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.
