Edit Using Slide Pane
Slide contains “Objects” or placeholders for objects
To Modify text in object, must select placeholders – as
with cells in Excel
Placeholders have sizing handles that allow re-sizing
Placeholders can be moved – find four direction arrow
at edge of placeholder and drag
Move from slide to slide using vertical scroll bar, scroll
arrows, or clicking on slide in outline pane
Promote, Demote, and move items, as in outline pane
PowerPoint AutoSizes to fit placeholder

arrow, down arrow, page down, or click
mouse
Go to previous slide with backspace, left
arrow, up arrow, page up
Black screen indicates end of presentation
Fonts
Text style, as in other programs
Best to use no more than 3 or 4 different
fonts in one presentation so as to not
distract audience
Can adjust font size, as in other programs –
tend to use large size for visibility
Bump up size with big A button, bump
down size with little A button

Change Design Template
Change applies to all slides in the
presentation
Choose Common Tasks/ Apply Design
Template
Make Choice (choices are previewed)
Check for graphics interfering with text
after change
Change Color Scheme
Templates have alternative color schemes
Choose Format / Slide Color Scheme
Pick one of the standard alternatives and
preview, apply or apply to all
OR build custom scheme, picking color for
each kind of thing – titles, backgrounds, etc
Apply changes to one or all (generally all,
for consistency)
Slide and Title Master
Master is a special pseudo “slide” that controls
format and placement of titles and text for all
slides in presentation
Each component (title slide, slides, notes pages,
handout pages) has a corresponding master
Any changes you make to the master apply to all
slides or pages associated with that master
Slide and Title Master (con)
You could put a graphic (e.g. company logo) on
slide master and it would appear on every slide
Each design template has its own masters,
changing the design template loses changes you
made to the master
If you change format on individual slides, that
change overrides the master (on that slide)
Slide and Title Master (con)
Display using View/Master /which master
(e.g. Slide Master)
Make changes
Changing Title Master is basically the same
I see no benefit of changing the title master
instead of the title slide
Hiding a Slide
Slides can be hidden so they can be shown
if needed, but otherwise not shown
Use Slide Sorter View
Click on Hide Slide button on slide sorter
tool bar (this is a toggle)
Press letter H to see hidden slide
Creating a Drawing Object
AutoShapes has many shapes
Rectangle, oval, arrows, etc on drawing
toolbar can be used
Many enhancements can be made, adding
text, changing colors, adding shadows,
rotating objects …
Animations and Sound
Animation adds action to text and graphics
so that they move around on the screen
Sound effects can be added as well
To animate object, right click on it, choose
Custom Animation; choose Effects tab
Choose an Effect, Sound, what happens
after animation, etc
Transitions
Transitions control how one slide disappears and
the next one appears
In slide sorter view, select a slide, click slide
transition button on far left of slide sorter toolbar
Select transition effect, sound
Can be applied to one slide or all
Don’t overuse – want audience to focus on
content, not effects
Builds
Builds are used to display each bullet point,
paragraph or graphic independently from the
whole of the slide (e.g. one at a time)
In Slide Sorter, select slides to have build effects
Choose Preset Animation in drop down box on
slide sorter toolbar (second box from left)
Don’t overuse – want audience to focus on
content, not effects
Controlling Presentation
When viewing slide show, type number and
hit return to go directly to that slide number
B – toggles screen to black or back
To Draw on slide, Right Click, Pointer
Options, Pen (Turn off by choosing Pointer
Options/Automatic)
