Intermediate Power Point
A Little Power Point about Power Point with 10
Quick Tricks
(versions 2000 – 2003)
#1. Hyperlinks!

Any object in PowerPoint can be a “hot spot” for a
hyperlink. Click any of the three items below to see
how to create a hyperlink from them.
Text
#2. Action Buttons!
Action buttons allow you to navigate to
places within your Power Point.
 They also allow you to navigate to places on
your computer.

PowerPoint
Computer
#3. Slide Show Set Up!
Useful for making your slide show “loop.”
 Slide Show | Set Up Show

Select the options that make sense for your
presentation.
 “Loop Continuously until ESC means your show
will complete an infinite loop until you press the
Esc key on your keyboard.
 You can turn off animations in this set up mode
as well.
 Experiment with Presenter View?

#4. Save As JPEG, GIF, etc.!

You can save your PowerPoint slides as
pictures. This is helpful when:
You want someone to see your slides, but they
don’t have PowerPoint.
 You want to use your slides in PhotoStory or
MovieMaker

File | Save As, then select GIF, JPEG or
another file format in the “Save As Type” box.
 Answer the questions as they pop up.

#5. Save As Show!
Most of the time we save our PowerPoints as
“presentations.” These can be opened and
edited by others.
 When you save as a “show” others can view
it, but not edit it.
 File | Save As, then change the “Save As
Type” to PowerPoint Show

#6. Pack and Go / Package for
CD!
Have you ever had music or video attached
to your PowerPoint, but it doesn’t play when
you move it to another computer?
 Have you ever had fonts not carry to another
computer?
 In PPT 2000 use File | Pack and Go
 In PPT 2002 and up, use File | Package for
CD

#7. Slide Master!
Do you want to change the coloring and font
for your whole document?
 Do you want a picture to show up on every
slide?
 View | Master | Slide Master


Make any changes you want (these will be on
every slide) then click “close master view” on the
master view toolbar.
#8. Control Toolbox!
To have an interactive slide where you can
type information or have a “form” to fill out…
 Click View | Toolbars | Control Toolbox
 Use the buttons on the toolbar to insert
interactive items like the one below.

Type in this box!
Some of the buttons must be edited using Visual Basic Programming.
If it’s not your cup of tea, fine. I think the “text box” tool is great.
#9. Rehearse Timings!
If you’ve got a show that needs to be
automated or you want it to sync with music
or voice-overs, use this tool.
 Slide Show | Rehearse Timings

You may want to record narrations
or insert your music prior to using
this tool. To record narrations, go
to Slide Show | Record Narration
#10. Design Templates Online!
Microsoft has TONS of free templates online
that can be downloaded and used in your
PowerPoints.
 CLICK HERE to see the templates.
 To use the templates, download them, then
choose File | Save-As, change the “save as
type” to Template.
 The next time you open PowerPoint, this
template will show up in your design
templates.

#11. BONUS! Insert
PhotoAlbum
Have you ever just wanted to insert a bunch
of pictures into your PowerPoint at once?
 Create a folder on your computer with the
pictures you want to include.
 Insert | Picture | New Photo Album

Follow the steps and find your folder on your
computer.
 You have many choice as to the look and feel of
these slides.

Only possible in versions
From 2002 and up.
