1 Using the Outline Tab When you are creating a presentation, entering text in Outline View allows you to concentrate on the content and not be distracted by formatting, graphics and layout. 1. Select the VIEW tab. 2. Click Outline View in the Presentation Views group. 3. In the Outline pane, position the cursor where text is to be entered or edited. 1. To close the Outline pane, select the VIEW tab and click Normal in the Presentation Views group. Adding Slides and Bullets in Outline View Pressing [Enter] after a Title gives you a new slide. Pressing [Ctrl] [Enter] after a Title gives you a bullet point. Pressing [Enter] after a bullet point gives you a new bullet. Pressing [Ctrl] [Enter] after a bullet point gives you a new slide. Expanding & Collapsing Slide Content 1. In the Outline pane, hold the mouse pointer over the slide icon. Ensure its shape changes to a chunky, four-headed arrow. 2. Double-click to collapse the slide content. 3. Double-click the slide icon again to expand the outline and display the detail. 1. Right click over a slide title in the Outline Pane. 2. Select Collapse or Expand from the shortcut menu. Moving Slides and Bullet Points 1. In the Outline pane, hold the mouse pointer over the slide icon or a bullet. Ensure its shape changes to a chunky, four-headed arrow. 2. Click and drag up or down to move the entire slide or just the bullet. 1. Right click over a slide title or bullet point in the Outline Pane. 2. Select Move Up or Move Down from the shortcut menu. TIP: Collapsing a slide before moving it makes the task easier. TIP: Select multiple bullet points to move them simultaneously, Promoting and Demoting Bullet Points 1. In the Outline pane, hold the mouse pointer over a bullet. Ensure its shape changes to a chunky, four-headed arrow. 2. Click and drag to the right (to demote) or to the left (to promote). 1. Right click over a bullet point. 2. Select Collapse or Expand from the shortcut menu. NOTE: If you demote a slide title, it becomes a bullet point. If you promote a slide title, it becomes a new slide TIP: Select multiple bullet points to promote or demote them simultaneously, Editing Multiple Presentations Import Slides from Other Presentations You may want to use slides from another presentation or even create a presentation using slides taken from several other presentations. Slides imported into a presentation take on the current Theme although paste options gives alternatives. There are three ways to import slides into a presentation: 1. Use cut or copy and paste 2. Use the Thumbnails Pane or Slide Sorter view and drag and drop slides from one presentation to another 3. Use the Reuse Slides Task Pane. Using Cut or Copy and Paste 1. In the Thumbnails Pane, right click the slide you want to cut or copy. 2. Select Cut or Copy in the shortcut menu. 3. Switch to (or open) the presentation you want to copy the slides to. 4. In the Thumbnails Pane, right click over the slide where you want to insert the new one. 5. Click a paste option. TIP: You can select several slides by holding down the CTRL key and clicking on the required slides. If the slides you want to select are consecutive, click the first slide, hold down the SHIFT key and click on the last slide to be selected. Using the Thumbnails Pane or Slide Sorter View You can use the Slide Sorter if you want to use the cut or copy and paste method to import slides. you can drag-and-drop to copy slides in the Thumbnail Pane or in Slide Sorter view. 1. Make sure that you have open only the two presentations that you want to work with - the one where the slides are being copied from, 1 and the one where they are being copied to. 2. Select the VIEW tab. 3. Click Arrange All in the Window group. 4. Ensure that the two presentations are either in Normal View or Slide Sorter View. 5. Activate (click onto) the presentation containing the slides you want to copy. 6. Select the slide or slides. TIP: You can select several slides by holding down the CTRL key and clicking on the required slides. If the slides you want to select are consecutive, click the first slide, hold down the SHIFT key and click on the last slide to be selected. 7. Drag the slide(s) to the other presentation. If you are in Normal View, drop the slides in the Thumbnails Pane, using the horizontal red line as a guide. If you are in Slide Sorter View, drop the slides using the horizontal red line as a guide. Using Reuse Slides 1. Select the slide where you want to copy the new slide(s). 2. Select the HOME or INSERT tab. 3. Click the lower half of the New Slide command in the Slides group. 4. Select Reuse Slides from the menu at the bottom. 5. In the Task Pane, click the Browse button. 6. Select Browse File. 7. Navigate to and open the presentation containing the slide(s) you want to copy. 8. Click the required slide(s) in the Task Pane. NOTE: There is a check box at the bottom of the Task Pane if you wish to retain the source file formatting.

2 Splitting a Presentation into Sections You can use Sections to organise your slides. For example, you can use sections to keep track of groups of slides or, you can assign sections to colleagues to make ownership clear during collaboration. You can view sections in Normal View but Slide Sorter View tends to show them more clearly. Add and name a section 1. In the Thumbnail Pane of Normal view or in Slide Sorter view, right-click between the two slides where you want to start a section. Right click here 2. Click Add Section. Renaming a section 1. Right-click the Untitled Section marker. 2. Click Rename Section. 3. Enter a name for the section. 4. Click Rename. Moving a section 1. Right-click the section that you want to move, and then select Move Section Up or Move Section Down. Removing a section 1. Right-click the section that you want to remove. 2. Select Remove Section. Creating a Table You can create a table directly in PowerPoint or, you can copy and paste one from Word or even Excel. 1. Add a new Title and Content slide to your presentation. 2. Click Table in the group of six icons at the centre of the slide. 3. Enter the number of columns and rows for the table. 4. Click OK. 5. Click and drag the table border to the required height and/or width using the sizing handles in the corners or along the centre of the edges. Examples of sizing handles on a table border 1. Add a Title Only or Blank slide layout to the presentation or, navigate to and select an existing slide that you want to add a table to. 2. Click the Insert Table command in the Tables group of the Insert tab. 3. Move the mouse pointer over the required number of rows and columns. Live Preview shows you the resulting table directly on the slide. 4. When the required number of rows and columns are highlighted with an orange border, click the mouse button. 5. Click and drag the table border to the required height and/or width using methods described previously. Importing Tables from Word or Excel These can be copied from their respective programmes and pasted onto a slide. The file containing the data that you copy is referred to as the source and the presentation that you are pasting the data into is referred to as the destination. When you copy and paste data into a PowerPoint presentation, it is converted to a PowerPoint table and can then be edited as though it had been created in PowerPoint. Paste Options, however, allows you to change the manner in which the table is pasted, for example, you may wish to just paste it as a static picture. the table. 5. Right-click a BLANK part of the slide. 6. Select a Paste Options (usually Use Destination Style) 7. The data table is pasted into the centre of the slide. It can then be moved, resized or formatted as required. Importing Tables from Word or Excel with a Link You can use Paste Special to create a link to the original table in Word or Excel, so that when it is edited and saved, the copied version in the presentation will also update. 1. Open the Word document or Excel workbook containing the table or spreadsheet that you want to copy. 2. Select the data you want to copy with a link to your PowerPoint slide. 3. Activate PowerPoint and select the slide where you want to paste link the table. 4. Click the lower half of the Paste command in the Clipboard group of the Home tab. 5. Click Paste Special...at the bottom. 6. Select the Paste Link option at the left of the dialog box. 7. Ensure Microsoft Office Word Object or Microsoft Office Excel Object is selected in the As: list box. 8. Click OK. Updating Links to Source Files Linked data from Word or Excel is updated when the PowerPoint presentation containing it is opened. A message appears asking whether you want to update the data or not. In most cases, the response will be Update Links. Using Tables Tables can be used on your slides to present information organised into columns and rows (max. 75 columns & 75 rows). 1. Open the Word document or Excel workbook containing the table or spreadsheet that you want to copy. 2. Select the data you want to copy to your PowerPoint slide. 3. Copy the data from the source file. 4. Activate PowerPoint and select the slide where you want to paste 2

Advanced Masters Using Multiple Masters in a Presentation It is possible to create multiple masters in a presentation. This can be useful when you have several sections to a presentation and you want each section to have a different style. For example, a presentation about three products could have three sets of masters; each set using the colours and logo of the products. Rename Master. 7. Type a name for the new master. 8. Click Rename. 9. Repeat steps 2 to 8 above to create more new slide masters, if required. 10. Click Close Master View. 11. Select the HOME or INSERT tab. 12. Click the lower half of the Insert Slide command. 13. Click the required slide layout from the different groups of master. Customizing Layouts Slide layouts define containers, positioning, and formatting for all of the content that appears on a slide. PowerPoint comes with nine built-in layouts but you can also create your own ones for ensuring a consistent look to more complex slides. 1. Select the VIEW tab on the Ribbon. 2. Click Slide Master in the Master Views group. 3. Click Insert Layout in the Edit Master group. 4. To modify the layout, do one or more of the following: a) Remove any unwanted footers by clicking the border of the placeholder and pressing Delete on the keyboard. b) To add a placeholder, do the following: i) On the Slide Master tab, in the Master Layout group, click Insert Placeholder, and then select a placeholder type from the list. ii) Click and drag over the layout where you want to position the placeholder. iii) Continue adding placeholders in a similar manner. The picture below shows a two text and two chart custom layout. Presentation with different slide master for each section 1. Select the VIEW tab. 2. Click Slide Master in the Master Views group. 3. In the Edit Master group, click Insert Slide Master. 4. A new slide master is displayed at the bottom of the thumbnails pane. The push pin indicates that the new master is preserved (ie. it will not get deleted if not used on any slides). 5. Follow techniques given in the Slide Master topic of the PowerPoint Level 1 (Introduction) Quick Reference Guide to format and structure the new slide master. 6. Right click the new Custom Design Slide Master and select New Slide command showing three masters Editing and deleting multiple masters In Slide Master View, you can delete a slide master by selecting it and then selecting the Delete Master button on the Slide Master View tab (Edit Master group) or by right-clicking the master thumbnail and selecting the Delete Master command. You can change the master being used on existing slides by clicking the Layout command in the Slides group of the HOME tab In the thumbnails pane at the left of the screen, right-click the new layout and select Rename Layout. 6. Type a name that describes the new layout you've just created. 7. Click Rename. 8. Select the Slide Master tab, if necessary. 9. Click Close Master View. Use the custom layout in your presentation as necessary by selecting it from the New Slide command in the HOME tab. Edit the custom layout by opening slide master view and selecting the

5 layout in from the thumbnails pane at the left of the screen. Saving a Presentation Template A presentation template contains more than just the look of the slides (ie. colours, fonts, logo, graphics, etc.). It also contains ready-made slides containing dummy text that users can replace with their own, and also perhaps charts, diagrams and tables that can be edited with different data. By providing presentations templates for your colleagues to use, you can ensure a more consistent look to the actual content of the presentations, as well as a style. To save just the style of a presentation (the Theme), see Saving a Theme on page 3 of this document. 1. Start with a blank presentation. 2. Customise the presentation s style by working with Themes and masters as described in previous sections of this document or, as described in the Slide Master topic of our PowerPoint Level 1 (Introduction) Quick Reference Guide. 3. Add slides to the presentation as necessary containing dummy text, graphs, tables and diagrams etc. 4. When completed, select the FILE tab. 5. Click Export at the left. 6. Click Change File Type. 7. Select Template (*.potx) at the right. 8. Click Save As. 9. Enter a name for the template and navigate to a location for storing it on your computer system. 10. Click Save. To open the template correctly (ie. so that it can t be over-written but must be saved as ), double click it from its location. To edit the template itself, use the FILE > Open command in PowerPoint. Editing & Importing Charts Editing Charts Editing the chart data and/or modifying its structure and look is achieved by using one or more of the following: a) The Chart Tools contextual tabs on the Ribbon (Design & Format). b) The three icons at the right of the chart. c) Right-clicking over part of the chart to make the shortcut menu and Mini Toolbar appear. Common Chart Editing Tasks Changing the chart type Editing the chart data Add/Remove Axis Titles Add data labels Modify the look and structure of a chart using built-in styles Change fonts for individual parts of the chart Right-click anywhere over the chart (except a series) and use the Change Chart Type command.

Using Organization Charts/Diagrams PowerPoint comes with a choice of over 200 ready-made diagrams called SmartArt. Dozens more can be downloaded from the Microsoft

6 website (Office.com). Using SmartArt is a quick and easy way to create professional looking models, figures, charts and drawings to put across concepts and ideas in a graphical way. 1. Select the INSERT tab. 2. Click SmartArt in the Illustrations group. 3. Search for and select the required SmartArt graphic. 4. Click OK. 5. Click [Text] in the Text pane at the left and type your text or, type directly into the relevant shape. If the Text pane is not visible, click Text Pane at the left of the Design tab under SMARTART TOOLS.. Adding & Deleting SmartArt Shapes 1. Click the SmartArt graphic that you want to add another shape to. 2. Click an existing shape that is located closest to where you want to add the new shape. 3. Select the Design tab under SMARTART TOOLS. 4. Click the lower half of the Add Shape command in the Create Graphic group. The options available in this command will depend on the type of layout and/or shape that you are adding. 5. Click the relevant command. Delete a Shape To delete a shape from your SmartArt graphic, click the shape you want to delete, and then press Delete on the keyboard. To delete your entire SmartArt graphic, click the border of your SmartArt graphic, and then press Delete on the keyboard. Formatting SmartArt Use the Design and Layout tabs under SMARTART TOOLS to modify the structure and appearance of the graphic objects. In general: 1. Use the Design tab to add and move shapes, and apply readymade formats to the entire graphic. 2. Use the Format tab to select individual shapes on the graphic and edit them using ready-made styles, layer them and adjust their size, or use your own, custom formatting. 3. Use the HOME tab to modify text fonts, bullets and paragraph layout. Adding Special Slide Show Effects To add the finishing touch to a presentation, you can include animation. Animation in PowerPoint can added to the slide contents (eg. to introduce bullets points or chart objects individually) or, added to ensure smooth changes between slides in a slide show (transition effects). Transition effects are covered in our PowerPoint Level 1 (Introduction) Quick Reference Guide. Animating Text and Objects Animations come in three main groups: Entrance - happens when the object first appears on the slide. Emphasis - happens when the object is already on the slide and you want to bring attention to it. Exit - happens when the object is already on the slide and you want it to disappear. You can use any of the above-mentioned effects individually, or use them consecutively. Multiple effects are good to use in a timed presentation where effective visual impact is necessary to keep the audience interested and focussed. In a speaker-led presentation, however, keep mainly to entrance effects only. Animation can be On Click or automatic (With previous or After previous). On Click is generally used in a speaker-led presentation where the onus is on the presenter to advance to the next bullet point, chart object or diagram shape. Automatic animation is more commonly used in timed presentations although that does not mean automatic animation cannot be used very effectively on speaker-led presentations Select the first text placeholder, chart, table or shape that you want to animate. 2. Select the ANIMATIONS tab. 3. Select an animation effect in the Animation gallery. The animation effect will immediately preview on the slide and numbers appear next to the object indicating the order in which the animation occurs in relation to other animated objects on the current slide. To introduce an object onto the slide, select from the Entrance group of icons. To draw attention to an object already on the slide, use the Emphasis effect group of icons To remove an object from a slide, use the Exit group of icons. 3. To see all animation groups fully, click the More button at the bottom right of the animation gallery. 4. Click Effect Options, if desired, to modify the effect. The image on this button and options available will vary depending on the animation chosen. Some animation offers no options. Also, with objects that consist of multiple elements (eg. bullet point placeholders, charts and SmartArt), the Effects Options command offers Sequence settings. These determine how the different elements of the object are animated. Select a setting and the automatic preview will show you the resulting. Sequence settings will vary depending on the object being animated. In the case of charts, you can introduce the various elements in up to five different ways! 5. In the Timing group, select from the Start: drop-down list when you want the effect to happen. On Click - the effect starts when the presenter clicks the slide. With Previous the effect starts automatically at the same time as the previous event (the last thing to happen) The previous event could be the slide appearing, another object coming onto the slide, or a media clip starting to play. After Previous the effect starts automatically immediately after the previous event. 6. In the Duration: box, enter how long you would like the animation effect to last. The measurement unit is seconds (eg. 01:50 = oneand-a-half seconds). In the Delay: box, enter how long after the start setting you want the animation to commence. For example, if you set the Start box to After Previous, Delay is how long after the previous event this one will automatically start. If you set the Start box to On Click, Delay is how long after the presenter clicks the slide this one automatically starts. The measurement unit is seconds (eg. 01:50 = one-and-a-half seconds). 7. Test each animation effect added by either:: a) Running the slide show (Slide Show tab) or,

7 b) Clicking the Preview command at the left of the ANIMATIONS tab. Adding Animation Effects As described in the previous section of this document, you can have up to three types of animation effect (entrance, emphasis and exit). The techniques described above are for applying just one of those three types. If you wish to apply more than one type of animation to an object, for example, you want a picture to enter the slide, emphasis itself and then disappear, you must ADD animation. 1. Select the object that you want to add additional animation to. 2. Select the ANIMATIONS tab. 3. Click Add Animation in the Advanced Animation group. 4. Click the icon for the animation effect that you want to add to the object. 5. Select settings and options as described in the previous section of this document. Using the Animation Pane If working with complex animation effects, it can be difficult to see the types applied and understand the order of the animations simply by referring to the numbers that appear next to each animated object. The Animation Pane lists the animation effects and uses different colours to differentiate between entrance, emphasis and exit animation types. The Animation Pane also provides ways to: Re-order animation effects; Animate each bullet in a placeholder with a different effect; Adjust Duration and Delay timings; Delete animation; Play animation and see animations as a timeline; Set further options. 1. Select the ANIMATIONS tab. 2. Click the Animation Pane in the Advanced Animation group. Edit animations 1. In the Animation Pane, select the object you wish to edit. 2. Use the ANIMATIONS tab to re-select options and settings for the selected object. Re-order animations 1. Select in the Animation Pane the animation that you want to move (make happen sooner or later). 2. Click the Up or Down arrows at the top of the pane. Animations are executed sequentially from top to bottom. Editing the animation of each bullet point separately 1. In the Animation Pane, click the tiny double arrow button below a bullet group. 2. Select the individual bullet that you want to animate. 3. Use the ANIMATIONS tab to re-select options and settings for the selected bullet point. 4. Click the double arrow again (it will be pointing upwards this time) to close the bullet group. Delete animations 1. In the Animation Pane, right-click the object that you want to remove the animation from. 2. Select Remove in the shortcut menu. 1. In the Animation Pane, select the object that you want to remove the animation from. 2. Select the ANIMATIONS tab. 3. Click None in the Animation gallery. Set further animation options 1. In the Animation Pane, right-click the object that you want to see further animation options for. 2. Select Effect Options in the shortcut menu. Although some of the settings in this dialog box replicate commands on the ANIMATIONS tab, you can also: Add sound (Effect tab > Sound:). Fade bullet points out (Effect tab > After animation:); Animate text letter-by-letter or word-by-word (Effect tab > Animate text:). Repeat an animation (Timing tab > Repeat:). Have greater control over when the animation starts (Timing tab > Triggers button) Run animations in reverse order, eg. animating bullets bottom to top instead of top to bottom (Text Animation tab > In reverse order:). The Animation Painter Similar to the Format Painter that can be sound in all Microsoft Office applications; this tool can be used to copy an animation effect from one object to others. A boon if you have added an especially complicated effect to an object and you want to repeat it elsewhere or, you just wish quickly to make all the animations in your presentation consistent. 1. Select the object to which you applied animation and that you want to use on a similar object elsewhere in the presentation. 2. Select the ANIMATIONS tab. 3. Click Animation Painter in the Advanced Animation group. 4. Navigate to the another slide where you want to replicate the animation. 5. Click on the object. An automatic preview will show you the animation applied. TIP: Double-click the Animation Painter button and you can use it over and over again on multiple objects. Click the button again or press [Esc] to turn it off. Inserting Sounds & Video You can add multimedia effects, such as sound and video, to a slide show. Sound and video can be used to call special attention to a particular slide and its contents. Sound and video effects can be set to automatically start when the slide appears or when you click the object. You can preview the slide or run the slide show to hear a sound and/or view a video. To add video to a new slide, 1. Select the HOME tab. 2. Click the lower half of the New Slide command. 3. Select the Title and Content layout. 4. Click the Insert Video icon in the centre of the slide. 5. Click From a file. 6. Navigate to and select the required video. 7. Click Insert. 8. If the following message appears, wait for the conversion to be completed. It can take a few minutes for a very long video. 9. Preview the video by clicking the Run button on the playback bar at the bottom of the video object. 7

8 To add a sound file or to add a video to an existing slide 1. View the slide that you want to add sound or video to. 2. Select the INSERT tab. 3. Click the Movie or Audio command in the Media group. 4. Select Video on My PC or Audio on My PC. 5. Navigate to and select the required video. 6. Click Insert. 7. If the following message appears (Video only), wait for the conversion to be completed. It can take a few minutes for a very long video.
