Template for a Title slide
Add a Title slide as your first slide. |
|
Add a title and subtitle by clicking in the appropriate
fields and
typing your text.
We'll call our presentation "Victor Hugo". Include your name in the subtitle field. Note that you may modify the font through the Format menu as you would in a word processor. |
|
Insert a New Slide through either the Insert / New Slide menu
or by
clicking on the New Slide button.
Select the outline slide with bulleted entries. |

A number of different views of your presentation will help
you work
effectively. The views may be selected through the view buttons
at
the bottom of your pesentation window or through the View menu at the
top
of your PowerPoint window.

Add a Background to your slides by selecting a slide and choosing Format / Background or simply right-click on the background of a slide and select Background. Change the color of the background and apply the color to all of your slides.
If you wish, add additional information under a bulleted item by indenting it to the next level. |
|
Insert a sound on a slide by recording your voice. Use the menu Insert / Movies and Sounds / Record Sound. A simple sound recorder lets you record from your microphone and give the sound a name. Note that sound inserted in this maner will not be compressed, so it will take up a LOT of space. Much more than mp3 format. There are many other ways to include sound or movies from Clip Organizer, from files, or from a CD. See articles below for including sound as narration (Slide Shor / Record Narration), using mp3 sounds, changing the actin settings of sound buttons, playing sound in the background, etc. |
