How to Begin This is how the page will first look like when you open a new page. Adding a title is as simple as clicking and typing. To edit, re-click text box.

Getting started… Choose a blank presentation.

Layouts Depending upon what you would like to do, you can choose the number of text and image boxes. You can use image boxes for graphs and videos too! You can always add extra text or image boxes after. It is also easy to change the size of the boxes.

Using Templates Click Design (top right in between Font Color and New Slide) To choose the background for your slide.

Making a New Slide After you made your first page, click (top right) on New Slide, to make your second, third, forth page etc…

Adding Color and Design To make your slides spiffy, you can click Design and then Color Schemes and choose your colors.

Adding more Color & Design If you don’t like any of the available pre-made color schemes, click on the text at the bottom of the panel that says “Edit Color Schemes.” A new window will pop up that will allow you to make your own custom color scheme

Show Time! Not only can you modify the appearance of text and slides, but you can also change how the slide show presents itself. The Slide Show menu gives you the ability to change how slides transition from one to the other, and you can also change the way text appears on the slide.

Slide Transitions To keep your slide show interesting, you may want to consider applying slide transitions to your slides. A transition is an effect used to introduce slides from one to another. You can access the slide transitions by going to the menu bar and selecting Slide Show >> Slide Transition.

Slide Design When you select a text box, an image object, a graph, or any other sort of PowerPoint object, you can choose to apply an animation to it. View the Animation Schemes by going to the menu bar and selecting Slide Show >> Animation Schemes.

Custom Animations For more advanced work with animations, you can choose to make your own special effects to apply to objects. Go to the menu bar and select Slide Show >> Custom Animation. The custom animation options will appear in the “Slide Design” panel on the right side of the screen. You can come up with just about any kind of combination of transitions, directions, timing, and grouping of words/letters/objects.

Setup Presentation When you have finished your slide show presentation, you can do a bit of prep-work before you view your presentation. Go to the menu bar and select Slide Show >> Set Up Show
