Objectives  Describe the Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 environment using correct terminology.  Become familiar with common tools, commands, and icons.  Locate frequently used buttons.  Describe the functions of frequently used commands. 5

Opening Screen 6

Screen Header  Commands related to managing PowerPoint as a whole (rather than presentation content) are gathered together on a menu available when you click the Microsoft Office Button.  Commands can be represented as buttons on the Quick Access Toolbar. By default, this toolbar displays the Save, Undo, and Repeat buttons.  The Title Bar displays the name of the active presentation. 7

The Ribbon  Below the title bar is the Ribbon, which contains all PowerPoint capabilities in a single area.  The Ribbon is made up of a set of tabs containing commands for working with presentation content. The Home tab is active by default.  On each tab, buttons are organized into groups. 8

Dialog Boxes  Less common tasks are not represented as buttons in the groups; instead they are available in a dialog box.  To access a dialog box, click on the dialog box launcher at the right end of the group’s title bar. 9

Example: Dialog Box 10

Buttons  Some button names are displayed and some are not.  Pointing to any button for a few seconds displays a ScreenTip that shows the button’s name and function. 11

Buttons with Arrows  Some buttons have arrows, but not all arrows are alike!  Clicking this type of button always displays a list of options.  Clicking this type of button carries out the command with the current settings.  Click this button’s arrow displays a list of options. 12

Help! The Help button sits at the right end of the Ribbon. 13
