The sophisticated presentation features of PowerPoint are easy to find and use, so even novice users can work pro- Practice files ductively with PowerPoint after only a brief introduction.
For practice file download ments and Microsoft Excel workbooks, so if you already instructions, see the introduction. Processes that are specific to the creation and management of slides are unique to PowerPoint. This chapter guides you through procedures related to creating presentations, opening and navigating presen- tations, displaying different views of presentations, dis- playing and editing presentation properties, and saving and closing presentations.
Unlike the templates provided for Word and Excel, most PowerPoint templates are design templates that control thematic elements colors, fonts, and graphic effects and slide layouts rather than content templates that provide purpose-specific placeholder content.
Each tem- plate has a corresponding theme, so you can create a presentation based on one template but then entirely change its appearance by applying a different theme. When you start PowerPoint, the app displays a Start screen that gives you options for opening an existing presentation or creating a new one. The templates can change depending on your use of PowerPoint and the installation of program updates. Creating attractive, functional presentations from scratch can be time-consuming and requires quite a bit of knowledge about PowerPoint.
A design template is a blank presentation with a theme already applied to it. Sometimes it includes background graphic elements and specialized slide layouts. Some templates supply only a title slide and leave it to you to add the other slides you need; other templates supply an example of each of the available slide layouts. These templates provide not only the design elements but also suggestions for content that is appropriate for different types of presentations, such as reports or product launches.
After you download a template, you simply customize the content provided in the template to meet your needs. An important thing to be aware of when you create a presentation in PowerPoint is that you have the choice of two slide aspect ratios, which are referred to slightly inaccurately as slide sizes.
The default slide size is Widescreen , which is opti- mized for displays such as those found on many laptop screens and desktop monitors these days. By default, the slides in presentations you create based on the Blank Presentation tem- plate are set to Widescreen size.
Most of the tem- plates are , but you can easily filter the templates to display only those that are formatted specifically for slides. Before you begin adding content to a new presentation, you should consider how the presentation will be viewed and choose the most appropriate slide size.
You can change the slide size after you create the slide deck, but doing so might cause graphic ele- ments especially those on master slides to look different, and text and other slide elements to not fit on slides as intended.
