Microsoft Office installed in your PC. Only

 PowerPoint includes all of the features you need

to produce professional-looking presentations.
 When you create a PowerPoint presentation, it is
made up of a series of slides .
 The slides contain the information you want to
communicate with your audience.
 This information can include text, pictures,
charts, video, sound, and more.
 placeholders

 Slides contain placeholders ,which are areas on

the slide that are enclosed by dotted borders.
Placeholders can contain many different items,
including text, pictures, and charts.
 Some placeholders have placeholder text ,or text
that you can replace.
 They also have thumbnail-sized icons that
represent specific commands such as Insert
Picture, Insert Chart, and Insert ClipArt. In
PowerPoint, hover over each icon to see the type of
content you can insert in a placeholder.
 About slide layouts

 Placeholders are arranged in different

layouts that can be applied to existing
slides,
or chosen when you insert a new slide .
 A slide layout arranges your content
using
different types of placeholders,
depending on what kind of information
you might want to include in your
presentation.
 To Use a Blank Slide:

 For more control over your content, you may prefer a blank
slide (a slide without placeholders) over one of the existing
layouts .Blank slides can be customized by adding your own
text boxes, pictures, charts, and more .
 From the Home tab, click the bottom half of the New Slide
command to open the menu of slide layout options.

when you open PowerPoint, and it is
divided into three panes. The
Slides/Outline pane on the left is used to
view the outline of your presentation or
thumbnail pictures of your slides. The
Slide pane in the center displays the
active slide. The Notes pane on the
bottom is used to add notes that can be
used by a speaker during a presentation.

in themes that allow you to easily create professional-looking
presentations without spending a lot of time formatting.

 Adding Animations:

 In PowerPoint you can animate text and

objects such as clip art, shapes, and pictures.
Animation, or movement, on the slide can be
used to draw the audience's attention to
specific content or to make the slide easier to
read.
 The four types of animations
 There are many different animation effects
that you can choose from, and they are
organized into four types:
 Entrance: These control how the object
enters the slide. For example, with the
Bounce animation, the object will "fall" onto
the slide and then bounce several times.
Cont....

 Emphasis: These animations occur while the

object is on the slide, often triggered by a mouse
click. For example, you can set an object to Spin
when you click the mouse.

 Exit: These control how the object exits the slide.

For example, with the Fade animation, the object
will simply fade away.
 Cont….

 Motion Paths: These are similar to Emphasis effects, except that the
object moves within the slide along a predetermined path, like a circle.

 To apply an animation to an object:

 1. Select an object.
 2. Click the Animations tab.
 3. In the Animation group, click the More drop-down arrow to view the
