D. Presentation Slides
Slides in a presentation are similar to pages in a word processing document. All slides and graphics
are saved in one file (example: keys.xppt). Use the PowerPoint file to present the information in the
following ways:

• On-screen slide show: The keys.xppt file displays the slide show on a monitor or computer-
projected large screen.
• Web pages: The keys.xppt file can be saved as Web page and then published on the Web.
• Overhead transparencies: The keys.xppt file can be printed as transparencies (Important:
Make sure the appropriate transparencies are used for your printer model. The wrong type of
transparencies can melt inside your printer.).
• Handouts: The keys.xppt file can print two to nine mini slides per page.

File: Microsoft PowerPoint 2019 Fundamentals Page 7 of 41 November 1, 2019


II. Create Slide Presentation

This section will teach the basics of opening PowerPoint and beginning a presentation.
When PowerPoint is launched the Presentation window will appear.

When creating a new presentation, you have choices about how to proceed. PowerPoint gives you a
range of ways with which to start creating a presentation. You can start your presentation with:

• Blank: Slides that are unformatted and have no color scheme.


• Design: Slide Themes that have design concepts, fonts, and color schemes.
• Template on Microsoft.com: Microsoft Office Templates and Theme Gallery which are
arranged according to type (Click on the File tab, select the New option, and then click on
PowerPoint presentations and slides from the Available Templates and Themes.).

This workshop section will focus on using a Design Theme.

File: Microsoft PowerPoint 2019 Fundamentals Page 8 of 41 November 1, 2019


A. Design Theme
A Theme gives your slides a consistent appearance throughout your presentation. Themes contain
color schemes with custom formatting, styled fonts, and layouts. When you apply a design template
to your presentation, the slide master and color scheme of the template replaces the original blank
slide.

1. Select the Design tab, then on the Theme group, click on the drop-down arrow next to the
last Theme.

2. The All Themes window will appear with available presentation Themes.

3. Hover the mouse pointer over a Theme to preview it.

4. Click on a Theme of your choice.

Note: You can change the Theme during or after the creation of your PowerPoint file.

File: Microsoft PowerPoint 2019 Fundamentals Page 9 of 41 November 1, 2019


B. Add Text

The template for the design Theme you select will determine the font type and text alignment.
PowerPoint places all information (text and graphics) contained on a slide in separate Placeholders.
Placeholders are designated by dotted lines; they appear on a slide as guides, but they will not appear
on the finished presentation. In order to edit text, click once inside of the Text Placeholder and the
insertion point will appear; then begin to type your text.

1. Click in the Title Placeholder and type the text title below.

2. Click in the Subtitle Placeholder.

3. Type the text below (You will need to press the Enter key after each line of text.).

4. Save the presentation. Click on the File tab and then click on Save As. The Save As
window will open. In the File name box, type Keys to Success for the presentation name.
The instructor will indicate where to save the file. Click on the Save button.

File: Microsoft PowerPoint 2019 Fundamentals Page 10 of 41 November 1, 2019


C. Add New Slide
A slide layout defines the placement of text, pictures, tables, and graphs. If you change the layout of
a slide, the text and graphics remain intact. You can resize text and graphic boxes to conform to the
new layout.

1. On the Home ribbon, located in the Slides group, click on the New Slide drop-down arrow.
The Office Theme panel will appear with multiple slide layouts. Select your desired slide
layout.

2. For this exercise, click on the second Layout (Title and Content) in the first row.

3. In the Title Placeholder, type the text Agenda as seen above.

4. In the Text Placeholder, type the bulleted text as seen above (You will need to press Enter
after each line of text.).

5. Add another new slide.

File: Microsoft PowerPoint 2019 Fundamentals Page 11 of 41 November 1, 2019


6. On the Home ribbon, click on the New Slide drop-down arrow and then select the Two
Content slide layout (This slide contains a title, text, and clip art placeholders.).

7. Click inside the Title and Text Placeholders and type the text shown above.

8. On the Quick Access Toolbar, click on the Save button to save your presentation changes.

File: Microsoft PowerPoint 2019 Fundamentals Page 12 of 41 November 1, 2019


III. Editing Techniques
This section will teach you basic techniques for editing slides.

A. View Modes for Editing


The Normal, Slide Sorter, Reading, and Slide Show Views allow you to type, edit, and view
your presentation. To switch between views, click the View Options buttons at
the lower right-hand side of the PowerPoint window.

Normal View
Normal View is the main editing View, which you use to
write and design your presentation. The View has three
working areas: on the left, tabs that alternate between an
outline of your slide text (Outline tab), and your slides
displayed as thumbnails (Slides tab); on the right, the
slide pane, which displays a large view of the current
slide; and on the bottom, the notes pane.

Slide Sorter View

Slide Sorter View is an exclusive view of your slides in


thumbnail form. When you are finished creating and
editing your presentation, Slide Sorter gives you an
overall picture of it — making it easy to reorder, add, or
delete slides, and preview your transition and animation
effects.

Reading View

Reading View is new in PowerPoint 2019. It is similar to


Slide Show View. The difference between the two Views
is that while Slide Show View takes over the whole
screen, the slide in Reading View is shown in full screen,
but you will see the PowerPoint title band at the top of
the screen. The PowerPoint status bar and the Windows
task bar are also displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Slide Show View


Slide Show View takes up the full computer screen, like
an actual slide show presentation. In this full-screen
View, you see your presentation the way your audience
will. You can see how your graphics, timings, movies,
transition effects, and animation elements will look in the
actual show.

File: Microsoft PowerPoint 2019 Fundamentals Page 13 of 41 November 1, 2019


B. Edit Bulleted List
Typing text in PowerPoint is similar to typing in other applications. However, since PowerPoint
deals with bulleted lists, a few keystrokes will be identified to help in typing multiple lines.

1. Confirm you are on slide three.

2. In Normal View, edit the bulleted list to include the circled text above. Place the Insertion
bar after each line of the bulleted text and then press the Enter key.

3. To add a sub-bullet, click on the Increase Indent button, located on the Home ribbon.
The Tab key can also be used to indent text.

4. Type the text and if additional sub-bullets lines are needed press the Enter key, after your
line of text.

Note: Pressing Enter after any text returns the cursor to the same indent (paragraph) level for the
next line. The Tab key is also used before typing to indent text to the next indent level (sub-bullet
point) and pressing Shift+Tab before typing to return to the previous indent level.

File: Microsoft PowerPoint 2019 Fundamentals Page 14 of 41 November 1, 2019


C. Add Pictures

Online Pictures are any type of computerized images such as artwork and photos. You can make
your presentation more eye-catching and entertaining by adding Pictures.

1. Confirm you are on slide three.

2. Click on the Online Pictures button in the Illustration box, located in the Text
Placeholder.

3. The Bing Image Search window will appear.

4. In the Search box, type the word Classroom, and then press the Search icon.
A variety of online images associated with your search will appear.

5. Scroll through the Pictures window to find your desired image.

6. To insert the image, place the mouse pointer on the image and then click on the left mouse
button twice.

Note: When the Illustration box does not appear on a slide, images can still be inserted by
selecting the Insert ribbon and then click on the Online Pictures button.

IV. Slide Masters
PowerPoint has a set of Master Slides available for every Design Theme. The three Masters include
a Slide Master, Handout Master, and Notes Master. Masters correspond directly to the slides.
Masters contain the elements that appear on every slide and control the format for all slides in a
presentation, which provides a consistent appearance for each slide.

A. Edit Slide Master


The Slide Master View is located on the View ribbon. This exercise will demonstrate how to modify
a Slide Master which will affect your entire presentation.
