A presentation consists of one or more slides—similar to a page in a document that contains text, pictures, tables, charts, or other multimedia or graphic objects. The Facet theme is shown here. The PowerPoint window displays in Normal view, which is the primary editing view in PowerPoint. You see a thumbnail—a miniature image—in the left pane and the Slide pane displays a larger image of the active slide. Many of the PowerPoint screen elements are shown here in this table. Being familiar with the parts of the PowerPoint window will help you become efficient in using PowerPoint. A placeholder is a box on a slide with dotted or dashed borders that holds title and body text, charts, tables, and pictures. The title slide is usually the first slide in a presentation, as shown here. Text alignment refers to the horizontal placement of text within a placeholder. You can align text left, centered, right, or justified. A theme is a set of unified design elements that provides a look for your presentation by applying colors, fonts, and effects. A theme can be added when a presentation is created, added, or changed at any time. Themes display in the Themes gallery as shown here. Changing the variant—variations on the theme style and color—of the theme is one formatting option available in PowerPoint. When you insert a new slide into a presentation, it has a particular layout—the arrangement of elements, such as title and subtitle text, lists, pictures, tables, charts, shapes, and movies—on a slide. The New Slide button, a split button—a two part button on the ribbon—inserts a slide automatically from the top half of the button and opens the Layout gallery from the lower half of the button. The Notes pane is an area of the Normal view window that displays below the Slide pane with space to type notes regarding the current slide. The Notes pane is typically used for notes that the speaker wants to mention while making a presentation, but not necessarily information that you want displayed for the audience. An example is shown here. Many slide layouts have a placeholder within which to insert a picture, but pictures can also be inserted directly onto a slide with the Insert tab. The image on this slide was inserted into a placeholder by clicking the Pictures icon. When a picture is inserted and selected, sizing handles—small circles that indicate that it is selected and can be edited or moved—display. A rotation handle displays at the top. A style is a collection of formatting options that you can apply to a picture, text, or an object. When you select a picture, the Picture Tools Format tab displays on the ribbon. The Format tab provides numerous styles to apply to your pictures. The Picture Styles gallery, as shown here, is accessed from the More button in the Picture Styles group. Artistic effects are formats applied to images that make pictures resemble sketches or paintings. The Artistic Effects gallery is shown here. Pressing F5 is a quick way to start the slide show from the beginning. You can also display the first slide you want to show and click the Slide Show button on the lower right side of the status bar. When you’re running a slide show, press the Spacebar or click the left mouse button to advance the slides. At the end of the slide show, a black slide displays indicating that the show is over. Presenter View shows the full-screen slide show on one monitor or projection screen for the audience to see, while enabling the presenter to view a preview of the next slide, notes, and a timer on another monitor.  Notes chapter Getting Started with Microsoft PowerPoint The Header and Footer dialog box—accessed from the Insert tab, Text group, and the Header and Footer button—enables you to insert a header and/or a footer. A header is the text that prints at the top of each sheet of slide handouts or notes pages. A footer is the text that displays at the bottom of every slide or that prints at the bottom of a sheet of slide handouts or notes pages. Slide handouts are printed images of slides on a sheet of paper. Notes pages are printouts that contain the slide image on the top half and notes from the Notes pane in the lower half of a page. There are several print options in PowerPoint 2016. For example, you can print full page images of slides, presentation handouts for your audience with copies of slides, or Notes pages that include speaker notes below an image of the slide. Review the different print options from the image shown here. It is not always necessary to create new content for slides. If content exists in another presentation, you can insert one or more slides into your current presentation through the Reuse Slides pane shown here. When the Keep source formatting check box is checked, original formatting is retained; when it is cleared, the current theme formatting inserted is applied. Outline View displays the presentation outline to the left of the Slide pane and can be used to easily edit presentation text. Each slide in the outline displays the slide number, slide icon, and the slide title in bold. Slides that do not display a slide title in the outline use a slide layout that does not include a title—for example, the Blank layout. Slide Sorter view displays thumbnails of all of the slides in a presentation. Slide Sorter view is helpful in arranging and deleting slides and to apply formatting to multiple slides. Contiguous slides are slides that are adjacent to each other in a presentation. Noncontiguous slides are slides that are not adjacent to each other in a presentation. Animations are movements of objects on the slide. For instance, you can set a group of words to fly in from the top of the screen for an entrance animation. Graphics can be set to increase and then decrease in size for emphasis. Objects, such as a clip art graphic of a bird can follow a path across the screen. Exit animations determine how the object leaves the screen. Animations help to focus the attention of the audience to an important point, control the flow of information onto the slide, and help to maintain the audience’s attention. Take care not to overdo animations as they can distract the audience when presented in excess. Shown Animation gallery with an effect added to the title and to the subtitle. Notice the numbers next to the objects. This indicates which animations will play first and second. The photograph is selected and ready for animation. Once you have selected the animation you can also select from the Effect Options, which include the direction from which the animation originates. For example, the photograph could be set to Float In From Bottom-Right using an entrance animation and effect combination. Animations can be previewed to ensure that they behave as you wish by clicking the Preview button on the Animation tab. When viewing the slide show in the Slide Sorter view, animations on slides are indicated by a star below the slide. Something new in PowerPoint 2010 is the Animation Painter, which enables you to copy an animation sequence from one object to another. Slide transitions are the motion effects that occur in Slide Show view when you move from one slide to the next during a presentation. You can apply a transition to one, several, or all slides. Various effect options are also available; they differ depending on the selected transition. Timing and how slides advance can also be set for transitions The Reading view, as shown on this slide, displays a presentation in a manner similar to a slide show but the taskbar, title bar, and status bar remain available in the presentation window. Thus, a presenter can easily facilitate an online conference by switching to another window without closing the slide show. This view can be used to present online.  - Notes chapter Getting Started with Microsoft PowerPoint A bulleted list, sometimes called an unordered list, is a list of items preceded by small dots Bulleted list or other shapes, which do not indicate order or rank. A- numbered- list, also known - as an - ordered list, displays items preceded by numbers, which indicate sequence or rank of the > - unordered list & items. The font, color, and style of a bulleted or numbered list are determined by the theme. You can change the bullet color and style by using the commands in the Paragraph Group. You can easily change a bulleted list to a numbered list. This shows an example of bulleted symbols converted to a numbered list. A text I box is an object with which you can position text anywhere on a slide. Text boxes - can be formatted by changing the font, font size, and font color. - Shapes are slide objects such as lines, arrows, boxes, callouts, and banners. You can size and move a shape using the same techniques that you use to size and move pictures. You can also add text to a shape. After you add text to a shape, you can change the font and font size, apply font styles, and change text alignment. One interesting way to format a shape is by changing the fill color—the inside color of text or of an object—and the outside line color. The Shape Styles gallery can be used to apply predefined combinations of these fill and line colors and also to apply other effects. G is a tool that captures the exact color from an object on your screen and then applies The eyedropper - it to any shape, picture, or text. The eyedropper can be used to give a presentation a cohesive look by matching a font color, fill color, border color, or other slide element to any color on any slide. You can select multiple objects and group them so that they can be formatted and edited as one object. Once objects are grouped, the sizing handles surround all shapes as one, indicating that the shapes are grouped into one object. The grouped object can be formatted, aligned, and moved as one object.
