Getting
Started
Creating
a New Presentation
When you
first start PowerPoint, the computer will ask you if you wish
to create a new presentation, or open an existing presentation.
- AutoContent
Wizard-There
are several presentations created inside of PowerPoint.
Each of them is designed around a certain type of presentation.
You merely have to pick the presentation that matches your
own and fill in the specifics to make the presentation yours.
- Template-Every
presentation has a background of colors and images. You
can pick the template that suits you best. These templates
can be modified for individual presentations
- Blank
Presentation-The computer will not put in any
pre-made text or background templates. You will insert these
yourself at a later point.
If you
select the Template Option, you are given several choices
of the backgrounds shapes, styles, and colors for your presentation.
By clicking
on one the templates listed, a preview of that template appears
at the right side of the dialog box. Once a template has been
chosen, the computer will prompt you for an AutoLayout.
The slide
is organized into one of many ways. Generally, presentations
start with the Title Page, which allows you to enter a title
and subtitle for your presentation. Other AutoLayouts can
give bulleted lists, tables, charts, organizational charts,
graphics, multimedia files, or any combination of these. There
are also AutoLayouts which give you a blank screen where you
can type just a title or nothing at all.
