PowerPoint is used to create slide shows that accompany oral presentations. It provides title slides and text boxes to build out slides. The main views include Normal view for building slides, Slide Sorter view to see all slides miniatured, and Slide Show view for presenting. Outline view shows the text hierarchy and can be exported to Word, while Notes Pages are for printed speaker notes. Various content like clip art can be added and resized on slides using different content layouts.

2. • PowerPoint uses a graphical approach to
presentations in the form of slide shows that
accompany the oral delivery of the topic. This
program is widely used in class rooms and is an
effective tool when used for training purposes.

3. Your First View of PowerPoint Actually Looks
Pretty Bland. There Is One Large Page, Called a
Slide. Every Presentation Should Begin With a
Title and So PowerPoint Presents You With a
Title Slide. Simply Type Your Text Into the Text
Boxes Provided.

4. • When you first open
PowerPoint, your
screen should
resemble the diagram
to the right.

5. Areas of the Screen

6. • Section 1. Each page of the working area of
the presentation is called a slide. New
presentations open with a Title slide in
Normal view ready for editing.

7. Slide View as it is more commonly known, is the most often
used view while creating a PowerPoint presentation.

9. • Section 2. This area toggles between Slides view
and Outline View. Slides view shows a tiny
picture of all the slides in your presentation.
Outline view shows the hierarchy of the text in
your slides.

10. Notes for the Presenter
• Notes Pages show a smaller version of the
slide with an area below for printed notes.
Each slide is created on its own notes page.
The speaker can print these pages out to use
as a reference while making his
presentation. The notes do not show on the
screen during the presentation.
