2. Changing Slide Orientation
The MS PowerPoint Slides, by default will always be in
‘Landscape’ mode. If you do not want the slides to be
in this mode, you can change the orientation of the
slides to ‘Portrait’ mode. This can be done by clicking
on Design > Slide Orientation > Portrait in the Page
Setup group of the ribbon.

4. Page Setup
Page Setup allows you to customize the appearance
(in terms of size and orientation) of a page. This can
be done by clicking on Design > Page Setup in the
Page Setup group of the ribbon. A dialog box will pop
out, showing the current size of the page as well as its
orientation.

6. Adding Image
PowerPoint offers you a number of different ways to
add clip art and pictures to a presentation. Perhaps
the easiest way to do so is to select a slide layout that
contains a placeholder for content such as clip art and
pictures. An alternative to this method is to select the
Insert tab on the ribbon and click on the Picture or
Clip Art icon (Insert > Picture or Insert > Clip Art).

7. Adding Text
n Microsoft PowerPoint, the easiest way to add text is
to use the content placeholders that appear by default
on the slides you add to your presentation. For
example, if you add a Title and Content slide there are
two placeholders for text: the title placeholder and the
content placeholder. To add text in either of these
places, simply click in the box and start typing. If you
need to add text to a slide outside of the normal text
placeholders, you can add a text box. To do this, click
Insert > Text Box.
