Set up powerpoint presentation?
Question:
Answer:
Calm down. This is simple.
Here's how to get there: start>all programs>microsoft office>microsoft powerpoint.
Let's make your basic powerpoint.To get a background, click on the DESIGN button next to the capital A with a black rectangle under it. Then, click on DESIGN TEMPLATES and choose your favorite. To apply one template to every slide, click APPLY TO ALL SLIDES. Don't like the colors? click on the A I metioned earlier to change the color of the font. Or, to change the background colors, go to COLOR SCHEMES under Design Templates. You can choose your favorite colors. If you want a specific layout for each slide, go to the FORMAT drop down list and click SLIDE LAYOUT. To add a chart or graph, simply go to the INSERT drop down list and click either chart or table. Just add all the information you need. To make another slide, click on NEW SLIDE. And, to type, simply click on the slide.
Let's make your powerpoint interesting. You can choose ANIMATION SCHEMES (under color schemes) to make animate your words. To add a picture, movie, or sound/music go to the drop down list INSERT and choose which one. You can add movies or music/sound from your files or from the one powerpoint has.
Now, you are done with your powerpoint, now it's time to revise it. To check your spelling, press F7 on your keyboard. To view your slide show, press F5.
Smile! You are finished and hopefully you did a good job. Go to the FILE drop down menu then click SAVE to save your work. You can either print out your information to get it to where it is needed, or save it on a CD-R or thumb drive, which works best.
Hope it wasn't too hard! And good luck!
Go to your start button, go to programs, go to Microsoft Office, then click on Microsoft PowerPoint. I would just use the templates that are there.
Open powerpoint
It pops up with a blank slide
Format - slide design. all designs will appear at the right, chose the design you want
enter the text.
Insert, new slide
enter the text
so on and so on till your done
Format - slide layout give you on the right different slide layouts to use.
Hope this helps!
well, first of all, xp does not come with power point. Office xp does. You may have to either lay down some dough to buy office xp or office 2003 or if go to your college computer lab to use that program. If you're lucky, your friends may have it. Once you have Power Point and have it up and running, it should be very easy to use.
Good morning. If you are truly clueless on how to put together a PowerPoint presentation, my recommendation would be to use the AutoContent Wizard. It will not only help you decide on a background but it will also help you determine what information to put in the presentation and in what type of layout.
Open PowerPoint. Select File, New. A task plane will pop up on the right side of the screen named New Presentation. Select from Auto Content Wizard. This will bring up question dialog boxes in which you will pick and choose what is best for you.
I do put together presentations for others for a living. I always start with an outline on paper before I begin the visuals. You need to ask yourself one general question before you begin...What do you want your audience to walk away with? Work backwards from there. For example, if I want my audience to know how to make chocolate chip cookies at the end, what things will they have to know to be able to make them? They'll need to know the ingredients, what types of materials will they need, how do they mix the ingredients, what do they do with the ingredients once mixed. If I counted right, that's about four slides already. I'll need an opening slide and a closing slide. Therefore I have six altogether.
Once you've determined your outline and estimated the number of slides, try to thing of an interested graphic you could put onto each slide just to dress it up a little. You can download images from the Internet and put them in your PowerPoint.
You can also go to www.brainybett.com. This is a great website for backgrounds and she has a lot of PowerPoint tutorials.
Good luck.
