any frequently used word or phrase. When you type the defined AutoCorrect entry, it automatically expands into the complete word or phrase. For example, PowerPoint has provided the AutoCorrect entry incl for the word include.
An AutoCorrect entry name can be up to 31 characters long, cannot contain any spaces, and is case-sensitive.

You can use the PowerPoint built-in graphing application, Microsoft Graph 97, to add a chart to a presentation. Microsoft Graph 97 allows you to incorporate charts into your presentations without having to import them from other applications. When you create or edit a chart in PowerPoint, the Microsoft Graph menu bar, toolbar, and datasheet appear. Included are several AutoLayouts containing charts from which you can choose.
The datasheet contains the values depicted in the chart and is composed of rows and columns. You can delete or add rows and columns to the datasheet as needed. The intersection of a row and a column is called a cell. You type the chart data into the cells.
The Microsoft Graph charting module allows you to group any time-based charts by month or year in order to view the appropriate level of detail for the included time analysis. It also allows you to add explanatory detail to a chart to enhance presentations. With the charting module, you can scale fonts and rotate text along the chart axes. In addition, you can add textures, imported pictures, or gradient fills to chart elements. You can also add animation to certain chart elements.

You can change the look of presentation slides, without altering the slide contents, by applying a new design to the presentation. For example, if you had previously created a new presentation without using a design template, you could later apply one of the predefined design templates to it.
When a design template is applied to a presentation, it controls the default appearance of the slides in the presentation including the default objects, text, colors, and formatting.
Applying design templates

|
o |
You can also use the Apply Design command on the Common Tasks toolbar to open the Apply Design dialog box. |

A presentation that maintains consistency from one slide to another looks more professional. However, as you make changes to various slides, you can lose track of the overall appearance of the presentation. To maintain consistency, you can use the Style Checker to review the presentation before you save the changes.
By default, the Style Checker checks for three items: spelling, visual clarity, and case and end punctuation. Visual clarity refers to font attributes and legibility. If there are too many fonts in a presentation, or if the fonts are too small, the text can be difficult to read. If there are too many lines of text or too many bullets in a presentation, the font may be too small to read or there may be too much information on a slide.
You can use the options available in the Style Checker dialog box to specify which aspects of the presentation you want the Style Checker to review. In addition, you can customize the Style Checker in the Style Checker Options dialog box.

Character formatting refers to the font style, size, effect, and color of text on a slide. You can use each of these text effects individually or in combination to enhance the design and visual appeal of a slide. As with all design elements, you should use character formatting judiciously. Too much color or too many different fonts can distract and confuse the audience.
You can use options available in the Font dialog box to apply specific font sizes, styles, special effects, and color to selected text. The Preview button allows you to see the results of the changes before finalizing them.

· Crop clip art
· Resize clip art
· Use AutoClipArt
d Discussion
You can use clip art to add interest and visual impact to a presentation. Clip art can clarify information, illustrate a point, or merely add an attractive feature that makes a slide more interesting.
The PowerPoint Clip Gallery contains hundreds of professionally designed illustrations that can be freely incorporated into your presentations. These illustrations include people, animals, landscapes, banners, various types of equipment and tools, food, and various symbols.
You also can purchase clip art libraries that specialize in specific types of images, such as education, business, or particular industries.
In addition to clip art, the Clip Gallery contains many pictures, sounds, and video clips you can insert quickly to create a multimedia presentation.
Once you have inserted a clip into a presentation, you can resize the image, crop or cut portions of the image away, or change the colors in the image. You also can move the image, make copies of it, and add text to it.
|
|
o |
The Clip Gallery comes complete with its own Help system, specific to inserting and using clip art. |

o |
You can use the Find Clip feature to search the Clip Gallery for the desired clip. |
|

d Discussion
You can add clips to any slide. If the slide layout includes a clip art placeholder, PowerPoint places the selected clip into it. For example, if a slide is based on the Text & Clip Art or the Clip Art & Text AutoLayout, PowerPoint inserts the clip into the clip art placeholder on the slide. On slides without a clip art placeholder, PowerPoint places the clip in the center of the slide. You can insert more than one clip onto a slide.

You can resize clip art on a slide. You can resize a clip to make it larger or smaller to meet your needs. For example, if you insert a clip onto a slide that contains several lines of text, you might want to make the image smaller so that it does not hide any text. You can increase or decrease the size of a clip, either proportionately or disproportionately.
You can resize clip art using the mouse, or you can use the Format Picture dialog box to size it more precisely. This dialog box allows you to size, rotate, and scale clip art proportionally. The Lock aspect ratio option allows you to maintain the aspect ratio of the height and width. The Relative to original picture size option allows you to correct the aspect ratio of a changed image. The Best scale for slide show option allows PowerPoint to determine the optimum image size for a slide show presentation. The Preview button allows you to review the changes before applying them.

d Discussion
If you want to insert clip art on a slide, but you are not sure which clip you want to add, you can use the AutoClipArt feature. PowerPoint scans the presentation, searching for keywords that relate to clips in the Clip Gallery. For example, if your presentation contains text such as powerful, PowerPoint searches the Clip Gallery and identifies clip art that, in some way, depicts that concept.
In the AutoClipArt dialog box, you can select a keyword and the slide on which you want to insert the clip. When you select the View Clip Art button, PowerPoint searches the Clip Gallery and then displays the results of the find in the Microsoft Clip Gallery 3.0 dialog box. You can then select the clip you want to add and insert it onto the slide.

You can use a slide show
to display a PowerPoint presentation on or from your computer. The Slide Show
view allows you to preview a presentation. You can view individual slides, or
you can view the slide show in sequence to assess the flow of the presentation.
Running a slide show is
one of the most effective ways to evaluate the impact of a presentation before
adding your own information, illustrations, and designs. For example, you can
run a slide show to determine if the individual slides are placed in the most
appropriate order for emphasizing the points you are trying to make in the
presentation. In addition, many of PowerPoint’s predesigned presentations
contain instructional slides that can stimulate new ideas, directions, and
alternatives you might find useful.

d Discussion
You can customize PowerPoint presentations using a variety of features, such as custom color schemes and slide backgrounds.
A color scheme is used throughout a presentation to give it a consistent look. You can use one of the preset color schemes available in PowerPoint, or you can create your own color scheme.
The slide background provides an attractive appearance to the presentation and also provides consistency across slides when applied to an entire presentation. You can use one of the preset backgrounds available in PowerPoint, or you can create a custom background and apply it to one or more slides.
Once you create a custom color scheme and slide background for a presentation, you can save the presentation as a custom template so that it can be used for other presentations.
d Discussion
A color scheme is a set of eight colors that coordinate the colors in a presentation (such as background, text, line, shadow, and accent colors). Color schemes can give a presentation a consistent and harmonious appearance. All presentations (including blank presentations) use a color scheme.
PowerPoint design templates include their own color schemes. You can select a preset color scheme, or you can create your own custom color scheme. You can change any color in a color scheme and apply the change to the entire presentation or to individual slides.
You can also copy a color scheme from one presentation to another.
|
|
o |
You can also use color schemes to coordinate the colors in charts and tables or to recolor pictures you have added to slides. |
|
|
d Discussion
You can modify an existing color scheme, select another preset color scheme, or create your own color scheme. You can change any color in a color scheme and apply the change to the entire presentation or to individual slides. You can also apply another preset color scheme to the entire presentation or to individual slides. For example, you can apply a preset color scheme to the title slide without applying the color scheme to the rest of the slides in the presentation.

learn how to:
· Work with the slide master
· Format the slide master
· Add a slide placeholder
· Work with the title master
· Format the title master
· Work with the notes master
· Format the notes master
· Add a notes placeholder
· Format the handout master

d Discussion
The slide master controls the overall look of the slides in a presentation. As you add slides to a presentation, each new slide is automatically formatted according to the slide master. The slide master can contain clip art or pictures, date and time information, automatic slide numbering, and any other information you want to appear on each slide in the presentation.
When you insert an object such as a clip art image or a picture into the slide master, the object appears on all the slides in the presentation except the title slide. For example, you can insert a picture of a globe on the slide master and it will appear on all presentation slides, except the title slide.
You can make changes to the slide master at any time-before creating slides, as you create the presentation, or after you have finished entering information. You can usually get a better idea of what you want to include in the slide master after you have entered the information.
Although the slide master ensures a consistent look for your presentation, every slide does not have to incorporate the slide master formatting. You can make changes to individual slides. These modified slides will retain the changes, even if you change the slide master. For example, you can change the color scheme of a particular slide so that it is different than the color scheme used in the slide master.
The slide master does not contain actual text. Rather, it contains placeholder text. As a result, you cannot enter or edit text in the slide master.
The different areas of the slide master are listed in the following table:
Area |
Description |
Title Area |
The Title Area is located at the top of the slide. You can change the attributes of the title text (font type, font size, alignment, style, etc.), as well as the attributes of the Title Area (fill, line, shadow, placement, etc.). If desired, you can insert objects such as clip art into the Title Area. |
Object Area |
The Object Area is located in the body of the slide. You can change text attributes (font type, font size, alignment, style, etc.), as well as the attributes of the Object Area (fill, line, shadow, placement, etc.). You can format each text level with different attributes. If desired, you can insert objects such as clip art into the Object Area. |
Date Area |
The Date Area is located in the lower left corner of the slide. You can change the look and position of the date. You can specify that the date and time are automatically updated each time the presentation is opened, or you can enter a fixed date and time. In addition, you can choose whether or not to display the time and date on the title slide. |
Footer Area |
The Footer Area is located in the lower center of the slide. You can change the look and position of the footer. You can choose whether or not to display the footer text on the title slide. |
Number Area |
The Number Area is located in the lower right corner of the slide. You can change the position of the slide numbering, as well as the format of the numbers. You can choose whether or not to display the slide number on the title slide. |
d Discussion
In order to format the slide master, you must switch to Slide Master view. Slide Master view displays placeholders for the Title, Object, Date, Footer, and Number Areas.
In Slide Master view, you can change the font, add graphics, and modify other attributes of the slides in the presentation.
If you make formatting changes to the slide master, the changes are applied to all slides in the presentation, except the title slide. For example, if you change the master slide title text to the bold format, the title text on all presentation slides, except those based on the title slide, will appear in the bold format.
Since the slide master contains only placeholder text, you cannot add text to it. If you want specific text to appear on every slide, you must insert a graphic object (in this case, a text box) to hold the text.

The title master controls the look of the title slide in a presentation. You can format text, or add clip art or pictures to the title master. In addition, you can insert date and time information, automatic slide numbering, and any other information you want to appear on the title slide.
You can make changes to the title master at any time-before you create the slide, as you create the presentation, or after you have finished entering information. You can usually get a better idea of what you want to include in the title master after you have entered all the information.
The title master does not contain actual text. Rather, it contains placeholder text. As a result, you cannot enter or edit text in the title master.
Since you can use the Title Slide layout for more than one slide, formatting or objects that are included on the title master will appear on all slides in the presentation using the Title Slide layout.
The different areas of the title master are listed in the following table:
Area |
Description |
Title Area |
The Title Area is located at the top of the slide. You can change the attributes of the title text (font type, font size, alignment, style, etc.), as well as the attributes of the Title Area (fill, line, shadow, placement, etc.). If desired, you can insert objects such as clip art into the Title Area. |
Subtitle Area |
The Subtitle Area is located below the Title Area. You can change the attributes of the subtitle text (font type, font size, alignment, style, etc.), as well as the attributes of the Subtitle Area (fill, line, shadow, placement, etc.). If desired, you can insert objects such as clip art into the Subtitle Area. |
Date Area |
The Date Area is located in the lower left corner of the slide. You can change the look and position of the date. You can specify that the date and time are automatically updated each time the presentation is opened, or you can enter a fixed date and time. In addition, you can choose whether or not to display the time and date on the title slide. |
Footer Area |
The Footer Area is located in the lower center of the slide. You can change the look and position of the footer. You can choose whether or not to display the footer text on the title slide. |
Number Area |
The Number Area is located in the lower right corner of the slide. You can change the position of the slide numbering, as well as the format of the numbers. You can choose whether or not to display the slide number on the title slide. |
d Discussion
In order to format the title master, you must switch to Title Master view. Title Master view displays placeholders for the Title, Subtitle, Date, Footer, and Number Areas. In Title Master view, you can edit the different areas of the title slide.
In Title Master view, you change the font, add graphics, and modify other attributes of the slides in the presentation.
Since the title master contains only placeholder text, you cannot add text to it. If you want specific text to appear on the title slide, you must insert a graphic object (in this case, a text box) to hold the text.
Changes made to the title master affect the title slide only; the other slides in the presentation are not affected. For example, if you insert a picture of a globe on the title master and not on the slide master, the globe will appear only on the title slide.

The notes master defines the formatting for all notes pages in a presentation. If you want specific text, pictures, or special formatting to appear on all the notes pages in a presentation, you should add them to the notes master.
You can make changes to the notes master at any time-before creating notes, as you enter the notes, or after you have finished entering information. You can usually get a better idea of what you want to include in the notes master after you have entered all the notes information.
Since the notes master contains only placeholder text, you cannot add text to it. If you want specific text to appear on every slide, you must insert a graphic object (in this case, a text box) to hold the text.
The different areas of the notes master are listed in the following table:
Area |
Description |
Header Area |
The Header Area is located in the upper left corner of the notes page. You can change the look and position of the header. You can choose whether or not to display the header on the notes pages. |
Date Area |

Slide Image |
An image of the slide appears in the upper portion of the notes page. You cannot edit the slide image from the notes master or in Notes Page view. |
Notes Body Area |
The Notes Body Area appears below the slide image on a notes page. You can change the attributes of the notes text, including font type, font size, alignment, and color. You can format each text level with different attributes. |
Footer Area |
The Footer Area is located in the lower left corner of the notes page. You can change the look and position of the footer. |
Number Area |
The Number Area is located in the lower right corner of the notes page. You can change the position of the page numbering, as well as the format of the numbers. |
d Discussion
In order to format the notes master, you must switch to Notes Master view. Notes Master view displays placeholders for the Header, Date, Slide Image, Notes Body, Footer, and Number Areas.
You can modify the notes master to create a uniform layout and format for your notes. You can change the font, modify paragraph spacing, add graphics, and change other attributes of the notes master. You can also assign different attributes to each element of the notes master. The changes you make to the notes master will affect all notes pages in a presentation. For example, if you can change the format of a selected level of text in the notes master to the italic format, the format of that level of text on all the notes pages will appear in the italic format.

Handouts are printed copies of a presentation that you can distribute to the audience. The audience can use the handouts to take notes, or they can refer to them after seeing the slide show.
The handout master determines the appearance of all handout pages. Any text or graphic element you place in the handout master appears on all handout pages.
In order to format the handout master, you must switch to Handout Master view. Handout Master view displays placeholders for the Title, Object, Date, Footer, and Number Areas. In Handout Master view, you can edit the different areas and the changes will appear on the printed handout pages.
You can also change the background color of the handout master.

d Discussion
When you create a presentation in PowerPoint, you automatically create a slide show. You can customize a slide show by adding any of the special effects listed in the following table:
Special Effect |
Description |
Slide Timing |
You can set the slide show to advance slides automatically rather than manually. You can also designate the amount of time each slide is displayed. |
Slide Transitions |
You can add transition effects to the slide show. For example, you can add the Dissolve transition, which causes one slide image to fall away in small pieces until the next slide is visible. PowerPoint includes over 40 different transitions. |
Text Introduction |
You can display text in a selected slide object at different levels. For example, you can select to introduce the text all at once, a word at a time, or a letter at a time. You can also introduce text according to the paragraph level you specify. |
Animation and Sound Effects |
You can apply a variety of animation and sound effects to selected slide text or objects. |
Hidden slides |
Hidden slides do not appear when you run a slide show. You can put more detailed information on a slide and hide it, using it in the presentation only when desired. |
|
|
o |
It is beneficial to view the slides in Slide Sorter view before you add transitions, timings, and alter text introduction so that you can see the slides and their effects. |
|

d Discussion
Animation effects control when and how text appears on a slide during a presentation. Effects such as motion, direction, and sound add interest to a slide and capture the attention of the audience.
The Animation Effects toolbar contains a variety of effects you can apply to selected slide objects. For example, you can apply the Drop In animation effect to a selected text block. During a slide show, the text will “drop” onto the slide one word at a time.
You can also animate graphics, sounds, movies, and other slide objects

You can create a custom presentation for several audiences using PowerPoint's Custom Shows feature. You can create one presentation that contains all the slides, and then group them into several named subsets for different audiences. You can specify a custom order for each slide show and display individual slides in multiple shows.
For example, you can create one presentation that contains a general slide show which applies to all departments in a company and two separate custom shows, one for the sales department and one for the marketing department. You can show the general slide show and then jump to the custom show that is specific to the individual department.
You can preview a custom show from the Custom Shows dialog box.

You can use the Expand Slide command to automatically expand paragraphs or crowded bullet points on one slide to multiple slides. Each paragraph or top-level bullet point in the bulleted list becomes a title on a new slide. The subpoints from the original bulleted list become bullets on the corresponding new slides.
The Expand Slide command is useful if you want to break out the original bullet points or paragraphs so that they become separate topics on individual slides. For example, if a slide contains several bullet points that list the steps needed to complete a process, you can expand the slide so that each step is addressed in an individual slide. When you expand a slide, the original slide remains intact.

You may find it helpful to take minutes and add notes to your notes pages during an informal presentation. You can use the Meeting Minder to add reminders that you can view after the presentation or during later presentations. For example, audience members may pose interesting points or come up with good ideas during a presentation. You can record their comments as meeting minutes while the presentation is in progress.
The meeting minutes added to a presentation using the Meeting Minder appear on your computer screen only. Whether you are delivering an electronic presentation via a large screen projection system to audience members in the same room, or you are giving a slide show to a remote audience via presentation conferencing, the audience does not view the notes on the presentation slides.
After your presentation, you can display and print any notes you recorded during the presentation. You can also export meeting minutes to a notes page or to a Microsoft Word document.

The PowerPoint Viewer is a special application provided with Office 97 that is designed to run slide shows on computers that do not have PowerPoint installed.
You can include the Viewer when you use the Pack and Go Wizard to compress and save presentations, or you can copy it directly to its own diskette.
If the Viewer has been included by the Pack and Go Wizard, it is automatically loaded when the compressed file is opened. You should make sure that the host drive has enough free disk space: the PowerPoint Viewer uses about 1.7 MB on the hard drive, in addition to the size of the presentation.

You can use an existing Microsoft Word document to create a PowerPoint presentation. You can import text from Word into an existing PowerPoint presentation or create a new presentation. You can also import entire outlines created in Word to use as the basis of a PowerPoint presentation.
When you import text from Word, it appears in PowerPoint in outline format. PowerPoint creates the outline from the applied styles in the Word document. For example, any text formatted in Word in the Heading1 style becomes a slide title in the presentation; text formatted in the Heading2 style becomes first-level text in a presentation slide, etc.
If the text in the Word document has not been formatted using styles, PowerPoint creates the outline using the Microsoft Word paragraph indentations.
You can import an outline created in Word for use as a PowerPoint outline. The first-level headings from the Word outline become slide titles and the body text becomes PowerPoint outline indent levels. The outline imported from Word appears in PowerPoint with the same title and text format of the current presentation. The format is determined by the slide master of the PowerPoint presentation.

Outlines created in Microsoft Word are formatted with heading styles. You can create a new presentation from an existing Word outline by exporting the outline to PowerPoint while you are in Microsoft Word. |
