[faham]

In this topic I will try to share with you basic about Microsoft Power Point 2007. It’s not a full tutorial. I am sharing basic about PowerPoint which will help people those who are new user of this software. After reading and practicing all topics you can able to create, design and animate any presentation beautifully INSHALLAH. Simple read, see the photos and practice. It’s the process of learning by doing.

Let’s Start:

After opening MS Power Point 07 this screen will arrive…(Photo 1)

Click on “Click to add title” and give a title. By same process give a subtitle of the presentation.

Change Layout of the slide:

If you want to change the layout of any slide, right click on the slide, click layout, and change as your need (See Photo 2).

Use of Outline:

Under this option we can organize the point(s) and sub-points.  You can easily promote, demote, move up or move down the points by using outline mode. Practice will clear your concept.

Practice:
Under new slide give a title and write some points under the title (Photo: 4). Now go to the “Outline” view.

Photo: 4

Suppose, under “title one” there are two subtitles, “Subtitle 1” and “Subtitle 2”
Mark these two subtitle using mouse, right click, and then select “Demote”. So these two points will show as a sub-point of “Title one.” (Photo: 5)

By same way you can also promote, move up or move down. Just select the point(s) and select any of these options (promote, demote, move up or move down).

Formatting Text:
 

Picture: 7

In this post we will get some basic idea about formatting text using these tools ( in DARK RED box). Green marked tools are very simple, changing font and font size, bold, Italic, underline, changing color and position of the text. I’m just skipping all of these things’s definition. Let’s go to practice.

Practice:
Select text (Title one to Title Three from slide 2) by holding mouse’s left button and drag, or holding SHIFT and Up/Down arrow or clicking Ctrl+A. Then apply these buttons ( 1 to 13). After applying if any option is not clear to you, see the function which is given billow.
1.   It will just increase or decrease the size of your selected text. You can also do this by using shortcut 'Ctrl + [' and 'Ctrl + ]'
2.   Strikethrough: DIU > > DIU
3.   Text Shadow: Add shadow of selected text.
4.    Just click on the “Spacing Button” and select “very tight” or “very louse”.
5.   Change Case: There are five options. Selected text will be all small letter or all capital letter by clicking “lowercase” or “UPPERCASE”
6.   It just works as like as promote and demote of the point. Select any point and apply.
7.   Line Space: Increase or decries of the selected text’s line space. Click on the button and select 2.0 as a line space. Again select 1. It will clear the function of this button.
8.   Text Direction:  Rotate or stacked your box’s all text. Apply!!
9.   Align Text: It will set your box’s text position. Top, Middle or Bottom.
10.   <sry! I forget to marked it>
11.   Convert to SmartArt: Box will convert into “Smart Art” (Graphical view).
12.   Columns: This option allows you to organize your texts into multiple columns. To practice this option copy any big article and paste into the box then try.
13.   Clear all formatting: This button clear all style and makes default again. To practice it, change the format of text (by changing Font, Font Size, Color etc.) then chick the button. It will come back to default again.

Bullets and Numbering
In previous topic I skipped Bullets and Numbering buttons. These options are widely used that’s why I’m going its details.
You can bullets your point or you can give number as your demand.

Practice:
Create a new slide. Give the title of the slide “Point and Numbering”. In another box write 10 points (Point 1….. to …. Point 10). Now chick down arrow button of “Bullets” (red marked @Photo 8 ) then click “Bulleting and numbering”

Photo: 8

Advance numbering and bulleting option will arrive(picture 9)

Photo: 9

Under “Bulleted” tab,  try to set any picture as a bullet by clicking “Picture”. Also you can able to change the bullet size and color. Or even more customize by using “Customize”
Under “Numbered” tab you can able to start your point form any number. Create new slide and give title “Point and Numbering (page2)”. From previous page “Cut” last 5 points (Point 6 to 10) and “paste” under “Point and Numbering (page2)”.
After applying numbering you can see that Point 6 showing as number one. But we have to make it as a No.6. For that, go to “Numbered” advance option and set “start at: 6” It will look like this (Photo 10).
