How To Use PowerPoint 
A Brief Introduction to Commonly Used Features 
By Ryan McKenzie
Introduction 
PowerPoint is a very commonly used, 
fairly powerful presentation software from

graduate, or professional) there is a good 
chance that you have been or will be exposed 
to this tool. Furthermore, most of you will need 
to use it. This slide show is intended not only to

but to be distributed as a way to practice what 
you learn as you learn it.
What Will be Demonstrated 
 Adding Slides to a Presentation 
 Using a Uniform Appearance/Motif 
 How to Vary Slide Layout and Text (font, size, color) 
 Using Graphics from ClipArt or a File 
 Using Animated Text (Timed and Manual) 
 Applying Slide Transitions 
 Adding Sound (From a File or the Gallery) 
 Using AutoShapes 
 Adding Videos and Animation 
 Placing Action Buttons for Nonlinear Slide Selection 
 Linking to Web Content or Email Addresses
