1.2 STARTING POWERPOINT
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 notes. You can use this area to write notes, which you can
read from as you deliver your presentation; these notes can be printed out and
are not visible whilst you show the slides. The three buttons on the bottom
left of the screen offer you different views of the presentation.
The normal view shows all elements of the Power Point screen as above.
Slide sorter view shows all slides
together, allowing you to re-order the slides.
Presentation view lets you see each slide as it will appear in the presentation.
