1. Introduction to PowerPoint
This is an overview to introduce you to some PowerPoint basics.
It will take 5-10 minutes.
Navigate using the buttons to the left.
About the Design Template: The design template used in this presentation was created using PowerPoint tools. The design template has a title master and a slide master and the masters contain the graphics and the buttons which should appear on each slide. Later in the presentation we make changes to individual slides so that they differ from the master.
This slide was created using the Title Slide AutoLayout. The Title Slide AutoLayout is based on the Title Master. The objects that are on the Title Slide Master appear on every slide which uses the Title Slide AutoLayout.
The four buttons you see on this slide are on the Title Master; therefore, they appear on every slide which uses the Title Slide AutoLayout. The buttons were created using PowerPoint’s Action Button AutoShapes. For a softer look, the line setting was set to “no line.” The appropriate actions are assigned to the buttons, for example, the next arrow is set to go to the next slide, the back arrow is set to go to the previous slide. The actions are set using the Action Settings command on the Slide Show menu.
Once the file was completed, it was saved as a PowerPoint Show. A PowerPoint Show has a different file extension (.pps). When you open this type of file, either from within PowerPoint or from your desktop, it will automatically start as a slide show. When there are navigation buttons, PowerPoint will ignore mouse clicks unless they are on the buttons and disable the cursor keys.

This slide again uses the Title Slide AutoLayout. However, a couple of things were then customized.
We elected to not display the default check-mark style bullets. This was accomplished using the Bullets button on the Formatting toolbar. Then blank Action Button AutoShapes were drawn and the settings were set to jump to the appropriate section of the file. The numbers were typed in the AutoShape by simply clicking on the shape and typing and the buttons were rotated to give them a jaunty angle.
In order to set the text to also jump to the appropriate section of the presentation, there were two alternatives. We could have used the Hyperlink tool. However, we did not wish to have the text underlined as in a standard hyperlink so we instead created transparent overlays by drawing rectangles, setting the line and fill to “no line” and “no fill” and then assigning action settings from the Slide Show menu to jump to the appropriate section of the presentation. These transparent overlays sit on top of the bulleted text.

3. Get to know PowerPoint PowerPoint Basics
Each “page” in a presentation is called a slide.
You can have as many slides in your presentation as you need.
This slide uses the Bulleted List AutoLayout. The Bulleted List AutoLayout is based on the Slide Master, so things that appear on the Slide Master will appear on every slide using the Bulleted List AutoLayout (all of the AutoLayouts except the Title AutoLayout are based on the Slide Master).
You may have noticed that the object that is held in the character’s right hand changes in each section of the tutorial. Everything except the right arm is on the Slide Master. The right arm is pasted on each slide. View the slide master to see what actually lives on the master, then compare it to the slides to see what is added to the individual slides.
The character itself was created using PowerPoint drawing tools, notably AutoShapes and line styles. Can you figure out what AutoShape was used to create the character’s legs and feet? Hint: Check out AutoShape Block Arrows.
You may also have noticed that the colors changed. This was done by selecting one of the 9 color schemes which we included with this design template. Color schemes are a set of 8 pre-defined colors that are used for the Title text, text, lines, shadow, background and accents on your slides. If you use the default colors when you type your text or draw objects, those items will change when you select a new color scheme. If you elect to change the color of certain text or drawing objects and you want those colors to stay the same, no matter what color scheme you apply, you should pick colors that are not “Automatic” or color scheme colors. The 8 color scheme colors are always the top 8 color swatches to appear in any of the formatting dialogs.

This slide uses the 2-Column Text AutoLayout and the second column was deleted to make room for the graphics.
Animation is used to “build” the text one bullet point at a time. We selected Custom Animation from the Slide Show menu. The text was built using the Wipe Down effect.
The pictures are also animated, using the Dissolve effect.
The graphics were created using PowerPoint AutoShapes and lines. Various fills were used, including transparent fills, to give the overhead transparencies a see-through look. The objects were grouped together so that the entire object would animate at once.
The computer picture was created using a piece of clip art and grouping it with one of the “slides.”

5. Get to know PowerPoint Views
Views are ways of looking at and working on your presentation.
There are different views to work in…
Normal View
Slide Sorter View
Slide Show View
Move between views by clicking on the View buttons in the lower left part of the PowerPoint window.
Lorem Ipsum
Tincidunt ut
Delor sit amet consectetuer
Nonummy nibh euismod
Magna aliquam
Exerci tation
Nonummy nibh eui 1 2 4 3
Delor sit amet consectetuer adipiscing elit sed diam
This slide uses the 2-Column Text AutoLayout and the text was typed into the two columns.
The pictures were created using PowerPoint’s text and drawing tools. The zoom path is a polygon drawn using the Freeform Line tool. The effect is a Custom Animation effect, set to occur automatically a few seconds after moving to this slide.
This slide has the first Information button. This button was created using the AutoShape Action Buttons again. Rather than jumping to another slide in the presentation, however, it was set to Run Program and the appropriate command was typed to jump to PowerPoint’s Help file and to the topic that corresponds to the information discussed on the slide. Because the information button jumps to a different topic on each slide on which it appears, this button is not part of the slide master, but rather is drawn on each slide so that the settings can be individualized.

We’ve used a series of animation effects to imitate the action of selecting text and over-typing it. The items are all layered on top of each other so that they are almost undetectable when you look at the file. However, if you were to print this slide, you might find the area in which the animations occur unreadable! If you design a file to print, it is sometimes best to avoid this type of animation, or to spread it over multiple slides and printing only those slides which you need to give to your audience. However, this tutorial was designed as an on-screen presentation, so the sky was the limit!
