Welcome to Office 2013, video project number 17.5.
Hey, last video, we saw how to create a PowerPoint
presentation from a Word document.
So in this video, we just want to see some basic formatting
of a PowerPoint presentation.
And then in our next project, 18,
we'll see a bunch of cool PowerPoint tricks.
So here's the file we created last video,
PowerPoint Class Notes.
Double click and open it up.
OK, there's is our PowerPoint presentation, totally blank.
Now we're just going to do a couple basic things here.
And the first one is quite dramatic.
If you've never seen how to use PowerPoint, because PowerPoint
looks fancy but it's really easy to create
a beautiful PowerPoint presentation.
I'm going to go to the Design Ribbon tab.
And there's a bunch of themes.
And watch this, you hover.
And it will give you a little screen tip that says what it is
and a preview.
I'm going to go ahead and there's a more button, boop.
And there's a bunch more you can get to.
Escape, I'm going to select that one right there.
It says, Ion.
But watch what happens.
A single click, notice only slide number one is selected,
but a single click, boop, and instantly,
brrp, they all get the formatting.
Now you can come over to variants,
and this is new in 2013.
They have the themes and then the variants.
I'm going to select on blue.
So quickly formatting your whole PowerPoint presentation
is easy.
Now that's just the design using a theme.
Let's go over to transitions.
We'll talk about animations next video, but transitions,
that's the movement between slides.
So if I select Random Bars, notice it gives me a preview.
Click the More button, Comb.
Click the More button.
This is a presentation about boomerangs, of course,
and they used to have a built in one that came with PowerPoint
called Boomerang, but it's not here anymore.
Let's try Fracture.
Where at this one, croosh, it falls away.
That would be great, I guess, if your boomerang goes and hits
a window or something.
Slide number one selected.
And right there is a star.
That means it has either animation or transitions.
But none of the other slides have that star.
So you've got to remember to click Apply
to All in the timing group, brrp.
And instantly, we see we have all of our stars.
Now we want to do two things to our slides
before we see how to start the presentation.
I'm going to click on the slide.
And in the Home ribbon, we have a choice of layout.
So in the slide's group Layout, I'm
going to select Title Slide.
And instantly, it changes the layout.
That's much nicer for our title slide.
Now I'm going to use my scroll bar here.
You can see we have nine slides.
I'm going to select number seven, go back up to Layout,
and I would like to have a bullet on one side
and a picture on the other.
Now there's Title, Title and Content,
that's the default, Section, Two Content, even Comparison.
And there's a few others here.
We'll use a few others in the next video.
I'm going to select Two Content.
Just like that, it keeps our title.
There's what's called a placeholder.
There's a placeholder here.
And here, we want to click on this placeholder
and insert a picture.
This slide is about keeping her boomerang vertical.
You got to, if you're throwing a boomerang,
you got to throw it vertical, not fly it like a Frisbee.
So I'm going to go see if there's a picture online.
I'm going to click Online Pic.
And then bing, I'm going to type Throw Boomerang Vertical.
Enter.
Show All Web Results.
And look at that, there's a bunch of pictures.
I'm going to click on this one right
here, nice picture of throwing a boomerang
vertical, click Insert.
And just like that, we've inserted a picture.
Now the nice thing about inserting the picture directly
into the placeholder is that later when
we do animations and next videos,
you'll see that the placeholders will
receive that automatic animation.
All right, I'm going to click on the corner.
And when I see my diagonally pointing two way arrow,
I'm going to click and drag.
Let me click and drag over here, too.
All right, now we want to F12 to Save As.
I don't want to replace this second file.
I'm going to hit F12.
And I'm going to change the name, just the very end.
Instead of Second, like we named it last video,
I'm going to call it Done.
So Boomerangs Are Easy To Throw Done, and click Save.
Now, we could go to start it, to slide show.
From the beginning is F5.
From the current slide is Shift F5.
All right, I'm going to hit F5.
And how do you move forward?
You can hit Enter.
You can hit the space bar.
You can hit the down arrow.
The nice thing about the arrow keys is notice,
here it's Go To a Large Park, stand in the middle.
But somebody says, I want to go back.
Use the up arrow.
We go back to the previous slide, up arrow.
Man, I wish I had the up arrow when I was throwing boomerangs
and broke that window.
That's really cool.
I like, sloop, the window comes back together.
So the arrow keys are nice because you
can go forwards and backwards.
And so there we go.
Now how do we stop the presentation?
Escape.
All right, so that's just a little bit
about basic PowerPoint formatting and playing
your show.
In our next video, we'll create a PowerPoint
from scratch in PowerPoint and learn a bunch of cool tricks,
like instead of the slide pane, we'll see the outline pane.
And we'll even see how to insert a video and do animation.
All right, we'll see you next video.
