Navigating
the application for creating slide presentations
This
application uses slides for building the presentations. For creating engaging
presentations, this application allows the user to add text, images, bullets,
videos, and charts to the slides. Users can include as many slides as per their
needs and choice. At any point, users can play or view the presentation. For
this, they require selecting a slide and click on the play option.
Choosing
between templates and blank presentations
While
starting a new PowerPoint file, either you can create a template or a blank
presentation. Blank presentations enable users to apply some unique style.
However, it takes excessive time. Though templates give a uniform styling to
the presentations, however, it may not match the exact needs.
You can
apply given themes to the presentations, either before adding content or after
the contents gets included. You require clicking on the design tab for
selecting a theme. Upon selection, the theme gets applied to the project
automatically. In case you want to change the theme or get back to a blank
theme, you can even do that at a later stage, pressing the Control + Z command.
Users can
access the templates through the File tab. You need to click on the new tab and
subsequently browse the templates available. You can even download varieties of
resources from online sources.
How to
design the title slides?
The title is
the first thing that your views will notice. Readers should read the documents
easily and it must produce an overview on the topic. Remember, you need to make
the titles engaging so that you can retain the attention of the readers.
Steps for
adding content slides
For the new
slides, you need pressing the Control +M command. This will add a new slide,
just after the one you are currently working.
The new
slide will feature boxes for the title as well as the content. You can either
select from available options or you can insert some unique objects. You need
to do this using the insert tab.
To add text
to the content box, you need to click & drag to adjust the size. You can
adjust the size at a later stage by grabbing either of the corners and
subsequently dragging and clicking.
You can
click on the text box and initiate typing content to the presentations. Text
can get formatted in a style similar to that in words. The home tab has got
formatting options.
This is a
wonderful application that has been assisting users to design effective and
engaging presentations. Using this application, you can develop quality
presentations that will convey your messages in the most impacting style. Once
you adopt the simple steps, development of the presentations will take few
minutes to produce the best resources for your presentation events.
