SOFT POWER POINT: Introduction
PowerPoint is a
software program to enhance your oral presentation and to keep the audience
focused on your subject. It operates like an old-fashioned slide show, but uses
modern technology in the form of computers and digital
projectors
rather than a slide projector of old.
What is a
PowerPoint Presentation?
Definition:
The term
"PowerPoint presentation" was coined when Microsoft introduced its
software program PowerPoint. PowerPoint is commonly used by presenters
as a digital aid when presenting their topic to an audience. Microsoft has
called this type of software a "presentation", which is a misnomer.
Many presenters often forget that they are the presentation that the audience
came to see, not their PowerPoint presentation.
PowerPoint is
probably the most used (and misused) presentation
software
program. Microsoft estimates that over 30 million PowerPoint presentations are
given daily around the globe.
The 10 Most Common PowerPoint 2007 Terms
This quick list
of the ten most common PowerPoint 2007 terms is a great tool for those new to
PowerPoint or as a refresher to those new only to PowerPoint 2007, as many
things have changed in this new version.
1. Slide
- Slide Show
Each page of a
PowerPoint presentation is called a slide. The default
orientation of the slide is in landscape layout, which means that the slide is
11" wide by 8 1/2" tall. Text, graphics and/or pictures are added to
the slide to enhance its appeal.
Think back to the
days of the old fashioned slide show, using a slide projector. PowerPoint is
an updated version of that kind of slide show. Slide shows can be
comprised of text and graphic objects or be completely covered by a single
picture, as in a photo album.
2. Ribbon
The ribbon is the strip of
buttons across the top of the main window, and it replaces the toolbar in
earlier versions of PowerPoint. Here on the ribbon you will find access to
anything the program has to offer. You no longer have to hunt endlessly through
many menus and sub menus to find the command you want. Commands are located in
logical places now, unlike in earlier versions of all things Microsoft.
3. Contextual
Menus and Tabs
Contextual menus
and tabs
appear when an object is selected. These contextual menus / tabs contain
information or options pertinent to that object only. For example; if you are
working with photos, the contextual menus show all the options available just
for working with photos.
In PowerPoint
2007, these contextual tabs are very much in view, unlike earlier versions,
where these commands could be difficult to locate. This feature is an updated
version of the "shortcut menus" used in earlier versions.
These contextual
tabs do not appear unless they are relevant to the selected object.
4. Slide Layouts - Slide Types
The terms slide
type or slide layout can be used interchangeably. There are several
different types of slides / slide layouts in PowerPoint. Depending on the type
of presentation you are creating, you may use several different slide layouts
or just keep repeating the same few.
Slide types or layouts include -
. Title
slides
. Title
and content slides
. Comparison
slides
. Picture
with caption slides
. And
more
5. Slide Views
- Normal View - is also commonly known as Slide View. It is the main working window in the presentation. The slide is shown full size on the screen.
- Outline View - shows all the text of all slides, in a list on the left of the PowerPoint screen. No graphics are shown in this view. Outline View is useful for editing purposes and can be exported out as a Word document to use as a summary handout.
- Slide Sorter View - is a window in PowerPoint that displays thumbnail versions of all your slides, arranged in horizontal rows. This view is useful to make global changes to several slides at one time. Rearranging or deleting slides is easy to do in Slide Sorter view.
- Notes Pages - shows a smaller version of a slide with an area below for 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.
6. Design Themes
Think of a design themes as a
coordinated packaged deal. When you decorate a room, you use colors and
patterns that all work together. A design theme acts in much the same way. It
is created so that even though different slide
types
can have different layouts and graphics, the whole presentation goes together
as an attractive package. The background color/images and fonts are all
coordinated to achieve a cohesive look.
7. Slide Transition
Slide transitions are the visual
movements as one slide changes to another.
8. Animations
In Microsoft
PowerPoint, animations
are visual effects applied to individual items on the slide such as
graphics, titles or bullet
points, rather than to the slide
itself.
Preset visual effects
can be applied to paragraphs, bullet items and titles from a variety of animation
groupings, namely Subtle, Moderate and Exciting.
