2. HIT THE PAGE DOWN KEY ON YOUR KEYBOARD TO GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE Let’s Explore Graphic Objects See that picture of a tree over there? It is a graphic object. A graphic object shows its handles when it is activated. You may activate the graphic by clicking on it (a single-click). Go ahead, try it. Now, let’s observe the cursor (the thing you move by moving the mouse). RESIZE-CURSOR: When the cursor sits over a handle it appears as a double-arrow. You use this cursor to move the handle and change the graphic’s size or shape. Try that now. Go ahead and experiment.

3. HIT THE PAGE DOWN KEY ON YOUR KEYBOARD TO GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE Graphic Objects Can Be Moved There is another important cursor shape that is used with graphics. MOVE-CURSOR: The other important cursor looks like a 4-headed arrow. This shape is used to drag the graphic object to a different position. When does this cursor appear? On some objects it appears when the cursor is over the visible part of the graphic. See if you can move the frog over to the lily pad using the move-cursor.

4. HIT THE PAGE DOWN KEY ON YOUR KEYBOARD TO GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE Graphics Can Be Stacked in Layers OH NO! I don’t want my frog to hide! This is an example of graphic objects being stacked in layers. Let’s find out how to fix it. Click on the frog object to activate it. 1.Look for the “Picture Tools - Format“ ribbon, and click it. 2.Look for the section called “Arrange” 3.Click on the command “Bring to Front”

5. HIT THE PAGE DOWN KEY ON YOUR KEYBOARD TO GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE Text Boxes Are Graphic Objects In PowerPoint we often include text in our slides. The primary way of doing this is with a graphic object called a text box. The words that you’re reading now are in a text box. If you click on part of the text, you will activate the object. Go ahead. Do it. See the handles? Now use your resize cursor to change the shape of the object. Text boxes can be fairly smart in PowerPoint. They adjust the size to keep the text visible. What about the move cursor (4-headed arrow)? With a text box, this only appears when the cursor is over the line that connects the handles (but not on the handles). Use the move-cursor to place this text box on the left side.

6. HIT THE PAGE DOWN KEY ON YOUR KEYBOARD TO GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE Rotating Graphic Objects THE ROTATE-CURSOR: In Microsoft Office many graphics display an extra handle when you activate them. It is a green circle above the top middle resize handle. When you put your cursor here it changes into a circular arrow. If you click-and-drag right, left, up and down, you will make the graphic rotate. Ready? Try it!

11. How To Start a Presentation If you start PowerPoint by double-clicking the icon on the desktop (or by single-clicking its icon in the Start Menu or Task Bar), you will have a new, blank presentation. To start a new presentation after PowerPoint is already open, you give the “New” command: In PowerPoint 2003: File > New In PowerPoint 2007: The round Office button (in the upper left corner) > New In PowerPoint 2010: File > New

12. How To Start a Presentation (cont’d) A new presentation starts you out with a Title / Subtitle slide. After you type in the two text boxes, you must add a new slide. NOTE: The most frequently used slide layout in the majority of PowerPoint presentations is the Title and Content layout. After the Title slide is done, when you click on the New Slide command (on the Home ribbon), this is what PowerPoint usually gives you. There are other layouts, though. To use one of them, click on the little downward triangle under the New Slide command.
