Create your slides
This is a glimpse of
the PowerPoint
window.
This lesson will give
you an introduction to
the window and help
you feel comfortable
working there.
You’ll also see how to add new slides, choose a layout
for a slide, and add text as well as reuse slides from
another presentation.
Finally, you’ll find out how to prepare notes as you
create the show, to refer to when you present.

Get to know your workspace
This is the view that
first opens in
PowerPoint. It’s called
Normal view.
You work here to
create slides.

The slide pane is the big area in the middle. You work
directly on the slide in this space.
On the slide, the boxes with the dotted borders are
called placeholders. Here’s where you type your
text, insert art, or add other content.
There are three main areas of Normal view.

On the left are small, or thumbnail, versions of the
slides in your presentation, with the one you’re working
on highlighted. This area is the Slides tab.

Add new slides
When PowerPoint
opens, there’s only
one slide in the show.
You add the other
slides.
The most obvious way to add a new slide is by clicking
New Slide on the Home tab, as the picture shows.

Add new slides
When PowerPoint
You add the other
slides.
There are two ways to use the New Slide button:
1 If you click the top part of the button, where the slide
icon is, a new slide is immediately added beneath the
slide that’s selected on the Slides tab.

Add new slides
When PowerPoint
You add the other
slides.
There are two ways to use the New Slide button:
2 If you click the bottom part of the button, you get a
gallery of layouts for the slide. You choose a layout, and
the slide is inserted with that layout.

Add new slides
If you add a slide
without choosing a
layout, PowerPoint
applies one
automatically.
You can change it if you want: Right-click the slide that
has the layout you want to replace, and then point to
Layout.

Pick layouts for slides
A slide layout
arranges your slide
content.
For example, you may
want both a list and a
picture on the slide, or
a picture and a
caption.
Layouts contain different types of placeholders and
placeholder arrangements to support whatever your
content is.

The picture shows the
layouts that
PowerPoint starts with
automatically.

The Title Slide layout, shown here as it looks in the
layouts gallery, is applied to the first slide in the show
(the one that’s already there when you start).
On the slide, the Title Slide layout contains placeholders
for a title and subtitle.

layouts that
PowerPoint starts with
automatically.
The layout you’ll probably use the most for other slides is
called Title and Content, shown here as it looks in the
layouts gallery.
3
4 On the slide, this layout has a placeholder for the slide
title, and a second, all-purpose placeholder that contains
text as well as several icons.

Type your text
In the all-purpose
placeholder shown
previously, you can
add graphic elements
or text.
Let’s talk about text.
1
2
You can use different levels of text within bulleted lists to
make minor points under major points.
On the Ribbon, use commands in the Font group to
change character formatting, such as font color and size.
The default formatting for text is a bulleted list.

3 Use commands in the Paragraph group to change
paragraph formatting, such as list formatting, text
indentation, and line spacing.
The default formatting for text is a bulleted list.

Insert slides from another presentation
You may need to use
slides from an existing
presentation in your
show.
Here’s how to do it.

On the Home tab, click the arrow next to New Slide, as
if you were going to insert a new slide and choose a
layout for it first.
Below the layout gallery, click Reuse Slides.

You may need to use
show.
This is how to do it.
3 In the Reuse Slides task pane, under Insert slide
from, click Browse to find the presentation or slide
library that has the slides you want. Then click the arrow
to open those slides in the task pane.

You may need to use
show.
When you find the slide you want, take notice of the
Keep source formatting check box at the very bottom
of the pane. If you want to retain the exact look of the
slides you’re inserting, be sure this check box is selected
before you insert the slide.
4

You may need to use
show.
Click each slide you want to insert. Each one is copied
into the open presentation, below the currently selected
slide or below your cursor, if you’ve positioned it beneath
a slide thumbnail.
5

Create speaker notes
Use speaker notes to
elaborate on the
points on a slide.
Good notes can help
you keep your
audience engaged
and prevent text
overload on the slide.

As you develop the content on your slides, type your
notes in the notes pane, below the slide.
You can enlarge the notes pane so that it’s easier to
work in by dragging the split bar.

3 Your notes are saved in a notes page, which contains a
copy of the slide along with the notes. This is the page
you print to refer to as you give the presentation.

Suggestions for practice
1. Get familiar with the areas of the PowerPoint window.
2. Type text.
3. Add new slides.
4. Navigate and add more text.
5. Use text indents and formatting.

Online practice (requires PowerPoint 2007)

Lesson 2
Choose a theme, add more
content

Choose a theme, add more content
As a color scheme for
your
presentation, basic
black will do the job.
But how about when
you’re in the mood for
more color and a
vibrant design?
Go straight to the PowerPoint themes gallery and try
out what’s there. Choosing a theme is no harder than
flipping a switch.
You can also put other elements on your slides, such
as pictures and captions, then handily align them so
that everything is neatly arranged.

The beauty of themes
Every presentation
has a theme.
Some are just more
colorful than others.
The theme determines the look and colors of your slides
and gives your presentation a consistent appearance.
Here, you see three title slides that have the same
content but that use different themes.

Every presentation
has a theme.
Some are just more
colorful than others.
A theme includes these elements, offered as a package:
• Background design
• Color scheme
• Font types and sizes
• Placeholder positions

The color scheme
affects background
colors, font colors, fill
colors for
shapes, border
colors, hyperlinks, and
slide elements like
tables and charts.
And if you have placeholders, the theme honors the
layout you’ve chosen; it just moves things around a little.

Choose a theme
Every new
presentation starts out
with the default
theme, called Office
Theme.
To find and apply
another one, start by
clicking the Design
tab on the Ribbon.
1
2
Theme samples, in the form of the small thumbnails you
see here, will show in the Themes group.
To see additional themes, click the More button on the
right of the group.

Every new
presentation starts out

another one, start by
clicking the Design
tab on the Ribbon.
3 When you point to any theme thumbnail, a preview of it
is shown on the slide.
Click a thumbnail to apply that theme to all your slides.
You can also apply the theme only to the slides you
have selected.

Insert pictures and things, part 1
Now you’ll learn two
methods for inserting
pictures and other
non-text items into
slides.
The first method is to click an icon in a
placeholder, which you got a glimpse of in the first
lesson.

pictures and other
non-text items into
slides.

Click the Clip Art icon in the placeholder.
The Clip Art task pane opens. There, type a keyword in
the Search for box that suggests the sort of clip you
want. Then click Go.
The picture illustrates how to insert a piece of clip art:

non-text items into
slides.

Clips appear that fit the keyword. Click one of them to
insert it into the slide. The picture is automatically sized
and positioned within the placeholder.

Another way to insert
slide items is to use
the Insert tab on the
Ribbon.
All of the things you could insert from the slide pane are
also available on the Insert tab, plus more—including
shapes, hyperlinks, text boxes, headers and footers, and
media clips such as sounds.

array of things
available on the Insert
tab.
A typical thing to insert
is a text box, as
shown.
1
2
Text boxes are handy when you want to add text
somewhere and need another placeholder for it, such as
for a picture caption. On the Insert tab, click Text Box.
Draw the box on the slide and type in it.

What’s the better
method?
Since you have two
choices for how to
insert some
things, which one is
recommended?
It mostly comes down to what you find handiest. One
thing to consider is how you want the inserted item to be
positioned on the slide.

Edit slide elements
After inserting a
picture, you may want
to make adjustments
such as
resizing, cropping, or
changing the
brightness.
Use Picture Tools for
this.
1
2
So, select the picture.
Picture Tools appear above the Ribbon. Use options on
the Format tab to work with the picture.
Picture Tools are available when the picture is selected.

Edit slide elements
There are tools for the
range of things you
can insert, from
tables, charts, and
SmartArt™ graphics to
text boxes and
shapes, sounds, and
videos.
Just select the inserted item to see the relevant tab on
the Ribbon.

Arrange slide elements
Once you’ve put all
the things that you
want on the slide, you
need to align them so
they look just right.
For example, in this picture, the text box with the caption
will look best once it’s aligned evenly with the picture—
either flush left, or correctly centered.

Arrange slide elements
You use the Arrange
commands to align
slide elements.
1

3
To align the caption so it’s flush left with the picture, first
select both placeholders.
In Picture Tools, find the Arrange group on the Format
tab.
Click the Align button, and then click Align Left.

1. Choose a new theme.
2. Insert a picture.
3. Resize the picture.
4. Add a caption.
5. Align the picture and caption.
6. Bonus: Add an animation effect.

Lesson 3
Proof, print, and prep for the show

Proof, print, and prep for the show
You’ve learned the
essentials for creating
a slide show.
Now imagine that your
presentation is
ready, and you want to
prepare to present it.
You’ll need to preview it, run a spelling check, get input
from others, and check your handouts and notes
before printing them.
Then you can use the PowerPoint packaging feature
to place your presentation on a CD or on the computer
you’ll use to present.

Preview on your computer
As you create a
show, you can preview
it at any time in Slide
Show view.
This view gives you an
idea of how the slides
will look and behave
when projected.

To open Slide Show view, click the Slide Show tab, and
click a command in the Start Slide Show group—to
start on the first slide or current slide.
Slide Show view fills your computer screen.

As you create a
show, you can preview
it at any time in Slide
Show view.
This view gives you an
idea of how the slides
will look and behave
when projected.
3 One way to navigate from slide to slide is to use the
Slide Show toolbar, at the bottom-left of the screen.
To get out of Slide Show view at any point, press ESC.
This returns you to the view you left, which is typically
Normal view.

• Press F5 to start on the first slide.
• Press SHIFT+F5 to start on the current slide.
Here are some other ways to open Slide Show view:
When you do this, the show begins on the slide that’s currently
selected on the Slides tab.
• Click the Slide Show button in the lower-right portion of the
PowerPoint window, next to the Zoom slider.
• Click the Slide Show button on the View tab. The show begins on
the first slide no matter which slide is currently selected.

Check spelling, send for comments
Before you
present, you’ll want to
weed out spelling
errors and find any
other goofs and gaps.
Go to the Review tab on the Ribbon to run a spelling
check.
The Review tab is also where others can go to add
comments as they review your slides.

Before you
weed out spelling
errors and find any
Once you’re on the Review tab, do as the picture
shows:
1 In the Proofing group, click Spelling, and make
selections as the spelling checker moves through your
slides.

errors and find any
Once you’re on the Review tab, do as the picture
shows:
2 You might also want to have others review the
presentation and make comments before you present.
You’ll find the New Comment command in the
Comments group, also on the Review tab.

Print handouts
The most common
type of PowerPoint
printout for audiences
is called a handout.
Handouts can have
one or several slides
per page, up to nine.
A good practice is to use Print Preview to select the
handout type you want, as shown here. That way you
can see how the handout will look before printing.

Print handouts
To print
handouts, start by
clicking Print Preview
on the menu that
opens when you click
the Microsoft Office
Button .

In Print Preview, click the arrow in the Print What box
to display the list of handout types.
Choose the handout type you want.
Then follow the steps
shown in the picture.

Print handouts
To print
handouts, start by
clicking Print Preview
on the menu that
opens when you click
the Microsoft Office
Button .
When you click the handout type, you’re shown a
preview of how your slides will look when printed in that
format. You can navigate through all the handout pages.
The handout type with the 3 slides per page option also
includes lines for audience notes.

When you’re ready to print, click Print.

Print speaker notes
You’ve printed
handouts to give to
your audience.
Now print speaker
notes for
yourself, which you
can refer to as you
present.
It’s a good practice to look at your speaker notes before
you print them, to see if they look as you’re expecting
them to.

Print speaker notes
To print speaker
notes, click the
Microsoft Office
Button, point to
Print, and then click
Print Preview.
1

Select Notes Pages in the Print What list.
Your notes pages are shown in the preview
window, starting with the first slide (unless you specify
otherwise).

Print speaker notes
If something isn’t formatted as you’d intended, or if note
text has been cut off, make the necessary adjustments
either in Notes Page view or in Normal view.
After you’ve checked your notes and you’re ready to
print, click Print.
To print speaker
notes, click the
Microsoft Office
Button, point to
Print, and then click
Print Preview.

Add footer text to handouts and notes
Print Preview also
affords you the chance
to add or adjust
footers in your
handouts and notes.
By default, printed handouts and notes have page
numbers.
But they can show other things, such as footer text.

Follow these steps if
you want your
printouts to show
other content.
1
2
Click Options, and then click Header and Footer.
To show footer text, such as “Draft” or “Confidential,”
select the Footer option, and then type the text you want
in the box.

Follow these steps if
you want your
printouts to show
other content.
The selections you make on the Notes and Handouts
tab in the Header and Footer dialog box apply to your
handouts and your notes pages.

Color options for printing
Depending on what
kind of printer you’re
using, you can print
your presentation in
Color, Grayscale, or
Pure Black and White.
Here’s how to select an option for printing:
1 Under Print Preview, click Options, and point to
Color/Grayscale. Then select from the menu. Your
slides will be previewed and printed with that choice
applied.

Depending on what
The first preview example shows a slide that will be
printed in color.

3 The second preview example shows a slide that will be
printed in grayscale.

Depending on what
The last preview example shows a slide that will be
printed in pure black and white.

Package the presentation
The PowerPoint
Package for CD
feature bundles your
presentation file and
any other files you
need and copies them
into one folder or
directly to a CD.
If you copy your files to a folder, you can burn the folder
to a CD later.
You can also copy the files to a network server that you
have access to from your presenting computer.

The picture shows
how to package your
presentation and
related files.
1 Click the Microsoft Office Button.
Point to Publish, and click Package for CD.
In the dialog box that opens, make selections for what
you want to be included in the package, and copy your
file or files to either a folder or a CD.

The picture shows
how to package your
presentation and
related files.
Important: Always save your presentation before
packaging it to a folder or CD.

• To package and then copy to a CD from PowerPoint, you must be
running Microsoft Windows® XP or later on your computer, and you
must have a CD burner.
• If you’re running Microsoft Windows 2000, you can still use this
feature to package the presentation files to a folder, and then use a
third-party program to burn the folder to a CD.
