EBAOMS MS POWERPOINT TRAINING

If you have finished working on a presentation for the time being but want to carry on using PowerPoint to edit a different presentation, you should save your work as described above, then click the Office button and select Close from the menu or click the close button in the presentation window. This will close the presentation down but will keep PowerPoint running. You can then begin work on your second presentation. OPENING EXISTING FILES When you want to continue work on a presentation that you started earlier you should click the File button and select your file from the list in the right column of the menu. If your file is not listed, click Open to see the following dialog box. You can then select a file from the list or use the Look in menu to access files on different drives or use the History button to list your most recently used PowerPoint files. When you have your file selected click on the Open button to load it into Power Point.

  As you type data from the keyboard it will appear on your screen, and you can watch as your presentation grows. To make your work safe you need to make a secure copy of your presentation in a file. To save your file, either click the File button and select Save, or click the save button in the quick access toolbar. The first time you do this for a particular file you will get a dialog box where you can supply a name for your workbook and specify a place in which to save it. Specify a name for the file in the File Name box. A file name can contain up to 256characters, including spaces and capital letters. Next you need to specify the location for the file. This can be any folder on your hard disk or network account. Initially, PowerPoint will offer you the My Documents folder, but you can change this by selecting a new drive or folder from the Save in menu. The file name is followed by the extension .pptx the name helps you identify individual files whereas the extension helps Pow

In the Design Tab in the Ribbon, you will find buttons to change colors, fonts, effects, and background graphics. Click Format Background and in the left of your document you will see this dialogue box appear. You can explore the possibilities yourself. In this book's examples we will not modify the chosen color theme, but you can freely choose whether you want to change some things.

If you have started a new blank presentation and customize page to "on-screen show" in landscape format, you should have something that looks like this: Let us add some colors’ right now. PowerPoint contains many beautiful color themes that you can use. A color theme is a complete collection of settings for background graphics, fonts, font colors, etc., which ensures that everything matches. If later you insert an Excel or Smart Art chart, the colors in these charts also automatically harmonize with the color theme you have chosen for your presentation. You can always change the color theme if you regret the one you chose at first. 1.    Select the Design Tab in the Ribbon. Now you can choose between many different color themes. When you point to a theme with the mouse, your slides change colors, so you can see how it looks. To the right of the color themes, there are three small buttons with some arrows on. It is not all color themes that you can see directly. When y

Depending on what your presentation will be used for, you can choose between different slide formats. You can choose plain A4 if you print your presentation on transparencies, or you can choose a format to fit your computer screen, which will also fit a projector connected to a computer. 1. Start with a new, blank presentation. This is the presentation we are going to work with from now on. 2. Choose the Design Tab in the Ribbon and click on the Slide Size button on the Customize Panel as shown below and click customize slide size. This opens a small window where you can change the settings of the slide format. 3. We will make a presentation that is shown on the screen. It is called an "on-screen show". Make sure that the settings are as shown in Figure above and click OK.

Templates are completely or partially pre-filled presentations that suit various tasks. They are an easy way to quickly create a nice presentation. All you must do is change the text to include your message, and possibly add or delete individual slides. I trust that you installed the included templates when you installed the program on your computer. In this exercise I do not use a template from "Microsoft Office Online", but the process is the same. However, it might take a moment to download the template to your computer, depending on how fast your Internet connection is. In this exercise we open a new template that can be used as a photo album. 1.    Click on the File tab in the top right corner of the screen. 2.    Click on New. 3.    In the left side, select Installed Templates. 4. Highlight the template Berlin. 5. Double-click the template or click the Create button. This opens a new presentation. Everything is set up and you just need to insert images a

The user interface is very different to previous versions of Power Point. Once you get used to it, it becomes very easy to use. Microsoft has created online training modules, which tell you how to find familiar commands in the new interface. The File Tab In the Ribbon on top-left corner of the new interface you will find the File tab, which replaces the File menu from previous versions of PowerPoint. Click this button to reveal options allowing you to Save and Print files. It contains a list of your most recently accessed presentations, and it contains the PowerPoint Options button, which take you to options previously found in the Tools menu under Preferences. The Quick Access Toolbar Situated to the right of the Office button, the Quick Access toolbar holds buttons that can be accessed from all views of PowerPoint. Whatever you are currently doing, you will be able to access these commands. Initially, the toolbar contains a Save button and Undo and Redo buttons, but you can eas

  You can have as many presentations open as you like, or as your computer's memory allows. In most cases, this means more than you'll ever need. You are not to only have one presentation open at a time. In the following we will learn to create a new, blank presentation based on a completely blank template. That means a blank presentation like that which appears when PowerPoint starts up. Later we shall have a look at the many beautiful templates you can use. To use PowerPoint, you first need to start up your computer and log on with your username and password. Click the Start button and select PowerPoint. When PowerPoint loads you will see the following screen. Now we can make our new empty presentation. 1.     Click on Blank Presentation, the new PowerPoint presentation will open as shown below: The area in the center displays the slide layout. The area on the left displays the structure of your presentation as it builds. The area below the slide is labeled Click to add
