1) Make a slide master the way you want all of your presentations to look and then save it as a template. This will allow you to easily apply this design to all slides. Save your slide as a design template in the same location as all of your other design templates. Often these are located in c:\program files\Microsoft Office\Templates\ Presentation Designs. (You may want to do a search for *.pot files.)
2) Link pictures, Icons, text to other objects. You can link to Word documents, Excel files, web pages, video clips, etc…
3) Similar to #2 you can use action buttons to link to other objects and files. Go to Slide Show and select action buttons and pick the button you want to use. You can then set the action on that button to do what you want when the button is clicked.
4) Insert videos into PowerPoint for showing as a part of your presentation. Select Insert, Movies and Sounds and select the Video you want to insert. You will be asked if you want to play the movie when the slide is opened… you can select what you would like to happen. Notice that when you view the PowerPoint… if you click on the movie it automatically pauses the video.
5) To setup a self-running slide show select Slide Show, Setup Show. You can make your selections from this list to setup your show. You may want to select the option to loop continuously until Esc.
6) It is very easy to narrate a slide show presentation. That narration and slide show timings are saved as a part of the recording process. To record: Go to slide show and select record narration. (I would recommend a hand-held Mic and set you r levels before recording.) Make sure you stop talking a little before advancing to the next slide and do not begin talking until the next slide has been on the screen for a short time.
7) By using speakers notes you can easily print out a nice
handout or notes that you can use for your presentation. If you use notes they
can also be added to your PowerPoint if you save it as a web site. Unless your
PowerPoint is self-explanatory, you will want to have notes published to the web
site along with your PowerPoint. To add and view notes, go to View and select
Notes Page. 8) To publish your final presentation to a web site, I would recommend first making a folder on your computer to save the web site to. After the folder is made… Go to File, Save as a web page, then browse to the folder that you have made to publish your web site in. Select a file name for your presentation and then select publish. I would recommend selecting the option to support all browsers. (This will allow your web site to be seen by users using different browsers to view the web pages.) Once your web site is published you will have a file and a file folder that must be moved to your web site in order for individuals to view your web pages. I would not use PowerPoint to publish an entire web site, but it is excellent for publishing those PowerPoint’s that you want individuals to view on your web site.
9) Use Pack and Go (located under the File menu) to save your presentation on a disk to give or email to individuals who do not have PowerPoint. They are then able to view your presentation without owning a copy of PowerPoint. (They are not able to create or edit PowerPoint’s using the viewer.)
