1.1 WORK WITH POWERPOINT

Concepts
Microsoft PowerPoint 2019 is a presentation program that produces dynamic
and powerful slide shows containing movies, sounds, text, graphics, and charts.
You can use PowerPoint for formal and informal presentations and meetings, as
well as for presentations on the Internet.

The user interface in PowerPoint 2019 makes creating, presenting, and sharing
presentations simpler and more intuitive. With the use of the Ribbon, tabs, and
galleries, PowerPoint 2019 groups common tasks together in the same place.

Themes allow a consistent look and feel to be applied to the presentation,

applying a common background, font style and layout throughout the presentation
with a single operation. Themes come with variations, which make it simpler to
home in on the look you want. And when you’re working with others, you can add
comments to ask questions and get feedback.

Concepts
Resizing a chart may be a necessary step to improve the visuals and layout of a
slide in your presentation. You can resize either the Chart Area or the Plot Area,

resizes the chart within the Chart Area box. PowerPoint 2019 offers two methods
of resizing a chart, both manually and using specific measurements.

Congratulations! You have reached the end of the ICDL Presentation book.
You have learned about the key skills relating to presentation applications, including:
• Work with presentations and save them in different file formats, locally or in the
cloud.
• Use available help resources to enhance productivity.
• Understand different presentation views and when to use them, choose different
built-in slide layouts, designs and themes.
• Enter, edit and format text and tables in presentations. Recognise good practise in
applying unique titles to slides and creating consistent slide content by using the
master slide.
• Choose, create and format charts to communicate information meaningfully.
• Insert, edit and align pictures and drawn objects.
• Apply animation and transition effects to presentations, and check and correct
presentation content before printing and presenting.
Having reached this stage of your learning, you should now be ready to undertake ICDL
certification testing. For further information on taking this test, please contact your ICDL test
centre.
