A logical presentation and an overall consistent look, punctuated by variations that add weight exactly where it is needed, Practice files can enhance the likelihood that your intended audience For this chapter, use the practice files will receive the message you want to convey.
For practice file download This chapter guides you through procedures related instructions, see the introduction. Chapters 4 through 8 of this book are about working with the various types of slide content. A slide master could have only one slide layout, but most have unique slide layouts for slides that display the presentation title, section titles, and various combinations of slide titles and content, and a blank slide with only the background. The slide layouts that are available in a presenta- tion are displayed on the New Slide menu.
In a new presentation based on a standard PowerPoint template, a slide you add after the title slide has the Title And Content layout, and a slide added after a slide other than the title slide has the layout of the preceding slide.
To add a slide based on the default slide layout 1. Select the slide after which you want to add the new slide.
If you add content to a slide and then realize that the content would work better with a different layout, you can change the slide layout by clicking the Layout arrow in the Slides group, and then clicking the slide layout you want to apply. In the gallery, click a slide layout thumbnail to add a slide based on that slide layout.
Within a presentation, you can duplicate an existing slide to reuse it as the basis for a new slide. You can then customize the duplicated slide instead of having to create it from scratch. The slide takes on the formatting of its new presenta- tion unless you specify otherwise. For the import process to work smoothly, format the document content that you want to port into the presentation as headings.
PowerPoint converts some styles into slide headings, converts some styles into bullet points, and ignores other styles. A slide created from an imported outline The following table illustrates how PowerPoint converts Word document styles to PowerPoint slide elements.
In Outline view, click the slide header in the Outline pane. To select multiple slides 1. In Normal view, Outline view, or Slide Sorter view, click the first slide you want to select. To insert a copy of a slide immediately following the original slide 1. In the Thumbnails pane, right-click the slide that you want to copy, and then click Duplicate Slide.
To insert a copy of one or more slides anywhere in a presentation 1. Display the presentation in Normal view or Slide Sorter view. Repeat step 3 to paste additional copies of the slide or slides into the presentation.
To insert a slide from another presentation 1. Open the source and destination presentations in PowerPoint. Display each presentation in Normal view or Slide Sorter view. Display the two PowerPoint windows side by side. In the source presentation, select the slide or slides you want to copy. Drag the selection to the destination presentation.
A horizontal line between slide thumbnails in Normal view or a vertical line between thumbnails in Slide Sorter view indicates the location at which PowerPoint will insert the slides. PowerPoint creates copies of the slides and applies the destination theme to the copies.
Display the destination presentation in Normal view. On the New Slide menu, below the gallery, click Reuse Slides to open the Reuse Slides pane on the right side of the screen. Click the Browse button, and then click Browse File. In the Browse dialog box, 3 browse to the folder that contains the presentation you want to use slides from, and then double-click the presentation.

You can edit the content of hidden slides When you select a hidden slide, the Hide Slide button on the Slide Show tab is shaded to indicate that the command is in effect. You can unhide a slide to include it in the slide show. To hide or unhide slides 1. Select the slide or slides you want to hide or unhide.
Right-click a single slide, and then click Delete Slide. Select the slide or slides you want to delete. Divide presentations into sections To make it easier to organize and format a longer presentation, you can divide it into sections. In both Normal view and Slide Sorter view, sections are designated by titles above their slides.
They do not appear in other views, and they do not create slides or otherwise interrupt the flow of the presentation. Some templates include a slide layout, similar to the title slide layout, that is specifi- cally designed for section divider slides. If you divide a long presentation into sections based on topic, you might want to transfer your section titles to these slides to provide guidance to the audience or to mark logical points in the presentation to take breaks or answer questions.
To create a section 1. In Normal view or Slide Sorter view, select the slide that you want to be first in the new section. On the Home tab, in the Slides group, click the Section button, and then click Add Section to insert a section title named Untitled Section before the selected slide. To rename a section 1.

In Normal view or Slide Sorter view, click the arrow that precedes the section title. To collapse or expand all slide sections 1. Rearrange slides and sections After you have added several slides to a presentation, you might want to rearrange their order so that they more effectively communicate your message.
You can rearrange a presentation by moving individual slides or entire sections of slides. In Normal view or Slide Sorter view, drag the slide thumbnail to its new posi- tion. Notice as you drag that the other thumbnails move to indicate where the selected slide will appear when you release the mouse button. Right-click the slide thumbnail, and then click Cut. Right-click between the other slide thumbnails where you want to move the slide.
To move a section within a presentation 1. Click the title of the section of slides you want to move, to select all the slides in the section. Drag the section to its new location. Right-click the section title, and then click Move Section Up or Move Section Down to move the section and all its slides before the preceding section or after the following section.
Click the title of the section of slides you want to ungroup. Right-click the section title, and then click Remove Section. To merge all sections by removing all section dividers 1. To delete a section of slides 1.
Click the title of the section of slides you want to delete, to select all the slides in the section. Press the Delete key. If the selected section is collapsed, PowerPoint prompts you to confirm the deletion 2. Even a blank presentation has a theme: the Office theme, which has a white slide background, a standard set of text and accent colors, and the Office font set, which uses Calibri Light for headings and Calibri for body text.
PowerPoint and the other Office apps share a common set of themes and theme elements. This enables you to easily produce coordinated print and presentation materials. Approximately 30 of these themes are available to you from the PowerPoint Themes gallery.
Many of the themes come with predefined variants, which have a dif- ferent color scheme or background graphic. The built-in Office themes for PowerPoint Each thumbnail in the PowerPoint Themes gallery displays a sample of the font set in the form of an uppercase and lowercase letter A Aa and the color scheme in the form of colored blocks over the default title slide.
Title slides frequently have back- ground graphics that set the tone for the presentation. The standard slides associated with the theme will often have a more-subtle background graphic that coordinates with the title slide background.
You can choose to hide the background graphic and use only a colored background if you want to. You can change the theme that is applied to an entire presentation or to only one sec- tion of the presentation.
If you like the colors of one theme, the fonts of another, and the effects of another, you can mix and match theme elements. You can also create your own themes.
Simply point to any theme and pause. PowerPoint temporarily applies the selected formatting to the slide 3 in the Slide pane. This makes it easy to try different themes and theme elements until you find the ones you want. To apply a standard theme to a presentation 1. On the Design tab, in the Themes group, click the More button below the scroll arrows to display the menu that includes the Office theme gallery and any custom templates on your computer.

Create a section that contains the slides you want to have a different theme. Click the section header to select the section.
Apply the theme or theme element. Change slide backgrounds The presentation theme includes a standard background. The background might be a color or it might include a background graphic. You make these changes in the Format Background pane. A solid color background is a good choice for readability, but if you want to add some interest without a lot of distraction, you can use a color gradient in which a solid color gradually changes to another.
PowerPoint offers several light-to-dark and dark-to-light gradient patterns based on the color scheme. Each change in color within a gradient is controlled by a gradient stop. For each gradient stop, you can specify the location and specific color including the transparency and brightness of the color.
A color gradient can have from 2 to 10 gradient stops. PowerPoint comes with several built-in textures that you can easily apply to the background of slides. For a dramatic effect, you can even incorporate a picture of your own, although these are best reserved for small areas of the slide rather than the entire background. Click any pattern to preview it on the slide To display the Format Background pane 1. On the Design tab, in the Customize group, click the Format Background button.
To close the Format Background pane 1. To apply a background change to all slides 1. In the Format Background pane, configure the slide background formatting you want.

As you gain more instructions, see the introduction. This chapter guides you through procedures related to animating text and pictures on slides, customizing anima- tion effects, adding audio and video content to slides, compressing media to decrease file size, and adding and managing slide transitions.
You can animate any individual objects on a slide, including text containers, pictures, and shapes. Thoughtfully designed animations can be very informative, particularly for audience members who are more receptive to visual input than to auditory input. Animations have the added benefit of providing a consistent message with or without a presenter to discuss or externally illustrate a process.
The elements of a multipart animation You can configure four types of animations: the appearance, movement, emphasis, and disappearance of objects on the slide.
There are multiple options within these four categories. A few more animation effects are available for text than for other slide objects. It is visible during the development process, but not when you present the slide show. It then appears on the slide in the manner specified by the entrance effect.
Have fun experimenting with the different effects Clicking More Entrance Effects at the bottom of the Animation menu opens a dialog box that displays all the available entrance animations by category to 8 help you choose an appropriate effect.
The emphasis effects that are available in the Animation gallery are illustrated in yellow. Effects range from subtle to bold Clicking More Emphasis Effects at the bottom of the Animation menu opens a dialog box that displays all the available emphasis animations by category.
A few simple motion paths are available from the Animation gallery, but a surprisingly large variety is avail- able from the dialog box that opens when you click More Motion Paths at the bottom of the Animation menu.
The exit effects that are available in the Animation gallery are illustrated in red. Choose an effect that suits the style of your presentation Additional exit effects are available from the Change Exit Effect dialog box. Many animations have options that you can configure, such as the direction, speed, size, or color.
For example, when you config- ure an entrance effect for a bulleted list, you can specify whether to have the entire list enter the slide at the same time, or to have only one bulleted item enter at a time.
After you choose an effect, the applicable options are available on the Effect Options menu. As you assign animations to slide objects, numbers appear on the objects to specify the order of the animation effects. The numbers are visible only when the Animation tab is active. After all the elements are in place, animate them in the order you want the anima- tions to occur.
Ensure that the time you put into creating an animation has value to you and to your audience members. Consider using animations to provide subliminal information—for example, in a multipart presentation, use one consistent entrance effect for the part opener titles to draw the attention of the audience members and cue them to a change of subject. For greater impact, display an image related to the current list item, and replace the image as each new list item appears.
Make this even more informative by displaying a detailed breakdown of the chart data for each category as you display its chart wedge. A more difficult but often worthwhile use of slide object animation is to provide a visual image of a process as you describe it.
To animate an object on a slide 1. Display the slide in the Slide pane, and select the object that you want to ani- mate, or its container.
For example, if you want to animate the entrance of a bulleted list, select the text box that contains the bulleted list. On the Animations tab, in the Animation group, click the More button to display the Animation menu and gallery. PowerPoint displays a live preview of the selected animation effect and adds an animation number adjacent to the object.
A star appears next to the slide thumbnail to indicate that the slide contains either an animation or a transition. If this is distracting to you, you can turn off this feature by clicking the Preview arrow in the Preview group on the Animations tab and then clicking AutoPreview to remove the check mark that indicates the option is turned on.
On the slide or in the Animation Pane, click the animation number. To display or hide the Animation Pane 1. To configure animation options 1. Apply the animation, or select a previously applied animation. On the Animations tab, in the Animation group, click the Effect Options button.
If the button is unavailable, the animation has no configurable options. On the Effect Options menu, click one option in each section. To apply multiple animation effects to one object 1. Apply the first animation effect and configure any options.
Select the object not the animation. The existing animation information is highlighted on the Animations tab and in the Animation Pane. In the Add Animation gallery, click the additional animation you want to apply.
To copy a set of animation effects from one object to another object 1. Select the source object. Point to the object you want to format. When a paintbrush appears to the right of the cursor, click the object to apply the formatting.
If you click the Animation Painter button one time, you can copy the formatting to one other object. If you double-click the Animation Painter button, you can copy the formatting to many other objects, until you click the button again or press Esc to deactivate it. To preview animations 1. To remove animation effects from slide objects 1. However, for those occasions when you want a presentation with pizzazz, you can customize the animation effects.
The options vary depending on the type of animation you apply. For example, you can specify that clicking a different object on the slide will animate the selected object.
A very helpful tool when managing multiple animated objects on a slide is the Animation Pane. Each numbered animation on the slide has a correspond- ing entry in the Animation Pane that provides information and options for managing the animations. If the left sides of two indicators align, those animations start at the same time. If the left side of an indicator aligns with the right side of the previous indicator, the animations run in order.
A square indicates that the animation has a fixed duration; a triangular edge indicates that the duration is set to Auto. Each animation is an individual event. You control these settings either from the Advanced Animation and Timing groups on the Animations tab, or from the Animation Pane. Clicking an animation in the Animation Pane selects the animation and displays an arrow to the right of the animation timing indicators.
Clicking the arrow displays a menu of actions. Some of the settings available through the Animation Pane Effect Options menu To open the effect-specific dialog box for an animation 1. To change the order of animation effects on a slide 1. On the slide or in the Animation Pane, select the animation you want to reorder.
In the Animation Pane, select the animation or animations that you want to move. Drag the selection to the new position in the Animation Pane. The animation numbers change to reflect the new positions. In the Animation Pane, drag the colored indicator bar to the starting point you want. To set the duration of a selected animation 1.
In the Animation Pane, double-click the animation to open the animation- specific effect options dialog box. On the Effect tab, click the Sound list, and then click the sound effect you want to assign to the animation. Click the speaker icon to the right of the Sound list to display the volume slider, and set the volume level of the sound effect.
Click OK to close the dialog box. Bookmark points of interest in media clips Bookmarks are a useful new feature for PowerPoint users who incorporate audio, video, and animation into presentations.
You can insert bookmarks into audio and video clips to identify locations either that you want to be able to quickly get to or that you want to use as triggers for other events. For example, you could create an animation that visually describes a process, and record a narration that verbally describes the process. Instead of setting up a series of timing points to synchronize the narration and animation, you could insert bookmarks at key points in the narrative audio clip that trigger specific segments of the animation to play.
As another example, you could embed a video on a slide, and record audio comments about certain parts of the video. Then you can insert bookmarks at those points of the video to trigger the playback of the relevant audio comments.
Display the slide in Normal view and select the audio or video clip to display the Audio Tools or Video Tools tab group. Play the clip by clicking the Play button on the playback toolbar or in the Preview group on the Playback tool tab. At the point that you want to insert a bookmark, click the Add Bookmark button in the Bookmarks group on the Playback tool tab. To insert additional bookmarks, repeat steps 2 and 3. Bookmarks in audio or video clips are indicated by circles on the playback toolbar.
Pointing to a bookmark on the toolbar displays a ScreenTip that includes the bookmark name. You can select a bookmark as the starting point for an animation, from the Trigger list on the Animations tab. For example, you could run a presentation that provides basic information and icebreakers during the time leading up to your actual presentation. If you plan to distribute a presentation electronically for people to watch on their own, you might want to add audio narration to an animation, or provide narration for the entire presentation.
You can add prerecorded audio content to a presentation, or record your own content directly within PowerPoint. However, you can download royalty-free audio music and sound effects from many online sources. Some of these require that you credit the website as the source, so be sure to read the website fine print. When you locate an audio clip that you want to use, you can download it to your computer and follow the instructions in this topic to use it in a PowerPoint presentation.
When you add audio to a slide rather than to an animation or transition , the audio icon shaped like a speaker and an accompanying trigger icon appear on the slide, and the trigger event appears in the Animation Pane. The playback controls are visible only when the audio icon is selected.
To insert an audio clip onto a slide 1. Save the audio clip on your computer or on a network-connected location. In the Insert Audio dialog box, browse to and select the audio file, and then click the Insert button. In File Explorer, open the folder that contains the audio file. Arrange the File Explorer and PowerPoint windows on your screen so that both are visible.

A logical presentation and an overall consistent look, punctuated by variations that add weight exactly where it is needed, Practice files can enhance the likelihood that your intended audience For this chapter, use the practice files will receive the message you want to convey.
For practice file download This chapter guides you through procedures related instructions, see the introduction. Chapters 4 through 8 of this book are about working with the various types of slide content. A slide master could have only one slide layout, but most have unique slide layouts for slides that display the presentation title, section titles, and various combinations of slide titles and content, and a blank slide with only the background.
The slide layouts that are available in a presenta- tion are displayed on the New Slide menu. In a new presentation based on a standard PowerPoint template, a slide you add after the title slide has the Title And Content layout, and a slide added after a slide other than the title slide has the layout of the preceding slide.
To add a slide based on the default slide layout 1. Select the slide after which you want to add the new slide. If you add content to a slide and then realize that the content would work better with a different layout, you can change the slide layout by clicking the Layout arrow in the Slides group, and then clicking the slide layout you want to apply.
In the gallery, click a slide layout thumbnail to add a slide based on that slide layout. Within a presentation, you can duplicate an existing slide to reuse it as the basis for a new slide. You can then customize the duplicated slide instead of having to create it from scratch. The slide takes on the formatting of its new presenta- tion unless you specify otherwise. For the import process to work smoothly, format the document content that you want to port into the presentation as headings.
PowerPoint converts some styles into slide headings, converts some styles into bullet points, and ignores other styles. A slide created from an imported outline The following table illustrates how PowerPoint converts Word document styles to PowerPoint slide elements.
In Outline view, click the slide header in the Outline pane. To select multiple slides 1. In Normal view, Outline view, or Slide Sorter view, click the first slide you want to select.
To insert a copy of a slide immediately following the original slide 1. In the Thumbnails pane, right-click the slide that you want to copy, and then click Duplicate Slide. To insert a copy of one or more slides anywhere in a presentation 1. Display the presentation in Normal view or Slide Sorter view.
Repeat step 3 to paste additional copies of the slide or slides into the presentation. To insert a slide from another presentation 1. Open the source and destination presentations in PowerPoint. Display each presentation in Normal view or Slide Sorter view. Display the two PowerPoint windows side by side.
In the source presentation, select the slide or slides you want to copy. Drag the selection to the destination presentation. A horizontal line between slide thumbnails in Normal view or a vertical line between thumbnails in Slide Sorter view indicates the location at which PowerPoint will insert the slides. PowerPoint creates copies of the slides and applies the destination theme to the copies.
Display the destination presentation in Normal view. On the New Slide menu, below the gallery, click Reuse Slides to open the Reuse Slides pane on the right side of the screen. Click the Browse button, and then click Browse File. In the Browse dialog box, 3 browse to the folder that contains the presentation you want to use slides from, and then double-click the presentation.
In the Select a Slide Library window, browse to the slide library that contains the slide or slides you want to insert. The Reuse Slides pane displays thumbnails of the available slides. In the Reuse Slides pane, click the thumbnail of each slide you want to use to insert that slide into your presentation. If you want the slide to retain the formatting from the source presenta- tion instead, select the Keep Source Formatting check box at the bottom of the Reuse Slides pane.
Close the Reuse Slides pane. Enter the content that you want to appear on the slides and any other content in a document. Review the styles applied to the content you want to include in the presentation.
Save and close the document. To create a presentation by importing a Word document 1. On the Open page of the Backstage view, click Browse. Browse to the folder that contains the Word document that contains the slide title and bullet point information. Double-click the document to create a new presentation. Select all the slides in the new presentation, and then on the Home tab, in the Slides group, click the Reset button. Apply the design template you want.
Select the slide after which you want to insert the new slides. On the New Slide menu, below the gallery, click Slides from Outline to open the Insert Outline dialog box, which resembles the Open dialog box.
Use standard Windows techniques to browse to the folder that contains the Word document you want to use for the slide titles and content. Double-click the document to insert slides based on its content. To store slides in a slide library, follow these steps: 1. In the Publish Slides dialog box, select the check box of each slide you want to publish. Click the Select All button to select the entire presentation. In the Publish To box, enter or paste the URL of the slide library or click the Browse button and browse to the slide library.
Each slide is published individually 4. Click Publish. They remain available from the Thumbnails pane, but their thumbnails are dimmed and slide numbers crossed through with a backslash. You can edit the content of hidden slides When you select a hidden slide, the Hide Slide button on the Slide Show tab is shaded to indicate that the command is in effect.
You can unhide a slide to include it in the slide show. To hide or unhide slides 1. Select the slide or slides you want to hide or unhide. Right-click a single slide, and then click Delete Slide.
Select the slide or slides you want to delete. Divide presentations into sections To make it easier to organize and format a longer presentation, you can divide it into sections. In both Normal view and Slide Sorter view, sections are designated by titles above their slides. They do not appear in other views, and they do not create slides or otherwise interrupt the flow of the presentation. Some templates include a slide layout, similar to the title slide layout, that is specifi- cally designed for section divider slides.
If you divide a long presentation into sections based on topic, you might want to transfer your section titles to these slides to provide guidance to the audience or to mark logical points in the presentation to take breaks or answer questions.
To create a section 1. In Normal view or Slide Sorter view, select the slide that you want to be first in the new section. On the Home tab, in the Slides group, click the Section button, and then click Add Section to insert a section title named Untitled Section before the selected slide. To rename a section 1. In the Section name box, replace or edit the existing section name, and then click the Rename button. To collapse or expand one slide section 1. In Normal view or Slide Sorter view, click the arrow that precedes the section title.
To collapse or expand all slide sections 1. Rearrange slides and sections After you have added several slides to a presentation, you might want to rearrange their order so that they more effectively communicate your message. You can rearrange a presentation by moving individual slides or entire sections of slides. In Normal view or Slide Sorter view, drag the slide thumbnail to its new posi- tion. Notice as you drag that the other thumbnails move to indicate where the selected slide will appear when you release the mouse button.
Right-click the slide thumbnail, and then click Cut. Right-click between the other slide thumbnails where you want to move the slide. To move a section within a presentation 1. Click the title of the section of slides you want to move, to select all the slides in the section.
Drag the section to its new location. Right-click the section title, and then click Move Section Up or Move Section Down to move the section and all its slides before the preceding section or after the following section. Click the title of the section of slides you want to ungroup. Right-click the section title, and then click Remove Section. To merge all sections by removing all section dividers 1.
To delete a section of slides 1. Click the title of the section of slides you want to delete, to select all the slides in the section. Press the Delete key. If the selected section is collapsed, PowerPoint prompts you to confirm the deletion 2. Even a blank presentation has a theme: the Office theme, which has a white slide background, a standard set of text and accent colors, and the Office font set, which uses Calibri Light for headings and Calibri for body text.
PowerPoint and the other Office apps share a common set of themes and theme elements. This enables you to easily produce coordinated print and presentation materials. Approximately 30 of these themes are available to you from the PowerPoint Themes gallery.
Many of the themes come with predefined variants, which have a dif- ferent color scheme or background graphic. The built-in Office themes for PowerPoint Each thumbnail in the PowerPoint Themes gallery displays a sample of the font set in the form of an uppercase and lowercase letter A Aa and the color scheme in the form of colored blocks over the default title slide.
Title slides frequently have back- ground graphics that set the tone for the presentation. The standard slides associated with the theme will often have a more-subtle background graphic that coordinates with the title slide background.
You can choose to hide the background graphic and use only a colored background if you want to. You can change the theme that is applied to an entire presentation or to only one sec- tion of the presentation. If you like the colors of one theme, the fonts of another, and the effects of another, you can mix and match theme elements.
You can also create your own themes. Simply point to any theme and pause. PowerPoint temporarily applies the selected formatting to the slide 3 in the Slide pane. This makes it easy to try different themes and theme elements until you find the ones you want. To apply a standard theme to a presentation 1. On the Design tab, in the Themes group, click the More button below the scroll arrows to display the menu that includes the Office theme gallery and any custom templates on your computer.
Point to thumbnails in the gallery to display the theme names in tooltips and preview the effect of applying the themes to your presentation. Choose a theme that enhances the content of your presentation 4. Click a theme thumbnail to apply that theme to the entire presentation.
On the Design tab, in the Variants group, click a variant thumbnail. On the Design tab, in the Variants group, click the More button below the scroll arrows to expand the Variants menu. On the Variants menu, click Colors, and then click the color set you want to apply.
To change the font set of the presentation 1. On the Variants menu, click Fonts, and then click the font set you want to apply. On the Variants menu, click Effects, and then click the effect style you want to apply. Create a section that contains the slides you want to have a different theme. Click the section header to select the section. Apply the theme or theme element. Change slide backgrounds The presentation theme includes a standard background.
The background might be a color or it might include a background graphic. You make these changes in the Format Background pane. A solid color background is a good choice for readability, but if you want to add some interest without a lot of distraction, you can use a color gradient in which a solid color gradually changes to another.
PowerPoint offers several light-to-dark and dark-to-light gradient patterns based on the color scheme. Each change in color within a gradient is controlled by a gradient stop. For each gradient stop, you can specify the location and specific color including the transparency and brightness of the color.
A color gradient can have from 2 to 10 gradient stops. PowerPoint comes with several built-in textures that you can easily apply to the background of slides. For a dramatic effect, you can even incorporate a picture of your own, although these are best reserved for small areas of the slide rather than the entire background.
Click any pattern to preview it on the slide To display the Format Background pane 1. On the Design tab, in the Customize group, click the Format Background button. To close the Format Background pane 1. To apply a background change to all slides 1. In the Format Background pane, configure the slide background formatting you want.

Click the Foreground button, and then select the primary pattern color. Click the Background button, and then select the secondary pattern color.
Add two slides after the title slide. First, add a slide that has the default Title and Content layout. Then add a slide that has the Two Content layout. Add 7 more slides, so you have a total of 10 slides. Use each slide layout at least once. In Normal view, delete slide 3. Switch to Slide Sorter view, and then delete slides 5 through 8. The presentation now contains five slides. Add seven slides to the end of the presentation by inserting the content of the ImportOutline document.
Use the Reuse Slides feature to insert the first slide from the ReuseSlides presentation as slide 2 in the AddRemoveSlides presentation. Then close the Reuse Slides pane. Insert a duplicate copy of slide 2 as slide 3. Hide slide 2, and then delete slide 8. Save and close the presentation. Change the name of the first section to Introduction. Switch to Slide Sorter view, and then change the name of the second section to Process.

Apply a gradient fill background to slide 1. Apply the custom gradient fill to all slides in the presentation. For practice file download is best to err on the conservative side. As you gain more instructions, see the introduction.
This chapter guides you through procedures related to animating text and pictures on slides, customizing anima- tion effects, adding audio and video content to slides, compressing media to decrease file size, and adding and managing slide transitions.
You can animate any individual objects on a slide, including text containers, pictures, and shapes. Thoughtfully designed animations can be very informative, particularly for audience members who are more receptive to visual input than to auditory input.
Animations have the added benefit of providing a consistent message with or without a presenter to discuss or externally illustrate a process. The elements of a multipart animation You can configure four types of animations: the appearance, movement, emphasis, and disappearance of objects on the slide. There are multiple options within these four categories. A few more animation effects are available for text than for other slide objects. It is visible during the development process, but not when you present the slide show.
It then appears on the slide in the manner specified by the entrance effect. Have fun experimenting with the different effects Clicking More Entrance Effects at the bottom of the Animation menu opens a dialog box that displays all the available entrance animations by category to 8 help you choose an appropriate effect. The emphasis effects that are available in the Animation gallery are illustrated in yellow. Effects range from subtle to bold Clicking More Emphasis Effects at the bottom of the Animation menu opens a dialog box that displays all the available emphasis animations by category.
A few simple motion paths are available from the Animation gallery, but a surprisingly large variety is avail- able from the dialog box that opens when you click More Motion Paths at the bottom of the Animation menu. The exit effects that are available in the Animation gallery are illustrated in red. Choose an effect that suits the style of your presentation Additional exit effects are available from the Change Exit Effect dialog box.
Many animations have options that you can configure, such as the direction, speed, size, or color. For example, when you config- ure an entrance effect for a bulleted list, you can specify whether to have the entire list enter the slide at the same time, or to have only one bulleted item enter at a time. After you choose an effect, the applicable options are available on the Effect Options menu. As you assign animations to slide objects, numbers appear on the objects to specify the order of the animation effects.
The numbers are visible only when the Animation tab is active. After all the elements are in place, animate them in the order you want the anima- tions to occur. Ensure that the time you put into creating an animation has value to you and to your audience members. Consider using animations to provide subliminal information—for example, in a multipart presentation, use one consistent entrance effect for the part opener titles to draw the attention of the audience members and cue them to a change of subject.
For greater impact, display an image related to the current list item, and replace the image as each new list item appears. Make this even more informative by displaying a detailed breakdown of the chart data for each category as you display its chart wedge. A more difficult but often worthwhile use of slide object animation is to provide a visual image of a process as you describe it. To animate an object on a slide 1. Display the slide in the Slide pane, and select the object that you want to ani- mate, or its container.
For example, if you want to animate the entrance of a bulleted list, select the text box that contains the bulleted list.
On the Animations tab, in the Animation group, click the More button to display the Animation menu and gallery. PowerPoint displays a live preview of the selected animation effect and adds an animation number adjacent to the object. A star appears next to the slide thumbnail to indicate that the slide contains either an animation or a transition.
If this is distracting to you, you can turn off this feature by clicking the Preview arrow in the Preview group on the Animations tab and then clicking AutoPreview to remove the check mark that indicates the option is turned on. On the slide or in the Animation Pane, click the animation number. To display or hide the Animation Pane 1. To configure animation options 1. Apply the animation, or select a previously applied animation.
On the Animations tab, in the Animation group, click the Effect Options button. If the button is unavailable, the animation has no configurable options. On the Effect Options menu, click one option in each section. To apply multiple animation effects to one object 1.
Apply the first animation effect and configure any options. Select the object not the animation. The existing animation information is highlighted on the Animations tab and in the Animation Pane.
In the Add Animation gallery, click the additional animation you want to apply. To copy a set of animation effects from one object to another object 1. Select the source object. Point to the object you want to format. When a paintbrush appears to the right of the cursor, click the object to apply the formatting. If you click the Animation Painter button one time, you can copy the formatting to one other object.
If you double-click the Animation Painter button, you can copy the formatting to many other objects, until you click the button again or press Esc to deactivate it.
To preview animations 1. To remove animation effects from slide objects 1. However, for those occasions when you want a presentation with pizzazz, you can customize the animation effects. The options vary depending on the type of animation you apply. For example, you can specify that clicking a different object on the slide will animate the selected object. A very helpful tool when managing multiple animated objects on a slide is the Animation Pane.
Each numbered animation on the slide has a correspond- ing entry in the Animation Pane that provides information and options for managing the animations. If the left sides of two indicators align, those animations start at the same time.
If the left side of an indicator aligns with the right side of the previous indicator, the animations run in order. A square indicates that the animation has a fixed duration; a triangular edge indicates that the duration is set to Auto.
Each animation is an individual event. You control these settings either from the Advanced Animation and Timing groups on the Animations tab, or from the Animation Pane. Clicking an animation in the Animation Pane selects the animation and displays an arrow to the right of the animation timing indicators. Clicking the arrow displays a menu of actions. Some of the settings available through the Animation Pane Effect Options menu To open the effect-specific dialog box for an animation 1.
To change the order of animation effects on a slide 1. On the slide or in the Animation Pane, select the animation you want to reorder. In the Animation Pane, select the animation or animations that you want to move. Drag the selection to the new position in the Animation Pane. The animation numbers change to reflect the new positions. In the Animation Pane, drag the colored indicator bar to the starting point you want. To set the duration of a selected animation 1.
In the Animation Pane, double-click the animation to open the animation- specific effect options dialog box. On the Effect tab, click the Sound list, and then click the sound effect you want to assign to the animation. Click the speaker icon to the right of the Sound list to display the volume slider, and set the volume level of the sound effect. Click OK to close the dialog box.
Bookmark points of interest in media clips Bookmarks are a useful new feature for PowerPoint users who incorporate audio, video, and animation into presentations. You can insert bookmarks into audio and video clips to identify locations either that you want to be able to quickly get to or that you want to use as triggers for other events. For example, you could create an animation that visually describes a process, and record a narration that verbally describes the process.
Instead of setting up a series of timing points to synchronize the narration and animation, you could insert bookmarks at key points in the narrative audio clip that trigger specific segments of the animation to play.
As another example, you could embed a video on a slide, and record audio comments about certain parts of the video. Then you can insert bookmarks at those points of the video to trigger the playback of the relevant audio comments. Display the slide in Normal view and select the audio or video clip to display the Audio Tools or Video Tools tab group. Play the clip by clicking the Play button on the playback toolbar or in the Preview group on the Playback tool tab.
At the point that you want to insert a bookmark, click the Add Bookmark button in the Bookmarks group on the Playback tool tab. To insert additional bookmarks, repeat steps 2 and 3. Bookmarks in audio or video clips are indicated by circles on the playback toolbar. Pointing to a bookmark on the toolbar displays a ScreenTip that includes the bookmark name.
You can select a bookmark as the starting point for an animation, from the Trigger list on the Animations tab. For example, you could run a presentation that provides basic information and icebreakers during the time leading up to your actual presentation. If you plan to distribute a presentation electronically for people to watch on their own, you might want to add audio narration to an animation, or provide narration for the entire presentation.
You can add prerecorded audio content to a presentation, or record your own content directly within PowerPoint. However, you can download royalty-free audio music and sound effects from many online sources. Some of these require that you credit the website as the source, so be sure to read the website fine print.
When you locate an audio clip that you want to use, you can download it to your computer and follow the instructions in this topic to use it in a PowerPoint presentation. When you add audio to a slide rather than to an animation or transition , the audio icon shaped like a speaker and an accompanying trigger icon appear on the slide, and the trigger event appears in the Animation Pane. The playback controls are visible only when the audio icon is selected. To insert an audio clip onto a slide 1.
Save the audio clip on your computer or on a network-connected location. In the Insert Audio dialog box, browse to and select the audio file, and then click the Insert button.
In File Explorer, open the folder that contains the audio file. Arrange the File Explorer and PowerPoint windows on your screen so that both are visible. Drag the audio file from File Explorer to the slide. To record audio directly onto a slide 1. In the Name box, enter a name to uniquely identify the recording. Then click the Record button labeled with a red circle. Speak or otherwise provide the audio that you want to record.
When you finish, click the Stop button labeled with a blue square. The audio icon and an accompanying trigger icon appear in the center of the slide, and the trigger event appears in the Animation Pane. It might be necessary to move one or more out of the way to get to an earlier clip. To restrict the playback of an audio clip to a specific segment 8 1. Select the audio icon. You can trim audio from the beginning and end of the clip, but not from the middle 2.
If you drag the marker near the point at which you paused the playback, the marker snaps to that location. When you finish, click OK to close the Trim Audio dialog box.
You can re-trim or restore the audio clip at any time. To fade into or out of an audio clip 1. To modify or hide the audio icon 1. When the playback controls appear, click the Play button. To automatically start audio playback 1.
Then select the Loop until Stopped check box. Instead, allow the user to play the audio content after the tool has finished communicating the slide content. To prevent an audio clip from stopping when the slide changes 1. Add video content to slides Sometimes the best way to ensure that your audience understands your message is to show a video.
For example, if your company has developed a short advertising video, it makes more sense to include the video in a presentation about marketing plans than to try to describe it by using bullet points or even pictures.
To save you the trouble of switching between PowerPoint and a video player, you can embed a video recording directly onto a slide, and then play the video as part of presenting the slide show.
This is a much smoother way of presenting information from multiple sources than switching between them. PowerPoint uses the embed code to locate and play the video. As long as the video remains available in its original location and you have an active Internet connection , you will be able to access and play the video from the slide at any time. You can move and resize it, display it in a frame of your choice, and even adjust the brightness or color contrast.
So, for example, if you change the aspect ratio of the video representation on the slide, imagery in the video might appear to be skewed. When working with local videos that you embed rather than online videos that you link to, you can fade into and out from the video playback, and manage the content of the video by trimming it to play only a specific portion.
You can insert bookmarks to use as triggers for other events for example, you might display a list of selling points as each is presented in the advertising video. When playing back a video, you can display it at the embedded size or full screen. In the Insert Video window, click the source of the video that you want to insert, and then follow the process to insert a video from the selected source.
In the Insert Video dialog box, browse to and select the video file, and then click the Insert button. Click the video image one time. Selection handles appear around the video image, the playback toolbar appears below it, and the Video Tools tab group appears on the ribbon. To move the video image on the slide 1. Smart guides might appear on the slide to help you align the video with other objects. To resize the video image on the slide and retain its aspect ratio 1. Smart guides appear on the slide to help you align the video with other objects.
To format the video image on the slide 1. Select the video, and then apply formatting from the Format tool tab just as you would for a picture. Select the video. On the Playback tool tab, in the Video Options group, click the Volume button. Compress media to decrease file size Trimming an audio or video clip affects only the playback of the media on the slide, not the original media clip.
The original media clip is stored in its entirety as part of the presentation, and you can re-trim or restore the media clip at any time. You can decrease the size of a PowerPoint file that contains trimmed media clips by discarding the unused portions of the clips.
PowerPoint offers three compression configurations designed to balance size and quality.

А для обращения цветовой язык октопауков пригоден больше любого другого. Вторник выбрали потому, - начал инженер.
