6 Getting Started 1 Follow these steps to start PowerPoint: Starting PowerPoint Select Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 from the Start Menu You will be placed into a new blank presentation with the Slide pane at the left of your screen. The user interface for PowerPoint 2007 shares some common features with other Windows programs you may be familiar with, and also includes some very new features you will not have seen before. Let s look at some of these features now: The Title Bar Quick Access Toolbar Title Bar Close button Restore Down/Maximize button Minimize button Microsoft Office Button The Ribbon The Ribbon gives you access to options that help you work with the program. These commands are organized into categories and displayed under tabs. Each tab relates to a particular function. Some tabs only appear when an item is selected, for example, the Drawing Tools Format tab is displayed on the Ribbon only when a drawing object has been clicked on. 4 WARP! Computer Training

7 The Title Bar shows the name of the Application Program running and the name of any presentation open in that Application. The Microsoft Office Button provides a list of basic commands to work with your presentation, such as save, open and print. The Quick Access Toolbar displays links to frequently-used tasks. It is configurable place a regularly used command on the Quick Access Toolbar to access that function with one click of the mouse. Introduction to the Microsoft Office Button Various file management and setup options are available via the Microsoft Office Button.

You have just opened a presentation using the Microsoft Office Button. Status Bar Most programs will have a Status Bar at the very bottom of their screens. The PowerPoint Status Bar looks like this: Status Indicator Window Resizing Tab The Status Indicator and the Window Resizing Tab appear in most Windows programs. The Status Indicator gives a description of the action currently being performed as well as displaying the slide number, total number of slides, and the type of view and presentation design. The Window Resizing Tab is used to resize windows that have not been maximized. If a window does not have a resizing tab in the lower-right corner and it is not maximized, then you can probably still resize the window. Introduction to the Ribbon Now that you have opened a presentation, let s study some of the presentation creation features that PowerPoint makes available to you. The Ribbon is a new type of application user interface. It gives you access to program features that were previously available via the menu bar. Commands are organized into groups and displayed under tabs. Each tab relates to a type of activity. The Home tab will automatically be selected when you start PowerPoint: 6 WARP! Computer Training

You can also Drag the scroll box up or down (or, left or right) to accomplish the same action. Clicking the scroll bar at different points will also let you move to different parts of your workspace. Dialog Boxes If you have worked with other Windows programs before you will have used Dialog Boxes. The Open feature of all programs is an example of a dialog box: As the name suggests, programs use Dialog Boxes to ask you to do something. 8 WARP! Computer Training
