PowerPoint 2013 Part II

Transcription

1 PowerPoint 2013 Part II Photo Album The Photo Album tool is a quick and easy way to import a bunch of photos into a slideshow. This is especially helpful if you are creating a picture slideshow. Note: It is best to have your photos sized to the slide size before you insert your photos, especially if you want to insert each photo as an individual slide that will fit the entire screen. It is also good to have the photos compressed to keep the PowerPoint file size down. Go to the Insert Tab. Select the Photo Album drop down arrow and choose New Photo Album. Under Album Content, Insert picture from file/disk, navigate to the Folder storing the images and select all images to be inserted into the album.

2 When you have added the images, you are able to rotate, adjust brightness and contrast to each individual image. To do this, you have to have a checkmark on the picture(s) that you want to edit. It is best practice to do this in a photo editor, but you are able to do it through PowerPoint if need be. The pictures will be put in the slideshow in the order they were in the folder that you imported from. If you would like to rearrange the pictures, make sure you select the picture you want to move or remove by placing a checkmark next to the picture, and then use the up or down arrows underneath the pictures to change locations. You are also able to add a text box slide to your slideshow. When you do this, you will add a slide that will be an entire text box. You are able to edit this text box after you have created your slideshow. The slide will be placed under the slide that you currently have selected. Under Album Layout, you are able to specify how you want the photos to display (Fit to Slide, 2 pictures per slide, etc.), change the frame shape of the pictures, and add a Theme to the slideshow. You can always add a Theme after adding the photos by going to the Design Tab. When you have set up your album how you want it to display, Select the Create button. You photo album will be created with your images inserted based on the options you selected. The title slide will appear as Photo Album. You are able to edit this by clicking in the text box. If you do need to make any changes to the slideshow, you are always able to edit by going back to the Insert Tab, selecting Photo Album, and Edit Photo Album. 2

3 Slide Transitions A slide Transition is a type of animation as you move from one slide to the next. To add a Transition navigate to the Transitions tab and look at the available options. Click on a transition to see a preview of the effect on your slide. Tip: It may be best to go to your slide sorter view on the view tab to see more of your presentation. If you selected a transition and you don t like how the effect takes place, be in come from the right, left, bottom, etc. You are able to change this option by clicking on the Effect Options icon to the right of the transitions. By default, when you select a transition, it will only be applied to the slide that you have selected. If you want to apply the same transition to each slide, click on the Apply To All icon to the right of the Transitions. You are also able to add a sound to each transition and change the length of time for the transitions. Again, you can apply these setting to one slide at a time, or you can click on the Apply to All icon to apply the setting to each slide. Test the PowerPoint Show and see how the transitions work in your presentation. To do this, press F5 to start your presentation from Slide #1. You may also change to reading view to look at your current slide. 3

4 Slide Timings By default, the advance to next slide is set to mouse click, so you will need to click the mouse, use your arrow keys, hit the spacebar, etc. to navigate from one slide to the next. If you want your presentation to automatically advance, you will have to change the default setting from the Transitions Tab. On the far right side under Advance slide, uncheck the On Mouse Click and check the checkbox After and set a specific time (usually seconds). PowerPoint will automatically advance from slide to slide while in the PowerPoint show based on the time settings. Use the Apply To All option to easily add the timing to each slide in the presentation. When you are in the slide sorter view, you will see the amount of time that is set up for each slide. 4

5 Working with Multimedia Sound/Audio To add a sound file to a presentation and have it play in the background, navigate to the Insert tab, Media group and click on Sound. Note: You must be in Normal View to add Audio. Click on the drop down arrow for sound/audio file options: Online Audio clipart audio, free from office.com Audio from My PC MP3/4 file Record Audio record your voice Inserting Online Audio If you select Online Audio, you are able to search office.com for free audio files. Typically these are instrumental, or nature sound files. To insert a file, double click on the icon, or click on the Insert button. The Sound icon will display on the slide where you are able to preview it. 5

6 Remove Sound/Audio File Remove the Sound/Audio file by clicking on the sound icon and pressing the delete key. Sound/Audio from File To add a sound file from your PC, select the Audio from My PC option. You are able to choose any of the following formats..mp3/.mp4 MPEG Audio.wma Windows Media Audio.wav Windows Wave Form.midi Musical Instrument Digital Interface.aiff Audio Interchange File Format.au Unix Audio Make sure you are on the first slide in your presentation when you are adding an audio file. This will ensure you file will play when the slideshow starts. If you were to insert your audio file in slide 4, the file would not start playing until you got to slide 4. When a sound file is inserted, a sound icon will display, usually in the middle of the slide. This icon will stay on the slide unless you tell it otherwise. There is an option to Hide During show that can be selected. As long as your audio file is selected, you will have an Audio Tools tab on your Ribbon. By default, your file will not play, to get your audio file to play across all slides, hide the audio icon, and to loop, simply select the Play in Background icon. You are able to unselect any of these options if you do not want the audio file to loop for example. You can also keep the No Style selected and pick the options that you want individually. Preview the file by hitting the play icon, in the Ribbon on the Audo Tools tab, or by pressing F5 to start your slideshow. If the audio is too loud, or quiet, there are a few options under the Volume icon to adjust the loudness of the file. 6

7 If you want your audio file to start at a specific point and or end at a specific point, select the Trim Audio icon. This will allow you to enter in a specified time, or use the start point(green icon) and end point (red icon) to drag to a specific location on the audio file. Make sure to hit the OK button to accept your changes. Setting up a Kiosk There are two steps to complete when setting up a kiosk for a PowerPoint presentation. One, timings must be recorded or rehearsed for each slide and any special effects. Second, the presentation must be set up in a kiosk mode where it loops through the presentation over and over again using existing transition, effect and timings. Kiosk using timings If you have set up timings on your presentation through the Transitions tab by selecting when to Advance each slide and you are satisfied with the timings you can set up your kiosk right away. You can verify this by looking at your slide sorter view. If you see times under each slide, you already have timings. From the Slide show tab, select Set Up Slide Show 7

8 On the Set Up Show window, you have multiple options for your slideshow. Presented by a speaker (full): The default viewing option for slide shows. Browsed by an individual (window): Enables an individual to control and view the presentation in PowerPoint s Browser. Browsed at Kiosk (Full Screen): Creates a self-running show that loops continuously Click OK. Now when you play your slideshow, it will continuously look until you stop the slideshow. Rehearsing timings If you don t have set timings on your slides, or if you want to set new timings, you will want to go to the Slide Show Tab, and select Rehearse Timings. PowerPoint will now start your slideshow in full screen mode. There will be a timer in the upper left hand corner that will display the time on the current slide, as well as the total time for the slideshow. You will have to manually advance the slides by using your mouse, arrow keys, spacebar, etc. If you have animations and they are set to start on a mouse click, you will have to also use your mouse, arrow keys, or spacebar to start each individual animation. If you changed how the animations start in the Animation Pane, they will start based on the timings you have set. 8

9 When finished rehearsing your presentation, a dialog box will appear asking if you want to save the timings. If you choose yes the PowerPoint will overwrite any other timings that you have had. You can view the new timings by looking at the Slide Sorter View. If the timings aren t quite right, go through the Rehearse Timings, again. You will now set up your Kiosk as we did previously but the kiosk will be set up with the rehearsed timings. Creating Slides from Existing Outline Files You can use an existing document as the basis for a PowerPoint presentation. PowerPoint will allow you to import text in a variety of formats into a new or existing presentation. To import an outline, make sure you have a document that is in outline form. You can easily create one from a template in Word, or from a blank document by using the heading styles on the Home tab. Once you have your outline, click on the new slide icon and select Slides from Outline. Navigate to your outline file and double click it or click on the Insert button. Tip: When you are creating your outline, make sure you select the same theme that you intend to use in your presentation so the font and color of the text match. Your outline will be imported into PowerPoint. Each setting of Heading 1 will create a new slide, Heading 2 will be a bullet on Heading 1 s slide. Outline Mode Outline mode provides a fast way to edit text and create new slides without the distractions of color, pictures and diagrams. Outline mode can be helpful when you are first starting out and you are brainstorming your idea. It is kind of a rough draft to your presentation. To access Outline mode, click on the View tab, and then select the Outline View icon. 9

10 Each corresponding number refers to the slide number, the bold text is the slide title and the indented text under the bold text is the slide content. The text can be edited in outline mode, by clicking on the text and either adding or deleting text. The changes made in outline mode, automatically update on the slides on the right. To enter a new slide, place your cursor at the end of one of the lines in outline mode and hit enter. If you are at the end of the content (bullets) within a slide, PowerPoint will add another bullet. To force PowerPoint to add a new slide, click Shift-Tab. This will produce a new slide icon, and you are able to type in the title of the new slide. When you want to add bullets, press the Tab key, which will indent the cursor and allow for bullets (content) on the slide. Press enter to add new bullets. If you have a second layer to add, press the Tab key to indent your content again. Tip: Any time you want to indent your content, press the Tab key. When you want to out dent, press the Shift-Tab keys. Inserting Movie/Video Adding a Movie/Video file works much the same as inserting a sound file. Position the cursor on the slide where you want to insert the video. (Some slide layouts provide an icon option to add a video.) From the Insert tab on the Ribbon, select the Movie/Video icon. Navigate and point to one of the selected movie/video file types:.mp4 Audio/Video format.wmv Windows Media Video.asf Windows Advanced Streaming format.avi Windows Audio Video Interleave.qtff QuickTime Movie File.mpg or.mpeg Moving Picture Experts Group movie file.swf Adobe Flash Video Note: If you select Online Video, you will be asked to sign into your Microsoft account to select a video from your One Drive storage. Currently you are unable to select a video from YouTube. The video will be placed in the center of your slide. You are able to resize it by clicking, holding and dragging on the placeholders around the video. You can also preview the video by pressing Play. 10

11 If the video is selected, you will see the Video Tools tab. The Playback tab will have features similar to the Audio Playback where you are able to adjust when the video starts, trimming the video, etc. From the Format tab, you are able to edit the video as you would with a shape or SmartArt. From the Corrections icon, you are able to change the brightness and contrast, the color icon will allow you to overlay a color on the video, and the Video Styles group will allow you to change the border and overall look of the video on the screen. Hyperlinks Hyperlinks can be a great tool to use in PowerPoint while lecturing or giving a presentation. A Hyperlink is a quick and easy way to navigate from one place to another during a presentation, within your presentation, or to a website, etc. Creating a Hyperlink to a Web Page Start by selecting the text or object that will be used as the hyperlink.

If you intend on using several hyperlinks, you are able to change the theme settings so all hyperlinks are blue. On the design tab, click on the dropdown to the right of the Variants for your theme, select Colors and then select Customize Colors..
