CHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED WITH POWERPOINT
PowerPoint 2010 is a presentation software that allows you to create dynamic slide presentations that can include animation, narration, images, and videos. In this lesson, you will learn your way around the PowerPoint 2010 environment, including getting to know the new Backstage view. We will also show you how to use and modify the Ribbon and the Quick Access toolbar, in addition to learning how to create new presentations and open existing files. Getting to know PowerPoint 2010 If you are familiar with PowerPoint 2007, you'll notice that there aren't too many changes to the 2010 interface other than Backstage view, which we'll cover later in this lesson. However, if you are new to PowerPoint, you will first need to take some time to learn about slides and how to navigate PowerPoint. Navigating PowerPoint to create a slide presentation PowerPoint uses slides to build a presentation. To create an engaging presentation, PowerPoint allows you to add text, bulleted lists, images, charts, and video to your slides. You can add as many slides as you want to a presentation, and at any time you can view or play back your presentation by selecting one of the slide show play options.

Working with your PowerPoint environment The Ribbon and Quick Access toolbar are where you will find the commands you need to perform common tasks in PowerPoint. If you are familiar with PowerPoint 2007, you will find that the main difference in the PowerPoint 2010 Ribbon is that commands such as Open and Print are now housed in Backstage view.

THE PNP BASIC COMPUTER ESSENTIALS e-Learning (MS PowerPoint 2010)
The Ribbon The Ribbon contains multiple tabs, each with several groups of commands. Some tabs, like Drawing Tools or Table Tools, may appear only when you are working with certain items like images or tables. In addition, you can add your own customized tabs that contain your favorite commands.
Certain programs, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader, may install additional tabs to the Ribbon. These tabs are called add-ins. To customize the Ribbon: You can customize the Ribbon by creating your own tabs that house your desired commands. Commands are always housed within a group, and you can create as many groups as you need to keep your tabs organized. You can even add commands to any of the default tabs, as long as you create a custom group within the tab. 1. Right-click the Ribbon, and select Customize the Ribbon. A dialog box will appear.
2. Click New Tab. A new tab will be created with a new group inside it. 3. Make sure the new group is selected. The Philippine National Police does not endorse any product, brand or service.

Backstage view Backstage view gives you various options for saving, opening, printing, and sharing your presentation. It is similar to the Microsoft Office button menu from PowerPoint 2007 and the File Menu from earlier versions of PowerPoint. However, instead of just a menu it's a full-page view, which makes it easier to work with. To get to Backstage view: 1. Click the File tab.
2. You can choose an option on the left side of the page. 3. To get back to your document, click any tab on the Ribbon. Click the buttons in the interactive below to learn about the different things you can do in Backstage view.

If you have opened the existing presentation recently, it may be easier to 18 choose Recent from the File tab instead of Open to search for your presentation.
Compatibility mode Sometimes you may need to work with presentations that were created in earlier versions of PowerPoint, such as PowerPoint 2003 or PowerPoint 2000. When you open these types of presentations, they will appear in Compatibility mode. Compatibility mode disables certain features, so you'll only be able to access commands found in the program that was used to create the presentation. For example, if you open a presentation created in PowerPoint 2003, you can only use tabs and commands found in PowerPoint 2003. In the image below, the workbook has opened in Compatibility mode. Many of the newer slide transitions have been disabled, and only the 2003 transitions are available.

THE PNP BASIC COMPUTER ESSENTIALS e-Learning (MS PowerPoint 2010)
To exit Compatibility mode, you'll need to convert the presentation to the current version type. However, if you're collaborating with others who only have 19 access to an earlier version of PowerPoint, it's best to leave the presentation in Compatibility mode so the format will not change. To convert a presentation: If you want access to all PowerPoint 2010 features, you can convert the presentation to the 2010 file format. Note that converting a file may cause some changes to the original layout of the presentation. 1. Click the File tab to access Backstage view. 2. Locate and select the Convert command.
3. The Save As dialog box will appear. Select the location where you want to save the workbook, enter a file name for the presentation, and click Save.
4. The presentation will be converted to the newest file type. The Philippine National Police does not endorse any product, brand or service. This tutorial is for training purposes only and not for sale. Reference: http://www.gcflearnfree.org/powerpoint2010/getting-started-with-powerpoint/1/

CHAPTER 2: SLIDES BASICS
PowerPoint includes all of the features you need to produce professionallooking presentations. When you create a PowerPoint presentation, it is made up of a series of slides. The slides contain the information you want to communicate with your audience. This information can include text, pictures, charts, video, and sound. Before you begin adding information to slides, you'll need to know the basics of working with slides. In this lesson, you will learn how to insert new slides, modify a layout, and change your presentation view. Slide basics Every PowerPoint presentation is composed of a series of slides. To begin creating a slide show, you'll need to know the basics of working with slides. You'll need to feel comfortable with tasks such as inserting a new slide, changing the layout of a slide, arranging existing slides, changing slide view, and adding notes to a slide. About slides Slides contain placeholders, which are areas on the slide that are enclosed by dotted borders. Placeholders can contain many different items, including text, pictures, and charts. Some placeholders have placeholder text, or text you can replace. They also have thumbnail-sized icons that represent specific commands such as Insert Picture, Insert Chart, and Insert ClipArt. In PowerPoint, hover over each icon to see the type of content you can insert in a placeholder.

21
About slide layouts Placeholders are arranged in different layouts that can be applied to existing slides or chosen when you insert a new slide. A slide layout arranges your content using different types of placeholders, depending on what information you might want to include in your presentation. In the example above, the layout is called Title and Content and includes title and content placeholders. While each layout has a descriptive name, you can also tell from the image of the layout how the placeholders will be arranged.

CHAPTER 4: APPLYING A THEME
A theme is a predefined combination of colors, fonts, and effects that can be applied to your presentation. PowerPoint includes built-in themes that allow you to easily create professional-looking presentations without spending a lot of time formatting. In this lesson, you will learn all about themes and how to apply them. Themes A theme is a set of colors, fonts, effects, and more that can be applied to your entire presentation to give it a consistent, professional look. You've already been using a theme, even if you didn't know it: the default Office theme, which consists of a white background, the Calibri font, and primarily black text. Themes can be applied or changed at any time. Theme elements Every PowerPoint theme—including the default Office theme—has its own theme elements. These elements are:
Theme Colors (available from every Color menu)

48
THE PNP BASIC COMPUTER ESSENTIALS e-Learning (MS PowerPoint 2010)
Theme Fonts (available from the Font menu)
Shape Styles (available in the Format tab when you click a shape)
Why use theme elements? If you're using theme elements, you'll probably find that your presentation looks pretty good. All of the colors will work well together, which means you won't have to spend as much time formatting your presentation. But there's another great reason to use theme elements: When you switch to a different theme, all of these elements will update to reflect the new theme. You can drastically change the look of your presentation in just a few clicks.
Remember, the colors and fonts will only update if you're using theme fonts or theme colors. If you choose one of the standard colors or any of the fonts that are not theme fonts, your text will not change when you change the The Philippine National Police does not endorse any product, brand or service.

theme. This can be useful if you're creating a logo or title that always needs to look the same, like in the sample below.
Themes and slide layouts As you can see from the two different title slides above, themes also affect the various slide layouts.
If you apply a theme before you start building your presentation, you will be able to arrange your content to fit the layouts you have to choose from. If you apply the theme after, the text boxes and placeholders may move depending on the theme you choose. Applying themes You will need to know how to apply a theme and how to switch to a different theme if you want to use this feature to create presentations. All of the themes included in PowerPoint are located in the Themes group on the Design tab. Themes can be applied or changed at any time.

THE PNP BASIC COMPUTER ESSENTIALS e-Learning (MS PowerPoint 2010) CHAPTER 6: APPLYING TRANSITIONS
Transitions are motion effects that when in Slide Show view add movement to your slides as you advance from one slide to another. There are many transitions to choose from, each one of which allows you to control the speed and even add sound. Applying transitions If you've ever seen a PowerPoint presentation that had special effects between each slide, you've seen slide transitions. A transition can be as simple as fading to the next slide or as complex as a flashy, eye-catching effect. This means you can choose transitions to fit the style of any presentation. About transitions There are three categories of unique transitions to choose from, all of which can be found on the Transitions tab:
Subtle (slight transitions)
Exciting (strong transitions)

65
THE PNP BASIC COMPUTER ESSENTIALS e-Learning (MS PowerPoint 2010) 4. If no appropriate suggestions are given, you can manually type the correct 66 spelling and then click Change.
Ignoring spelling "errors" The spelling check is not always correct. It will sometimes say something is spelled incorrectly when it's not. This often happens with people's names, which may not be in the dictionary. If PowerPoint says something is an error, you can choose not to change it using one of three options: Ignore Once: This will skip the word without changing it. Ignore All: This will skip the word without changing it, and it will also skip all other instances of the word in your presentation. Add: This adds the word to the dictionary so it will never come up as an error again. Make sure the word is spelled correctly before choosing this option. Automatic spell check By default, PowerPoint automatically checks your presentation for spelling errors, so you may not even need to run a separate check using the Spelling command. These errors are indicated by red wavy lines.

THE PNP BASIC COMPUTER ESSENTIALS e-Learning (MS PowerPoint 2010) To use the automatic spell check feature: 1. Right-click the underlined word. A menu will appear. 2. Click the correct spelling of the word from the list of suggestions.
3. The corrected word will appear in the presentation. You can choose to Ignore an underlined word, Add to Dictionary, or go to the Spelling dialog box for more options. Modifying proofing options With customizable proofing options, PowerPoint gives you the ability to change the way it addresses spelling errors, including automatic spell check and contextual spelling. Contextual spelling—an option that is turned off by default but that can be turned on—can help you find and correct spelling mistakes like the use of too vs. two or there vs. their. To modify proofing options: 1. From Backstage view, click Options.

The PowerPoint Options dialog box gives you several 68 options to choose from: o Check spelling as you type: Uncheck this box if you don't want PowerPoint to check for spelling errors automatically. (This automatically checks Hide spelling errors.) o Use contextual spelling: Check this box if you want PowerPoint to check for contextual spelling mistakes, like the use of your vs. you're. o Hide spelling errors: Check this box if you want to hide the red wavy lines that mark spelling errors. (This option is disabled if Check spelling as you type is unchecked.)
If you've turned off the automatic spell check, you can still run a check by going to the Review tab and clicking the Spelling command.

THE PNP BASIC COMPUTER ESSENTIALS e-Learning (MS PowerPoint 2010) CHAPTER 11: INDENTS AND LINE SPACING
Indentation and line spacing are two important features you can use to change the way text appears on a slide. Indentation can be used to visually set paragraphs apart from one another or to create multilevel lists, while line spacing can be adjusted to improve readability or to fit more lines on the slide. Indentation and line spacing Indentation is a useful tool for making your text more readable. When used in paragraphs, a first-line indent helps to set paragraphs apart from one another. When used in bulleted or numbered lists, indents can change the level of each line to form a multilevel list. Line spacing is another tool you can use to control how text looks on the slide. It can be used to improve readability or to fit more lines on the slide. To indent using the Tab key: A quick way to indent is to use the Tab key. In a normal paragraph, this will create a first-line indent, but if the paragraph is part of a bulleted or numbered list, the entire paragraph will be indented. 1. Place the insertion point at the very beginning of the paragraph you want to indent.
2. Press the Tab key. The paragraph will now be indented.

91
THE PNP BASIC COMPUTER ESSENTIALS e-Learning (MS PowerPoint 2010) To use the Indent commands: If you want to indent all of the lines in a paragraph, you can use the Indent commands on the Home tab. For lists, the Indent commands work the same way as the Tab key. 1. Select the text you want to indent. 2. On the Home tab, click the Increase Indent command to increase the indent or the Decrease Indent command to decrease the indent.
3. The selected text will update to reflect the new indent.
When you indent some of the lines in a bulleted or numbered list, it is called a multilevel list. Multilevel lists are useful if you want to create an outline or hierarchy. You may want to choose a different bullet style for different levels of the list to make them stand out even more.
Fine-tuning indents Sometimes you may want to fine tune the indents and tabs in your presentations. You can do this by adjusting the indent markers and tab stops on the ruler. By default, the ruler is hidden, so you'll first need to show the ruler.

92
THE PNP BASIC COMPUTER ESSENTIALS e-Learning (MS PowerPoint 2010) To show the ruler: 1. Select the View tab. 2. Click the Ruler check box in the Show/Hide group if it is not selected. The ruler will appear.
Customizing bullet spacing When working with lists, PowerPoint allows you to adjust the space between a bullet and the text by using the first-line indent marker or the hanging indent marker. The ability to increase and decrease the indentation allows you to customize lists to meet your needs. To change bullet spacing: 1. Select the lines you want to change. 2. On the ruler, drag the first-line indent marker to the right or left. The bullet will move independently from the text. Alternatively, you can drag the hanging indent marker to move the text without moving the bullet.
Line spacing PowerPoint allows you to adjust the amount of space between each line in a paragraph. You can reduce the line spacing to fit more lines on a slide, or you can increase it to improve readability. PowerPoint may automatically change the font size when you adjust the line spacing, so increasing the line spacing too much may cause the text to be too small. To format line spacing: 1. Select the text you want to format. 2. Click the Line Spacing command in the Paragraph group on the Home tab. 3. Select the desired spacing option from the drop-down menu.

THE PNP BASIC COMPUTER ESSENTIALS e-Learning (MS PowerPoint 2010) CHAPTER 12: WORDART AND SHAPES
There are many features and commands you can use in PowerPoint to create visually appealing slides. Two of these features are WordArt and shapes. WordArt allows you to create stylized text with effects such as textures, shadows, and outlines. It can be applied to text on any slide. You can also insert a variety of shapes such as rectangles, circles, lines, arrows, callouts, and stars. Creating WordArt PowerPoint allows you to add effects to the text inside of a text box, which is known as WordArt. For the most part, the types of effects you can add are the same as the ones you can add to shapes and text boxes (shadow, bevel, etc.). However, with WordArt, you can also transform the text to give it a wavy, slanted, or inflated look. To apply a WordArt style to text: A WordArt Style will automatically apply several effects to your text at once. You can then refine the look of your text by adding or modifying text effects. 1. Select a text box, or select some text inside of the text box. The Format tab will appear. 2. Click the Format tab. 3. In the WordArt Styles group, click the More drop-down arrow to view all of the available styles. 4. Select the desired style preset to apply the style to your text.

THE PNP BASIC COMPUTER ESSENTIALS e-Learning (MS PowerPoint 2010) CHAPTER 15: ARRANGING OBJECTS
In PowerPoint, each slide may have multiple items, such as pictures, shapes, and text boxes. PowerPoint lets you arrange the objects the way you want by aligning, grouping, rotating, and ordering them in various ways. After adding objects to a slide, it may be necessary to arrange them so the objects appear the way you want. You can align, group, rotate, and order objects to create the desired arrangement. Aligning objects You can click and drag objects to align them manually, but guesswork will never give you the best result. Additionally, aligning objects in this way can take a great deal of time. Luckily, PowerPoint provides you with several commands that allow you to easily arrange and position objects. To align two or more objects: 1. Click and drag your mouse to form a selection box around the objects you want to align. All of the objects will now have sizing handles to show that they are selected.
2. From the Format tab, click the Align command, and select Align Selected Objects.

THE PNP BASIC COMPUTER ESSENTIALS e-Learning (MS PowerPoint 2010) 4. The objects will be distributed evenly.
Ordering and rotating objects In addition to aligning and grouping objects, PowerPoint gives you the ability to arrange objects in a specific order. Ordering is important when two or more objects overlap because it will determine which objects are in the front or back. To change the ordering by one level: 1. Select an object. The Format tab will appear.
2. From the Format tab, click the Bring Forward or Send Backward command to change the object's ordering by one level. If the object overlaps with more than one other object, you may need to click the command several times to achieve the desired ordering.
3. The objects will reorder.

THE PNP BASIC COMPUTER ESSENTIALS e-Learning (MS PowerPoint 2010) 4. The object in the slide will rotate.
Grouping objects Sometimes you may want to group multiple objects into one object so they will stay together if they are moved. Often, this is easier than selecting all of the objects every time you want to move them. Pictures, shapes, clip art, and text boxes can all be grouped together, but placeholders cannot be grouped. Therefore, make sure not to insert your pictures into placeholders if you will be grouping the pictures. To group objects: 1. Click and drag your mouse to form a selection box around the objects you want to align. All of the objects will now have sizing handles to show that they are selected.
2. From the Format tab, click the Group command, then select Group.

128
THE PNP BASIC COMPUTER ESSENTIALS e-Learning (MS PowerPoint 2010) 3. The selected objects will now be grouped. There will be a single box with 129 sizing handles around the entire group to show that they are one object.
If you select the objects and the Group command is disabled, it may be because one of the objects is inside a placeholder. If this happens, try reinserting the images or cutting and pasting them into the same slide outside of any placeholders. To ungroup objects: 1. Select the grouped object you want to ungroup. 2. From the Format tab, click the Group command, then select Ungroup.
3. The objects will be ungrouped.

THE PNP BASIC COMPUTER ESSENTIALS e-Learning (MS PowerPoint 2010) CHAPTER 16: ANIMATING TEXT AND OBJECTS
In PowerPoint you can animate text and objects such as clip art, shapes, and pictures. Animation—or movement—on the slide can be used to draw the audience's attention to specific content or to make the slide easier to read. Animating text and objects PowerPoint offers a variety of animations you can use to enhance your presentation. Animations can be used to make text or objects appear on a slide, exit a slide, or emphasize the text or objects already on a slide. You can even use motion paths to create a customized animation. The four types of animations There are many different animation effects you can choose from, and they are organized into four types:
Entrance: These control how the object enters the slide. For example, with the Bounce animation, the object will drop onto the slide and then bounce several times.
Emphasis: These animations occur while the object is on the slide and are often triggered by a mouse click. For example, you can set an object to Spin when you click the mouse.
Exit: These control how the object exits the slide. For example, with the Fade animation, the object will simply fade away.

THE PNP BASIC COMPUTER ESSENTIALS e-Learning (MS PowerPoint 2010) Working with animations To add multiple animations to an object: If you select a new animation from the menu in the Animation group, it will replace the object's current animation. However, you'll sometimes want to place more than one animation on an object, such as with an entrance and exit effect. To do this, you'll need to use the Add Animation command, which will allow you to keep your current animations while adding new ones. 1. Select the object. 2. Click the Animations tab. 3. In the Advanced Animation group, click the Add Animation command to view the available animations. 4. Select the desired animation effect.
5. If the object has more than one effect, it will have a different number for each effect. The numbers indicate the order in which the effects will occur.

Embedding a video from a website Some websites—like YouTube—allow you to embed videos into your slides. An embedded video will still be hosted on its original website, meaning the video itself won't be added to your file. Embedding can be a convenient way to reduce the file size of your presentation, but you'll also need to be connected to the Internet for the video to play.
We have found that this feature no longer works in PowerPoint 2010. If you need to add an online video, you could insert a hyperlink to the video directly on your slide. (Review our lesson on Hyperlinks and Action Buttons to learn how) Working with the video To preview the video: 1. Make sure the video is selected. 2. Click the Play/Pause button below the video.

THE PNP BASIC COMPUTER ESSENTIALS e-Learning (MS PowerPoint 2010) CHAPTER 20: HYPERLINKS AND ACTION BUTTONS
When you're online, you're using hyperlinks to navigate from one webpage to another. If you want to include a web address or email address in your PowerPoint presentation, you can choose to format them as clickable hyperlinks. It's also possible to link to files and other slides within a presentation. It's easy to do all of this using two tools: hyperlinks and action buttons. Inserting hyperlinks Adding hyperlinks to your presentation can help readers quickly access contact information or information from the Internet. Additionally, hyperlinks in the form of action buttons are useful for navigating your slide show. To use hyperlinks, you'll need to know how to insert hyperlinks using text and objects, as well as how to insert action buttons. About hyperlinks Hyperlinks have two basic parts: the address of the webpage, email address, or other location they are linking to; and the display text, which can also be a picture or shape. For example, the address could be http://www.youtube.com and the display text could be YouTube. In some cases, the display text might be the same as the address. When you're creating a hyperlink in PowerPoint, you'll be able to choose both the address and the display text or image. To insert a hyperlink: 1. Select the image or text you want to make a hyperlink. 2. Right-click the selected text or image, then click Hyperlink.

If you plan on displaying your presentation on a different computer than you used to create it, your hyperlink to another file may not work. Make sure you have a copy of the linked file on the computer you are using to present, and always test hyperlinks before giving a presentation. Inserting action buttons Another tool you can use to connect to a webpage, file, email address, or slide is called an action button. Action buttons are built-in button shapes you can add to a presentation and set to link to another slide, play a sound, or perform another action. When someone clicks or moves over the button, the selected action will occur. Action buttons can do many of the same things as hyperlinks. Their easy-tounderstand style makes them especially useful for self-running presentations at booths and kiosks. You can insert action buttons on one slide at a time, or you can insert an action button that will show up on every slide. The second option can be useful if you want every slide to link back to a specific slide, like the title page or table of contents.

A chart is a tool you can use to communicate your data graphically. Displaying charts in PowerPoint allows your audience to see the meaning behind the numbers, and it makes showing comparisons and trends much easier. In this lesson, you will learn how to insert charts and modify them so they communicate information effectively. Charts In many ways, charts are an ideal way to present information in PowerPoint 2010. They give you an illustration of your data. A chart can help you show your audience what your data means and why it's important. Plus, they can add visual interest to slide shows that are otherwise filled with text. To use charts effectively, you'll need to know how to insert and modify them. Types of charts Click the arrows in the slideshow below to view examples of some of the types of charts available in PowerPoint.

THE PNP BASIC COMPUTER ESSENTIALS e-Learning (MS PowerPoint 2010) CHAPTER 23: REVIEWING PRESENTATIONS
Before showing your PowerPoint presentation, you might decide to ask someone to look over it. The two of you might even collaborate on a presentation. If you were revising a hard copy of a report, you might add comments in the margins or compare your rough and final drafts side by side. You can also do these things in PowerPoint using the Comments and Compare features. Reviewing presentations Have you been asked to work with someone to create a PowerPoint presentation? Or perhaps you've created a slide show and want another person to view it to make sure everything looks polished. PowerPoint's Comments and Compare features make it easier for you to collaborate with others on the content of your presentation. Commenting on presentations When you are revising or collaborating on a presentation, you might want to make notes or suggestions without actually changing anything on the slide. Using comments allows you to take note of anything on a slide without altering the slide itself. Comments can be added and read by the original author or any other reviewers. To add a comment: 1. Select the text, or click the area of the slide where you want the comment to appear. 2. Select the Review tab, and locate the Comments group. 3. Click the New Comment command.

THE PNP BASIC COMPUTER ESSENTIALS e-Learning (MS PowerPoint 2010) CHAPTER 24: ADVANCE PRESENTATION OPTIONS
There are many things to keep in mind when giving a presentation. How long will your presentation last? What will you say? If you're not in the same location as your audience, how will they view it? Fortunately, PowerPoint 2010 offers several tools to help you ensure your presentation goes smoothly. Rehearse and record slide shows It's good practice to rehearse your presentation before you present your slide show to an audience. You can use PowerPoint's Rehearse Timings feature to advance slides while you practice presenting. If you are unable to present your slide show, PowerPoint's Record Slide Show feature allows you to record narration. Optional: You can download this example for extra practice. Rehearsing slide show timings Rehearsing timings can be useful if you want to set up a presentation to play at a certain speed without having to click through the slides to present it. Think of it as a tool to help you practice presenting your slide show. Using this feature, you can save timings for each slide and animation. PowerPoint will then play back the presentation with the same timings when you present it. To rehearse timings: 1. Select the Slide Show tab, and locate the Set Up group. 2. Click the Rehearse Timings command. You will be taken to a full-screen view of your presentation.

212
THE PNP BASIC COMPUTER ESSENTIALS e-Learning (MS PowerPoint 2010) 3. Practice presenting your slide show. When you're ready to move to the next slide, click the Next button on the Recording toolbar in the top-left corner. 213 If you prefer, you can also use the right arrow key.
4. When you've reached the end of the show, press the Esc key to end your slide show. A dialog box will appear with the total time of your presentation.
5. If you are satisfied with your timings, click Yes. If you need more than one try to get the timings just right, the Recording toolbar has options to let you take a break or start over on a slide. To pause the timer, click the pause button on the toolbar. No actions taken while the timer is paused will be included in the timings. To re-record the timings on the current slide, click the repeat button.
Recording your slide show The Record Slide Show feature is similar to the Rehearse Timings feature, but it's more comprehensive. If you have a microphone for your computer, you can even record voiceover narration for the entire presentation. This is useful if you plan on using your slide show for a self-running presentation or a video. Your mouse won't show up on screen in recorded slide shows, so if you want to point out details on screen, you can use PowerPoint's laser pointer option.

THE PNP BASIC COMPUTER ESSENTIALS e-Learning (MS PowerPoint 2010) Sharing presentation options PowerPoint 2010 offers several options to enhance or even totally change the way you deliver presentations. Instead of presenting your slide show normally, you can choose to present it as a video or broadcast it live online so others can view it remotely. No matter how you choose to give your presentation, you can enhance it by customizing your slide show to remove or reorder slides and printing handouts to help your audience take notes. All of these options can help you give a polished and professional presentation. Presenting your slide show as a video The Create a Video feature allows you to save your presentation as a video. This can be useful because it lets viewers watch the presentation whenever they want. To make sure your viewers have enough time to view each slide, you might want to rehearse the timings or record your slide show before using this feature. To create a video: 1. Click the File tab. This takes you to Backstage view. 2. Select Save and Send. 3. Select Create a Video under File Types. The Create a Video menu will appear on the right.

THE PNP BASIC COMPUTER ESSENTIALS e-Learning (MS PowerPoint 2010) CHAPTER 25: SLIDE MASTER VIEW
Slide Master view is a special mode in PowerPoint that allows you to modify slides and slide layouts in your presentation. Slide Master view You may have noticed that when you select a different theme in PowerPoint, it rearranges the text on your slides and adds shapes to the background. This is because each theme has built-in slide layouts and background graphics. You can edit these layouts with a feature called Slide Master view. Once you learn how to use Slide Master view, you'll be able to customize your entire slide show with a few clicks. What is Slide Master view? Slide Master view is a special feature in PowerPoint that allows you to quickly modify the slides and slide layouts in your presentation. From here, you can edit the slide master, which will affect every slide in the presentation. You can also modify individual slide layouts, which will change any slides using these layouts. Let's say you find a theme you like but don't like the slide layouts. You could use Slide Master view to customize the layouts exactly the way you want. In Slide Master view, the Slide Master tab will appear first on the Ribbon, but you'll still be able to access commands on different tabs as normal.

Using Slide Master view Whether you're making significant changes to your slides or just a few small tweaks, Slide Master view can help you create a consistent and professional presentation without a lot of effort. You can use Slide Master view to change just about anything in your presentation, but here are some of its most common uses:
Modifying backgrounds: Slide Master view makes it easy to customize the background for all of your slides at the same time. For example, you could add a watermark or logo to every slide in your presentation or modify the background graphics of an existing PowerPoint theme. Rearranging placeholders: If you find that you often rearrange the placeholders on each slide, you can save time by rearranging them in Slide Master view instead. When you adjust one of the layouts in Slide Master view, all of the slides with that layout will change. Customizing text formatting: Rather than change the text color on every slide individually, you can use the slide master to change the text color on all slides at once. Creating unique slide layouts: If you want to create a presentation that looks different from regular PowerPoint themes, you could use Slide Master view to create your own layouts. Custom layouts can include your own background graphics, placeholders, and more.
Some overall presentation changes, such as customizing the theme fonts and theme colors, can be made quickly from the Design tab. Review our lesson on Modifying Themes to learn more. To make changes to all slides: If you want to change something on all slides of your presentation, you can edit the slide master. In our example, we'll add a logo to every slide. 1. Select the View tab, then click the Slide Master command. The Philippine National Police does not endorse any product, brand or service. This tutorial is for training purposes only and not for sale.

2. The presentation will switch to Slide Master view, and the Slide Master tab will be selected on the Ribbon. 3. In the left navigation pane, scroll up and select the first slide. This is the slide master.
4. Use the desired tabs on the Ribbon to make changes to the slide master. In our example, we'll insert a picture in the upper-left corner of the slide.

THE PNP BASIC COMPUTER ESSENTIALS e-Learning (MS PowerPoint 2010) 5. Move, resize, or delete other slide objects as needed. In our example, we'll 227 resize the title placeholder to fit below our newly inserted logo.
6. When you're finished, click the Close Master View command on the Slide Master tab.
7. The change will appear on all slides of the presentation.
The Philippine National Police does not endorse any product, brand or service. This tutorial is for training purposes only and not for sale. Reference: http://www.gcflearnfree.org/powerpoint2010/getting-started-with-powerpoint/1/
THE PNP BASIC COMPUTER ESSENTIALS e-Learning (MS PowerPoint 2010) When you make a change to the slide master, it's a good idea to review your presentation to see how it affects each slide. You may find that some of your slides 228 don't look exactly right. On the next page, we'll show you how to fix this by customizing individual slide layouts. If you're inserting a background graphic, you may want to send it behind all other objects on the slide. Right-click the object, select Send to Back, then click Send to Back. Review our lesson on Arranging Objects to learn more.
Now it's your turn! Try adding or moving a shape on the slide master and see how it affects the rest of your slides. Customizing slide layouts You can use Slide Master view to modify any slide layout in your presentation. It's easy to make small tweaks like adjusting background graphics and significant changes like rearranging or deleting placeholders. Unlike with slide master, changes to a slide layout will only be applied to slides using that layout in your presentation. To customize an existing slide layout: In our example, our newly added logo overlaps a background graphic in the Content with Caption Layout. We'll customize this layout to make room for the logo. 1. Navigate to Slide Master view. 2. Locate and select the desired layout in the left navigation pane. You can hover the mouse over each layout to see which slides are currently using this layout in the presentation. The Philippine National Police does not endorse any product, brand or service.

3. In some layouts, the background graphics may be hidden. To show the graphics, uncheck the box next to Hide Background Graphics.
4. Add, move, or delete any objects you want. In our example, we'll move the purple rectangle to better show our new logo.

THE PNP BASIC COMPUTER ESSENTIALS e-Learning (MS PowerPoint 2010) 5. If you want to change the arrangement of the placeholders, you can move, resize, and delete any of them. In our example, we'll rearrange our 230 placeholders to create more room for text on the slide.
6. When you're finished, click the Close Master View command on the Slide Master tab.
7. All slides using the layout will be updated.
To add a new slide with the customized layout, click the bottom half of the New Slide command, then select the desired layout.

You can also move placeholders on the slide master, which will move the placeholders on multiple slide layouts at the same time. However, some slide layouts may still need to be adjusted manually.
Customizing text formatting You can also customize the text formatting from Slide Master view, including the font, text size, color, and alignment. For example, if you want to change the font for every title placeholder in your presentation, you can modify the master title style on the slide master.
Every title placeholder is connected to the master title style on the slide master. As you can see in the example below, modifying the font on the slide master changes the title font on every slide.

232
Rather than customize individual placeholders, you can change the theme fonts for the presentation. From the Slide Master tab, click the Fonts command in the Edit Theme group, then select the desired fonts.
Creating new slide layouts One of the most powerful features of Slide Master view is the option to create new slide layouts. This is an easy way to add interesting and unique slide layouts to an existing theme. You can even use this feature to design an entirely new theme, as in the example below.
