Transcripts

hello and welcome to this overview of

Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 in this

tutorial I will go through the process

of creating a simple slideshow with text

and images applying the animations

applying formatting and completing the

presentation so let's get started

when you first open PowerPoint 2010

you'll be presented with this screen

here and on the left hand side of the

screen you'll see where your slides

appear in thumbnail form and on the

right side there's the main screen with

the slide for you to create your content

and PowerPoint is helpfully put on a

title slide for us to begin so I'll make

use of that and just click where it says

click to our title and I will put the

title of my presentation on which is the

suite store and it'll be a promotional

presentation for the particular business

and I have the option of adding a

subtitle to the main title and I'll do

that I'll click which is click to add

subtitle and I want to type in tasty

products at great prices now if ever you

make a spelling mistake as I've done

they're easy to do you just use standard

editing keys in the keyboard I just use

the back Delete key there and you can

correct your error so there we are

that's my text entered for the first

slide I can click away to deselect all

the boxes and that shows me how it will

more or less appear on the screen and

I'm simply going to add now a new slide

so just come up to where it says new

slide click that option and we get a new

slide template so I'll click where it

says click to our title and we're going

to type in the title of my second slide

which is awesome donuts are the Impala

exclamation mark on the end of it and

I'm going to add some text now to the

body of the slide so click in the second

text box which is click to add text and

we're going to put in some information

about the donuts say they're freshly

made that we have five varieties and

what I'm going to do here is when I

press the Enter key you see the bullet

points appearing

as I press the Enter key this time I'm

going to tab one time to create a second

level and I'm going to put my five

varieties on this second level

so I've plain chocolate custard jam and

finally banana I've never had a banana

donut but I'm sure the tasty now when I

press the Enter key it stays at the

second level and what I can do now is a

keyboard shortcut Shift + tab and that

will take me back to the top-level

bullet and I can carry on there with my

next feature five donuts per box very

generous again press the Enter key and

finally one more line giving the

customer some control I've made a

mistake there so just use the arrow keys

to come to that word delete the C put

the X in there because it should have

said choose your own mix of donuts now I

could leave the spelling errors in there

and just so complex spell check at the

end but I'll correct as I go for this

one so there's my second slide completed

I want a new one so again just click the

new slide button and you can see how

easy it is how it builds up there's a

new slide again it has the same template

so create the content for the third

slide so just click again in the title

area and add the title there click down

in the second area which is click to add

text and we'll add the bullet points now

made recipe for great oops

flavors and again for the third line I'm

going to tab in to create a second level

bullet point so let's add some flavors

strawberry what else you add vanilla

chocolates

I'll correct the errors in a second and

finally mints so they'll correct my

errors again just use the arrow keys to

come back to my strawberry error just

wants to be our a W and chocolate and

eyes sneaked in there so we'll delete

that let's press the N key comes the end

of the line and press ENTER and again I

want to go to a top level bullet so

Shift + tab takes me back you can also

promote and demote bullets on the

toolbar if I come up to the home toolbar

and somewhere in the middle you'll see

the two buttons in the paragraph section

one is to increase this level so if I

click on that you'll see what happens as

I click it it moves in and reverse it

takes it back to the top level

so I'll into my final line on this one

and we'll say I to get a third three

they go okay so there's slide number

three another want to create so again

just click on new slide and you see in

the thumbnail section on the left how

the show is building up so now at the

fourth slide to create and this one will

be thirst-quenching soda so there's my

title for slide number four click below

to enter the bullet points and here

we'll have three great flavors now i've

just forgot to put the capital g on

there so again this is the arrow keys

just edit as i go press the Enter key

again the tab key just to bring it to a

second level bullet and we will have

again strawberry lemon and apple in

Turkey again I'm going to use the

keyboard shortcut shift in tab to go to

the higher level we will say that our

sodas contain natural ingredients and

let the reveled in small medium and

large bottles there so I'm going to add

one more slide now and this will be my

final slide this will be the closing

slide now here I'm actually going to

modify this a bit because I don't want

this template

so I'm going to come back to layout and

I will choose the blank slide option I

do want to add text to the slide so I'm

going to click on the insert button and

in a text section on the insert toolbar

you'll see the text box simply click on

it and click on the slide don't have to

do anything special here apart from type

my content so I'm simply going to type

great offers in store oops and enter

every day

so there's the contents and I could

format it now but I will leave it for

now you can actually move this any way

you want to by simply clicking and

dragging on the edges of that box you

can also rotate it you see it's a small

green blob and I can click and drag and

rotate that which maybe I will later on

will see just for now we'll leave it as

it is and there's my content now I can

just quickly run through the

presentation on the keyboard you have

the page up and page down keys you also

have the arrow keys I'm going to use the

page down key to move down through the

presentation slide by slide just check

the contents okay I can also use the up

arrow key does the same thing up and

down arrow keys so you can use up and

down arrow keys page up page down just

to scroll through your presentation and

just check it's okay the next thing I'm

going to do is format the presentation

and there's many ways of applying

formatting in powerpoints and to go

through them all would probably take

hours which I'm sure you don't want to

spend so I'm going to do it really

quickly and apply one of powerpoints

built-in designs so to do that go to the

design tab and immediately you'll see

this large section that has themes and

if I just move my mouse across those

themes what you'll see is that as I move

to the more interesting ones the

formatting changes to give me a quick

preview of the colors and the textiles

that are incorporated with

style or with that theme so you've

gotten many more if I click on that

double arrow there at the end you'll see

there's a huge range now the problem

here of course is if I put the mouse

over I can't really see the full preview

but I get a rough idea and at any point

I could simply click to select but I

think what I'll do is I will select that

third one on the top row see how that

looks so as soon as I click on it you'll

see that PowerPoint applies that theme

across all my slides and now if I scroll

down through the presentation just using

page down you will see how it looks now

as it happens I don't really like that

one so I'm going to change the theme so

all I need to do is go back to that

theme selection and this time I'm going

to choose the one right at the bottom

very simple blue or white theme and

let's scroll through that see how that

looks not too bad that'll do for now so

there's the theme applied which is most

of my formatting for me and let's do a

bit more on this final slide I'm going

to click actually on the edge of that

box and the first thing I'll do is make

the text a lot bigger if I come back to

the Home tab you'll see on the font

section

I've got font size and font type and

I've got these handy buttons here to

increase and decrease the font size I'm

simply going to click the larger a to

increase the font size and you see what

happens if the text moves a bit too far

over to one side you can simply drag it

back by putting the mouse on the edge

however what I like to do is position

one side of the text box on the left

side you can then put your mouse pointer

on the right in the middle on the drag

handle drag it all the way to the right

and by doing that you can then Center

the text on the slide which please look

a bit nicer I can maybe make it bold as

well and a little bit bigger as well

make it really stand out

whoops bit too far let's come back one

and click away to see how it looks

that's fine

to reposition that's that'll do for my

final slide come back to the first slide

and again here I can resize these if I

want to within the theme so make my

sweet store much bigger same again for

the second box and so on and so forth so

I'll leave the other slides for now

that's okay and one thing we do need to

add is some images

I'll leave slide one as it is slide of

the - we need some donuts on there so

I'm going to go to the insert tab I'm

going to choose clipart when you do use

clip ups make sure that you have all

media types selected you can get rid of

video and audio if you want to but I

always leave it as all media types and

we're going to search for donuts so

let's see what we have again I also

include online contents so get the

latest clipart and here's a selection of

donuts graphics I can choose let's find

something suitable I think I'll just go

for that box there there's a few ways I

can apply it if I simply click on the

clipart it transfers the artwork to my

slide let's just reposition that down

the bottom right there that's fine

nothing super fancy so next slide like

an image of that as well this time we're

looking for ice cream just hit the enter

key it's a suitable ice cream image

again just click on that and it will

transfer that to my slide that solves it

go in from the website that's quite

large so I'm going to shrink that down

again just click on the top right drag

handle there reduce the size of the

image so it's suitable for my slide just

position it over the right there and

let's come down to the next slide and

here we want some soda

so again just type in soda hit the enter

key let's just scroll down through these

images you can find something suitable

there's a nice one just click on that

again it transfers from the online

server to my local slideshow and

just resize that again click top right

drag position over in the bottom right

that's will do nicely and on the final

slide I will just leave that again

without an image so scroll right back to

the top of the show just use the page

down key and you can now see those

slides with the images not trying to win

any design Awards here just giving you

an idea of how you can put your show

together so that's fine I can close down

my clipart window now and the next thing

I'd like to do is add some animations to

my presentation so I'm going to come to

slide number two and what I'm going to

do here is simply click on the edge of

that slide go to the animations tab and

choose the fly-in option you'll see

straightaway what happens when I put the

mouse over you can also have floating if

you would rather have that which

actually looks quite nice I'll go for

floating so I'm going to select that and

you'll see what happens when the slide

runs and I'll go and apply the same

animation to the next slide so again

just click on the edge of that text box

choose float in and we'll do the same

thing to slide number four again just

click on the edge of the sex box so all

the content is included choose floating

again and there we are

that'll do I think so let's go back to

the beginning and run that show you can

actually run the show from the beginning

using a keyboard shortcut and here I'm

going to press the f5 key to run the

show I will see it with the animations

so here we are in the presentation and

to navigate through there's a variety of

ways you can do that you can use the

arrow keys on the keyboard so you can

use the down arrow key and to return you

can use the up arrow key you can also

use the right arrow key to go forward

and the left arrow key to go back you

can use page down to go forward page up

to go back and you can also use a

spacebar to navigate through the

presentation like so with the mouse you

can use the left button to go forward

and if you use the variety button you

get a shortcut menu and you have a

variety of navigation options one of

which is previous and you can also

choose next

now you wouldn't normally do that

because it would bring up a menu on the

screen that will obviously stretch your

viewers safer better just using the left

button to go forward and use one of the

keyboard shortcuts say the up arrow to

go backwards now then you can also use

the HOME key so if you've been

experimenting as I've been doing there

the HOME key will take you back to the

beginning of the presentation and I'll

simply use the page down key just to go

through the entire presentation so you

can see the result there the animations

working as they should do obviously

you're in control of the presentation by

having these bullet points come in one

by one rather than have them all on the

screen at the same time so they're just

slowly work through to the end and

there's the final slide once the

presentation is complete simply press

the Escape key and that will take you

back into PowerPoint editing mode so

there we are that's the process of

creating a simple PowerPoint slideshow

entering the text applying formatting

applying animations and ruining the show

and finally I'm going to save the

presentation and press the f12 key and

you can see it automatically puts the

name which it takes from the title slide

which is fine sweet store I'll simply

click on save and that is now saved away

ready for me to modify it some future

points so I hope you found that overview

helpful in future tutorials I'll be

going through the various aspects of

PowerPoint in much more detail and help

you to create some professional and

engaging presentations I hope so thank

you very much for watching this and I

will see you next time
