8 Creating a Presentation PowerPoint

9 Importing Text to Create Slides This lesson will show you how you can import an RTF text file to automatically create slides What is an RTF file? RTF stands for Rich Text Format. It is a type of text file that can have formatting (styles, fonts, colours, etc.) Styles are added to the RTF file to indicate which text should go on which slide. Style Heading 1 will result in a new slide When this file is imported into PowerPoint, each line of text that has style Heading 1 will create a new slide. The text will be used for the title of the slide. Style Heading 2 will result in bulleted text on a slide When this file is imported into PowerPoint, each line of text that has style Heading 2 will become bulleted text on the slide. PowerPoint

10 In PowerPoint open the RTF file From the File menu, pick Open... In the File Open window, make sure that you pick All Files (*.*) as the file type Select your RTF file, then click Open See the automatically created slides You should see that the RTF file text has been imported as a set of slides. Each line of text with style Heading 1 has become a new slide, with the Heading 2 text appearing as bulleted text on each slide. PowerPoint

PowerPoint

18 In the Header and Footer window make sure that: - Date and Time is ticked, and Update Automatically is selected - Slide Number is ticked Check the normal slides to see the date and slide numbers Close the Master Slide and check the normal slides.

20 Adding a Coloured Block to the Background of the Master Slide Use the Rectangle tool to draw a coloured block Select the Rectangle tool from the Drawing toolbar Note: if the Drawing toolbar is not visible, click the View menu, go to Toolbars, and tick the Drawing toolbar Draw the rectangle where you want the coloured block to be Note: you are drawing on top of other items on the Master Slide - Don't worry!

The text displayed in the Title Area and AutoLayout Area is just example text. It only there so that you can see how it looks (the style) The actual text does not matter! You can change this text to anything that you like - it will not affect any of the slides If your text area is too small for the defualt text, just change the text PowerPoint
