Chapter 1 - Exploring PowerPoint Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 is a presentation graphics program that produces
dynamic and powerful slide shows containing movies, sounds, text, graphics,
charts, and SmartArt. You can use PowerPoint for formal and informal
presentations and meetings, as well as for presentations on the Internet.
Whether you are presenting an idea, plan, or complex report to a group, you
can use PowerPoint to combine essential data, dramatic illustrations,
animation, special effects, and timed sequences that convey your important
points in an informative and convincing visual presentation.
PowerPoint incorporates a wide variety of tools and features for selecting
fonts, formats, styles, colors, and themes. You can import documents from
word processing programs or worksheets and charts from spreadsheet
applications as well as creating text, tables and charts directly in PowerPoint.
For example, in a presentation designed to show your company's financial
performance, you could import a previously created list of assets from
Microsoft Word and a graph illustrating stock performance from Microsoft
Excel. Alternatively you could create a bullet pointed list, table of data and
associated chart using PowerPoint and its integration with the other
applications in the Office 2010 suite.
You can use illustrations from clip art libraries or picture files, as well as
movies and sounds from the clip organizer, files or CDs. There are galleries of
predefined shapes, WordArt and SmartArt objects and you could even create
a Photo Album from a collection of digital photographs.
1.1 Starting PowerPoint When Microsoft Office 2010 is installed, it creates a Microsoft Office
submenu in your All Programs menu of the start menu. The submenu
contains the shortcuts to all of your Office applications. You can open
Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 by selecting it from this menu.
Step-by-Step
1. Click Windows Start
2. Point to All Programs
3. Point to Microsoft Office
4. Click PowerPoint 2010 or (PowerPoint 2007 icon )
1.2 Using the Microsoft File Ribbon Tab The new look of Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 brings many changes. Most of
these changes refer to the navigational aspects of the application and the new
and improved user interface. PowerPoint 2010, along with other Microsoft
Office applications, has moved away from the complex menu system and has
SAMPLE
Page 2
arranged features and commands according to their use and their place in the
order of creating a presentation. One thing that is similar to the older Office
2003 program is the File ribbon tab where you can choose a New document,
Open, Save, Print, and Close. It is located in the upper left corner of the
screen. There are other features, but the primary purpose is filing the
document. Office 2007 uses a different button for file manipulation (see
below) instead of the File ribbon tab. Its purpose is the same but the Office
button but looks different.
Office 2010 File ribbon tab Office 2007 Office button
1.3 Using the Ribbon In place of the old menu systems in previous editions, Microsoft has
introduced the Ribbon. The Ribbon comprises a band of functional tabs
across the top of the screen. The orders in which these tabs appear across the
Ribbon are designed to follow the flow of creating a presentation, thus
enabling a straightforward and logical order to presentation construction.
These tabs act as menus and display the relevant commands relating to that tab.
The tabs available across the Ribbon include the Home tab, Insert tab, Design
tab, Animations tab, Slide Show tab, Review tab, and View tab.
The Ribbon
1.4 Working with Groups In PowerPoint 2010 the graphical tabs serve as the menu list for a range of
activities. When selected from the Ribbon a tab displays a range of Groups.
These Groups categorize Commands according to their function. Below is a
brief guide to the Groups and Commands you will find on each of the tabs in
PowerPoint 2010:
Home tab - here you will find basic commands such as New Slide
and Text formatting commands.
SAMPLE
Page 3
Insert tab - these Groups allow you to insert various objects into a
slide such as tables, pictures, diagrams, charts, text, movies and
sound.
Design tab - gives you the tools you need to customize the
appearance of your presentation slides.
Animations tab - allows you to add a variety of animations and
transitions to your slides.
Slide Show tab - these Groups aim to help you rehearse your
presentation.
Review tab - here you can check the Spelling in your presentation
as well as add comments and annotation to slides.
View tab - offers you a variety of ways to view your slides from
Notes Master to Black and White or Grayscale.
The Groups
1.5 Working with the Contextual Tabs In addition to the standard tabs that appear along the Ribbon there are
Contextual Tabs that appear and disappear as you use various commands.
These Contextual Tabs contain special formatting tools for items like tables
and graphics. When you have inserted a picture, table, chart or SmartArt
object for example, the Contextual Tabs will appear on the right hand side of
the Ribbon and will be highlighted with a different color to the rest of the tabs.
When you have finished working on the selected item these tabs will
automatically disappear.
A Contextual tab
1.6 Working with the Galleries While some buttons in the Ribbon immediately apply a command, such as the
Bold button, other buttons offer a large range of choices. When you see a
button with a down-pointing arrow, it indicates that the button offers several
options. Generally, clicking this type of button displays a Gallery, although
SAMPLE
Page 4
some buttons display just a menu, while others show both a gallery and a
menu.
A Gallery is a graphic display of the options available from the button.
A Gallery
Step-by-Step
1. Insert ribbon tab
2. Shapes Button
1.7 Working with Quick Styles Office 2010 also has a special type of gallery on some of the tabs known as a
Quick Style gallery. You can recognize a Quick Style gallery by the fact it
displays several options directly on the Ribbon and has three arrows on the
right-hand side of the button.
The top two arrows on the right-hand side are scroll buttons that let you see the
other options in the Quick Style gallery without having to display the whole
gallery at one time.
The third arrow, the one with the line above it, is known as the More arrow.
When you click the More arrows, the whole gallery is displayed.
SAMPLE

1.8 Using the Quick Access Toolbar The Quick Access Toolbar is a feature that is present throughout Microsoft
Office 2010. It appears at the top left of the screen alongside the File ribbon
tab. It is a quick and easy way to access some of an application‟s regularly
used features without using the Ribbon or Tabs. You can choose to display
the Quick Access Toolbar below the Ribbon, if you prefer.
The Quick Access Toolbar has three commands by default; Save, Undo, and
Redo. However, you may find that there are other commands that you use
frequently and wish to add to the Quick Access Toolbar. You may want to
remove some commands that you find less useful.
The Quick Access toolbar

1.10 Using the Mini Toolbar When you select text for formatting, the Mini toolbar automatically appears
above the selected text. If you move the mouse pointer close to the Mini
toolbar, it fades in and can be used to format the selected text. If you move the
mouse pointer away from the Mini toolbar, it fades away.
The Mini Toolbar
Step-by-Step
1. Type in the word Test anywhere on the screen
2. Select the word Test then right-Click on the selected area to see the mini toolbar.
1.11 Using Live Preview The Live Preview feature is a particularly useful tool to try out different styles,
effects, and colors. The Live Preview feature allows you to visualize effects
before applying them. To see a change in your presentation, hover the mouse
pointer over the thumbnail images or list items in the galleries.
The Live Preview feature will temporarily display the changes to the selected
object. When you finish previewing the styles, click to select your preferred
option.

2. Select the File ribbon tab Recent
3. Click the pin on the right of the filename.
1.13 Saving a New Presentation After creating a new presentation you can save it to disk so that you can
retrieve it at another time.
When you save a presentation for the first time, PowerPoint opens the Save
As dialog box, into which you enter the desired file name and location. A file
name can consist of multiple words (up to 255 characters) and should be
descriptive enough for you to recognize its contents. The following characters
SAMPLE
Page 8
cannot be used in file names: forward slash (/), backslash (\), greater than
symbol (>), less than symbol (<), asterisk (*), quotation marks (“,”), question
marks (?), pipe symbol ( | ), colon (:), or semicolon (;). PowerPoint
automatically assigns the .pptx extension when you save a file for the first
time.
Once a presentation has been saved, its file name appears in the application
title bar and subsequent saves do not display the Save As dialog box; instead,
PowerPoint updates the changes to the existing file each time you save the
presentation.

1.14 Closing a Presentation When you have finished working on a presentation you can close it to remove
it from the application window.
If you close a presentation without saving the most recent changes,
PowerPoint prompts you to save it. You can choose to save the changes made
to the presentation, or you can close the presentation without saving the
changes.

Chapter 2 - Working with Presentations When you open PowerPoint 2010 or create a new blank presentation, a single
slide based on the Title Slide layout appears. There are nine predefined layouts
available. Each layout contains Placeholders to indicate where content appears
on a slide and to assist with adding different types of content. A collection of
layouts is called a Slide Master. You can create your own custom layouts
which are added to the standard layouts in the Slide Master for the current
presentation. Once you have created a custom layout, you can use it for as
many slides in the presentation as you require.
2.1 Entering Text into a Presentation You can start typing text in this first slide by entering the text directly into the
placeholders or you can select a different layout. When you click the text in a
placeholder, PowerPoint switches to edit mode. The placeholder appears with
hatched borders with sizing handles (white circles), a rotate handle (green
circle) and the insertion point appears in the placeholder.
Entering text into a presentation
Step-by-Step
1. Open Chapter2-1 Start.pptx from the C:\Data folder.

4. Click outside the placeholder
2.2 Adding a New Slide You can use the New Slide button to add additional slides to a presentation.
PowerPoint automatically inserts a new slide with a Title and Content layout
after the current slide. PowerPoint provides nine layouts by default in the
Layout gallery. A slide layout is a predefined arrangement of placeholders for
inserting titles, body text, and content objects.
All layouts, apart from the Blank layout, provide one or more placeholders for
text. The Title and Content, Two Content, Comparison, and
Content with Caption layouts also provide placeholders for inserting content
objects (Tables, Charts, SmartArt Graphics, Pictures, Clip Art or Media
Clips). The Picture with Caption layout provides a placeholder for inserting a
Picture together with two Text placeholders. Each content placeholder

which has a plain background and simple font styles and colors. You can
quickly change the appearance of all your slides by selecting a different theme.
You can use themes to ensure consistency in your presentations. A theme
applies colors, fonts, styles, and effects to all the slides in your presentation.
Themes are a useful way of applying a corporate standard to your presentation
as they can be used to create matching documents throughout the Microsoft
Office 2010 suite.

and are based on the set of colors used in each theme; if you apply a different
theme, the set of Background Styles available also changes.
When you select a Background Style from the gallery, changes are
automatically applied to all slides in your presentation. You can also change

Chapter 3 - Using the Outline Tab When you are creating a presentation, entering text in an outline format allows
you to concentrate on the content. The presentation outline appears when you
click the Outline tab in the tabs pane at the left-hand side of the program
window. You can enter presentation text and see the formatted slide in Normal
view at the same time. Since most presentations list highlights instead of full
explanations, the outline is an effective way of organizing your thoughts.
The Outline tab displays a presentation in the form of a classic outline,
consisting of separate lines for the heading and associated body text of each
slide. Text can be indented to one of five levels. Level one is the highest
(heading) level.
You create a presentation in the same way you would create an outline, by
typing the headings and indenting the associated body text. Pressing the
[Enter] key after typing text inserts a new line at the same level. Therefore,
pressing the [Enter] key after typing level 1 (heading) text inserts a new slide
into the presentation, and pressing the [Enter] key after typing level 2 text
inserts a new line at level 2 of the same slide.
3.1 Working with the Outline Tab As you add text to a presentation outline, you can change text levels as you
type. Changing the level of the current line is called promoting or demoting the
line.
Promoting and demoting text can change the structure of your presentation.
For instance, demoting level 1 (heading) text demotes the slide to body text on
the previous slide. You can use the mouse or the arrow keys on the keyboard to
move the insertion point and select text on the Outline tab.
You can also use the Decrease List Level and Increase List Level buttons in
the Paragraph group on the Home tab to promote and demote levels or you
can right-click on a text entry in a slide outline and using the Promote and
Demote options.

3.2 Collapsing and Expanding Slides One of the advantages of working with an outline is the ability to expand and
collapse it. A collapsed outline allows you to see the flow of ideas more easily,
since you only see the titles of each slide. You can also collapse all slides
except for the current slide. This option leaves more of the screen available.
You can choose to collapse the entire outline and view only the titles of each
slide to check for continuity, or you can collapse specific slides. You can also
expand the entire outline to view all the body text, or you can expand only
specific slides as you work with them.
PowerPoint provides a few tools that make it easier to work with the
presentation outline. One tool is the splitter bar (the vertical border between the
tabs pane and the slide pane). You can drag the splitter bar to adjust the size of
the tabs pane. Increasing the size of the tabs pane makes it easier to read longer
lines.

3.3 Demoting and Promoting Text Lines PowerPoint provides nine levels of indentation for the body text on a slide.
Level 1 has the smallest indent, and level 9 has the largest. When you want to
place less emphasis on an item, you can demote it. When you demote an item,
the indentation increases. When you want to place more emphasis on an item,
you can promote it. When you promote an item, the indentation decreases.
The Show Text Formatting option in the Outline menu (displayed when you
right-click in the Outline tab) lets you display the text formatting in the
outline. When text formatting is displayed, level 1 text has the largest font size,
decreasing in steps to level 4. The font size for level 4 to level 9 texts is the
same.
You can use the Decrease List Level button and Increase List Level button in
the Paragraph group on the Home tab or press the [Tab] key to demote text
or press the [Shift+Tab] key combination to promote text.

Chapter 4 - Editing and Proofing Text There may be times when you want to perform an action on a word, paragraph,
slide title, or slide object. In order to perform this action, you must first select
the text or object. Text is stored on a placeholder which is a square box on the
slide and can be manipulated as a single box. This chapter uses the
placeholders when copying, moving, and deleting text.

combinations. To select all the text in a placeholder, you can select the text, or
you can select the placeholder itself. Selecting a placeholder automatically
selects all text in the placeholder, although the text does not appear selected.
While selecting text with the mouse, PowerPoint may start selecting entire
words automatically. To disable this feature, deselect the When selecting,

spelling as you enter text. This feature examines the words in a presentation
and compares them to the words found in the main dictionary. When a word is
found that is not in the main dictionary, a single, red, wavy line appears
beneath the word. You can ignore the underline and continue typing, or you
can right-click the identified text and select one of the suggestions or
commands on the shortcut menu. This method is enabled by default.
Another way to check spelling in a presentation is to invoke the spelling
checker after the presentation has been created. The red, wavy lines generated
by the spelling checker only appear on the screen; they are not displayed in the
slideshow or printed with the presentation.

checker checks the entire presentation, even if you start it in the middle of the
presentation. You can run the spelling checker from the Review tab. The
spelling checker starts in the slide containing the insertion point. The notes
pane is automatically included in the spell check.
A word identified as misspelled appears in the Spelling dialog box, with

alternatives when a word is identified as incorrect. You can Click the correct
spelling of the word in the Suggestions list box and use the Change or
Change All button to change just the current occurrence or to change all
occurrences of the misspelled word. If PowerPoint does not list any entries in
the Suggestions list box, you can try using the Suggest button to see if any
words match the identified word. However, if the Suggestions list box does
not contain the correct spelling, you can type the correct spelling directly into
the Change to box in the Spelling dialog box. If the word is correct, you can
SAMPLE
Page 39

4.10 Importing Text from Word An existing Microsoft Word document can be used to create a PowerPoint
presentation. You can import text from Word into an existing PowerPoint
presentation or you can create a new presentation by importing an entire
outline created in Word.
When you import text from Word, it appears in PowerPoint in outline format.
PowerPoint creates the outline from text formatted with Heading styles in the
Word document. Any text formatted in Word in the Heading 1 style becomes
a slide title in the presentation; text formatted in the Heading 2 style becomes
first-level text in a presentation slide, text formatted in the Heading 3 style
becomes second-level text in a presentation slide, etc.
If the text in the Word document has not been formatted with styles,
PowerPoint creates the outline using the Word paragraph indentations.
If you use a Word outline to create a PowerPoint presentation, the first-level
headings from the Word outline are converted to slide titles, and the
successive outline levels are converted to bulleted items with corresponding
indents.
