WORKING WITH POWERPOINT
Discussion
Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 is a presentation graphics program that produces
dynamic and powerful slide shows containing movies, sounds, text, graphics, charts,
and SmartArt. You can use PowerPoint for formal and informal presentations and
meetings, as well as for presentations on the Internet.
Whether you are presenting an idea, plan, or complex report to a group, you can use
PowerPoint to combine essential data, dramatic illustrations, animation, special
effects, and timed sequences that convey your important points in an informative and
convincing visual presentation.
PowerPoint incorporates a wide variety of tools and features for selecting fonts,
formats, styles, colors, and themes. You can import documents from word processing
programs or worksheets and charts from spreadsheet applications as well as creating
text, tables and charts directly in PowerPoint. For example, in a presentation designed
to show your company's financial performance, you could import a previously created
list of assets from Microsoft Word and a graph illustrating stock performance from
Microsoft Excel. Alternatively you could create a bullet pointed list, table of data and
associated chart using PowerPoint and its integration with the other applications in
the Office 2007 suite.
You can use illustrations from clip art libraries or picture files, as well as movies and
sounds from the clip organizer, files or CDs. There are galleries of predefined shapes,
WordArt and SmartArt objects and you could even create a Photo Album from a
collection of digital photographs.
The new user interface in PowerPoint 2007 makes creating, presenting, and sharing
presentations simpler and more intuitive. With use of the new Ribbon, tabs, and
galleries, PowerPoint 2007 groups common tasks together in the same place. For
instance the tools for inserting pictures, clip art, shapes, SmartArt, and charts are
placed together in the Illustrations group on the Insert tab.
Formatting and consistency are made easier through contextual tabs and task panes.
Contextual tabs appear in the Ribbon when objects in the slides are selected. For
instance when a text box is selected, the Drawing Tools Format tab appears in the
ribbon to display relevant tools such as Shape Fill, Shape Outline, Shape Effects, and
WordArt styles. Task panes are also used to provide the tools and links to perform
common tasks in PowerPoint. The Office Clipboard and Clip Art now appear in a
task pane.
In addition to slide layout options, animation effects, and design templates, you can
also create and apply multiple slide and title masters.
PowerPoint 2007 - Lvl 1 Lesson 1 - Exploring PowerPoint
Villanova UNIT Training© Page 3
Themes allow a consistent look and feel to be applied to the presentation, applying a
common background, font style and layout throughout the presentation with a single
operation.
You can get help on a PowerPoint task or feature using the PowerPoint Help
window which can be launched using the help button from the parent PowerPoint
windows or in a context sensitive manner from child windows. The PowerPoint Help
window can search both online and offline sources to provide assistance and training,
and answer your questions. PowerPoint also provides tutorials for online instruction,
predesigned templates for popular types of presentations, and additional templates are
available to download from the Internet.
With employees and consultants spread across the world, workers need tools to
collaborate on joint projects. To address this issue, PowerPoint now provides many
new features for reviewing and sharing presentations, such as Document
Workspaces. PowerPoint also helps you package a presentation for a CD.
STARTING POWERPOINT
Discussion
When Microsoft Office 2007 is installed, it creates a Microsoft Office submenu in
your All Programs menu of the start menu. The submenu contains the shortcuts to all
of your Office applications. You can open Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 by selecting it
from this menu.
When the program starts, a brief splash screen appears, and then the application
window opens.
To display a shortcut to PowerPoint on your desktop, open
the Microsoft Office menu from the All Programs menu of
the start menu, right-click Microsoft Office PowerPoint
2007, point to Send To and select the Desktop (create
shortcut) command.
In Windows XP or Windows Vista, if you have previously
opened PowerPoint, it may appear in the Recently Used
Programs list, which displays when you click the start
button. To ensure PowerPoint doesn‟t scroll off of the
Recently Used Programs list, you can pin its shortcut to the
list by right-clicking Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007,
either from the Recently Used Programs list or the Microsoft
Office menu, and selecting the Pin To Start menu command.

Privacy Options window may appear. From this screen you
can choose whether Office can download help content from
the Internet when online, whether Office can periodically
download a file that helps track and solve program crashes and
whether you wish to sign up to the Microsoft Customer
Experience Improvement Program. The Privacy Options
screen also gives you the option to keep Office up to date with

USING THE POWERPOINT INTERFACE
Discussion
When PowerPoint starts, the application window opens. The application window
contains the following elements:
The Titlebar: can be used to move the window around the screen if it is
not maximized, it also displays the name of the active presentation. The
Titlebar appears across the top of the window.
The Office button: contains commands to open, save, print, prepare,
send, publish and close existing presentations as well as creating a new
presentation. The Office button appears at the top left-hand corner of the
window.
The Ribbon: comprises a band of functional tabs across the top of the
screen, underneath the Titlebar, that collate common features together
within the tabs using groups and galleries to create a more intuitive
interface and simplify the creation of a presentation.
The Quick Access Toolbar: is a quick and easy way of accessing some
of an application‟s regularly used features, the toolbar can be
customized to add and remove commands. The Quick Access Toolbar
appears to the right of the Office button.
The Minimize button: collapses the window down to a bar on the
taskbar of the desktop. It is the left-hand button of the three buttons at
the top right corner of the window.
The Maximize/Restore button: toggles the window between maximized
to full screen and reduced to a windowed size (not full screen). This
button is the middle button of the three buttons at the top right corner of
the window.
The Close button: closes the application. If you have presentations open
that have unsaved changes, you will be prompted to save them. The
close button is the right-hand button of the three buttons at the top right
corner of the window.
The Work area: is where the active presentation appears. The first time
you open PowerPoint 2007 the work area contains a blank presentation
with a single slide.
The Status bar: appears across the bottom of the window and provides
information about the active presentation as well as containing shortcuts
for changing the view and a zoom slidebar.

USING THE MICROSOFT OFFICE BUTTON
Discussion
The new look Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 brings with it many changes. Most of
these changes refer to the navigational aspects of the application and the new and
improved user interface. PowerPoint 2007, along with other Microsoft Office
applications, has moved away from the complex menu system and has arranged
features and commands according to their use and their place in the order of creating a
presentation. One thing that does remain the same, however, is the file menu.
Although it is no longer called the file menu, the commands that have been available
in previous editions are still available in PowerPoint 2007 albeit through the new
Microsoft Office Button. The Office Button, a large round icon located in the top
left hand corner of the screen, is the heart of all the new Microsoft Office applications
and, among others, includes all the traditional features such as New, Open, Save,
Print, and Close. New commands to appear in this menu are Prepare and Publish.
The Microsoft Office Button offers consistency across the Microsoft Office 2007
suite.
The Microsoft Office button
You cannot customize what appears in the Office Button
menu. However, regularly used commands can be added to
the Quick Access Toolbar for easy access.
PowerPoint 2007 - Lvl 1 Lesson 1 - Exploring PowerPoint
Villanova UNIT Training© Page 7
USING THE RIBBON
Discussion
In place of the old menu systems in previous editions, Microsoft has introduced the
Ribbon. The Ribbon comprises a band of functional tabs across the top of the screen.
The order in which these tabs appear across the Ribbon are designed to follow the
flow of creating a presentation, thus enabling a straightforward and logical order to
presentation construction. These tabs act as menus and display the relevant commands
relating to that tab. The tabs available across the Ribbon include the Home tab,
Insert tab, Design tab, Animations tab, Slide Show tab, Review tab, and View tab.
The Ribbon
You can choose to minimize the Ribbon to show just the tab
titles by right clicking on the Ribbon and selecting Minimize
the Ribbon.
WORKING WITH GROUPS
Discussion
In PowerPoint 2007 the graphical tabs serve as the menu list for a range of activities.
When selected from the Ribbon a tab displays a range of Groups. These Groups
categorize Commands according to their function. Below is a brief guide to the
Groups and Commands you will find on each of the tabs in PowerPoint 2007:
Home tab - here you will find basic commands such as New Slide and
Text formatting commands.
Insert tab - these Groups allow you to insert various objects into a slide
such as tables, pictures, diagrams, charts, text, movies and sound.
Design tab - gives you the tools you need to customize the appearance
of your presentation slides.
Animations tab - allows you to add a variety of animations and
transitions to your slides.
Lesson 1 - Exploring PowerPoint PowerPoint 2007 - Lvl 1
Page 8 Villanova UNIT Training©
Slide Show tab - these Groups aim to help you rehearse your
presentation.
Review tab - here you can check the Spelling in your presentation as
well as add comments and annotation to slides.
View tab - offers you a variety of ways to view your slides from Notes
Master to Black and White or Grayscale.
The Groups
You cannot customize the Groups or Commands that appear
on a tab but you can add regularly used commands to your
Quick Access Toolbar for easy access.
WORKING WITH THE CONTEXTUAL TABS
Discussion
In addition to the standard tabs that appear along the Ribbon there are Contextual
Tabs that appear and disappear as you use various commands. These Contextual
Tabs contain special formatting tools for items like tables and graphics. When you
have inserted a picture, table, chart or SmartArt object for example, the Contextual
Tabs will appear on the right hand side of the Ribbon and will be highlighted with a
different color to the rest of the tabs. When you have finished working on the selected
item these tabs will automatically disappear.
A Contextual tab
If you want to return to an inserted object and continue
formatting using the Contextual Tabs, simply select the
object and the Contextual Tabs will appear on the Ribbon.
PowerPoint 2007 - Lvl 1 Lesson 1 - Exploring PowerPoint
Villanova UNIT Training© Page 9
WORKING WITH THE GALLERIES
Discussion
While some buttons in the Ribbon immediately apply a command, such as the Bold
button, other buttons offer a large range of choices. When you see a button with a
down-pointing arrow, it indicates that the button offers several options. Generally,
clicking this type of button displays a Gallery, although some buttons display just a
menu, while others show both a gallery and a menu.
A Gallery is a graphic display of the options available from the button.
A Gallery
WORKING WITH QUICK STYLES
Discussion
Office 2007 also has a special type of gallery on some of the tabs known as a Quick
Style gallery. You can recognize a Quick Style gallery by the fact it displays several
options directly on the Ribbon and has three arrows on the right-hand side of the
button.
Lesson 1 - Exploring PowerPoint PowerPoint 2007 - Lvl 1
Page 10 Villanova UNIT Training©
The top two arrows on the right-hand side are scroll buttons that let you see the other
options in the Quick Style gallery without having to display the whole gallery at one
time.
The third arrow, the one with the line above it, is known as the More arrow. When
you click the More arrow, the whole gallery is displayed.
A Quick Style button
USING THE QUICK ACCESS TOOLBAR
Discussion
The Quick Access Toolbar is a feature that is present throughout Microsoft Office
2007. It appears at the top left of the screen alongside the Office button. It is a quick
and easy way to access some of an application‟s regularly used features without using
the Ribbon or Tabs. You can choose to display the Quick Access Toolbar below the
Ribbon, if you prefer.

The Mini Toolbar
You cannot customize the Mini toolbar.
USING LIVE PREVIEW
Discussion
The Live Preview feature is a particularly useful tool to try out different styles,
effects, and colors. The Live Preview feature allows you to visualize effects before
applying them. To see a change in your presentation, hover the mouse pointer over the
thumbnail images or list items in the galleries.
The Live Preview feature will temporarily display the changes to the selected object.

EXITING POWERPOINT
Discussion
When you have finished using PowerPoint, you should exit the application properly,
since PowerPoint performs necessary housekeeping before it closes.
If the current presentation has been modified but not saved, a PowerPoint dialog box
prompts you to save changes before exiting.
If only one presentation is open, you can also click the Close
button on the far right of the application window title bar to
exit PowerPoint. When more than one presentation is open,
each presentation appears in a separate window and the Close
button only closes the currently active presentation.

ENTERING TEXT INTO A PRESENTATION
Discussion
When you open PowerPoint, a blank presentation containing a single slide, based on
the Title Slide layout, appears in the application window. There are several different
layouts available which provide placeholders for inserting content into your slides.
Most slide layouts provide placeholders for entering text. Text placeholders determine
the placement of text on the page and are formatted with the font style and size
defined for each slide layout. For example, on the default Title Slide layout, you can
add title text into the title placeholder and a subtitle into the subtitle placeholder. The
prompt text appears in the placeholder until you type your desired text. If you do not
enter any text, the placeholder text remains on the screen but is not displayed when
you play the slideshow or print it.
You can start typing text in this first slide by entering the text directly into the
placeholders or you can select a different layout. When you click the text in a
placeholder, PowerPoint switches to edit mode. The placeholder appears with
hatched borders with sizing handles (white circles), a rotate handle (green circle) and
the insertion point appears in the placeholder.

SAVING A NEW PRESENTATION
Discussion
After creating a new presentation you can save it to disk so that you can retrieve it at
another time.
When you save a presentation for the first time, PowerPoint opens the Save As dialog
box, into which you enter the desired file name and location. A file name can consist
of multiple words (up to 255 characters) and should be descriptive enough for you to
recognize its contents. The following characters cannot be used in file names: forward
Lesson 2 - Using Basic Presentation Skills PowerPoint 2007 - Lvl 1
Page 20 Villanova UNIT Training©
slash (/), backslash (\), greater than symbol (>), less than symbol (<), asterisk (*),
quotation marks (“,”), question marks (?), pipe symbol ( | ), colon (:), or
semicolon (;). PowerPoint automatically assigns the .pptx extension when you save a
file for the first time.
If you are using Windows 2000 or XP, the default folder for saving presentations is
the My Documents folder. If you want to save the presentation in a different drive or
folder, you can use the Save in list to select the desired location. The folders and files
residing in the selected location appear in the list box below the Save in box. The My
Places bar on the left side of the Save As dialog box contains shortcuts to various
folders and can be used to quickly select these folders. The Save As dialog box can be
resized to suit your needs.
If you are using Windows Vista, the default folder for saving presentations is the
Documents folder in the current users profile. If you want to save the presentation in
a different drive or folder, you can use the Address bar to select the desired location.
Clicking the double arrow (<<) at the left end of the Address bar displays a list of the
available drives and most common folders. By default, Windows Vista presents a
compact Save As dialog box which doesn‟t display the existing contents of the current
location. However, this can be expanded using the Browse Folders arrow in the
bottom left corner. In the expanded Save As dialog box, the folders and files residing
in the selected location appear in the list box below the Address bar. The Favorite
Links list on the left side of the Save As dialog box contains shortcuts to various
folders and can be used to quickly select these folders. In addition, there is a Folders
list below the Favorite Links list that can be expanded to navigate the full list of
drives and folders.
Once a presentation has been saved, its file name appears in the application title bar
and subsequent saves do not display the Save As dialog box; instead, PowerPoint
updates the changes to the existing file each time you save the presentation.
The Save As dialog box
PowerPoint 2007 - Lvl 1 Lesson 2 - Using Basic Presentation Skills
Villanova UNIT Training© Page 21
Depending upon your Windows settings, file extensions may
or may not appear in the Save As or Open dialog boxes. This
setting is controlled by opening the Folder Options dialog box,
selecting the View tab, and selecting or deselecting the Hide
file extensions for known file types option. The Folder
Options dialog box is accessible from the Control Panel.
If you save a presentation with a file name that already exists
in the same location, you will be prompted to confirm that you
want the new file to replace the existing one.
You can also save a new presentation by selecting the Office
button and then the Save or Save As command.
The default file extension for PowerPoint 2007 files is .pptx,
this file format cannot be opened in previous versions of
PowerPoint. If you need to share your presentation files with
others using previous versions of PowerPoint you should
save your work as the PowerPoint 97-2003 Presentation
type.

CLOSING A PRESENTATION
Discussion
When you have finished working on a presentation you can close it to remove it from
the application window.
If you close a presentation without saving the most recent changes, PowerPoint
prompts you to save it. You can choose to save the changes made to the presentation,
or you can close the presentation without saving the changes.

OPENING AN EXISTING PRESENTATION
Discussion
You can view or edit an existing presentation by opening it from disk. You do not
need to remember the file name, because the Open dialog box displays a list of folders
and files in the current drive and folder. You can select the desired presentation from
the list, or you can type the name of the presentation you want to open.
If the presentation resides in a different drive or folder, you can use the Look in list in
Windows XP or the Address bar in Windows Vista to select the correct location.
The folders and files residing in the selected location appear in the list box below the
Look in box in Windows XP (below the Address bar in Windows Vista). You can
resize the Open dialog box to view more of its contents.
When using Windows XP, in addition to using the Look in list to open a folder, the
Open dialog box contains a My Places bar on the left side of the dialog box that
contains shortcuts to various folders or to the desktop.
When using Windows Vista, the Favorite Links list on the left side of the Open
dialog box contains shortcuts to various folders and can be used to quickly select these
folders. In addition, there is a Folders list below the Favorite Links list that can be
used to navigate the full list of drives and folders.
While the Open button opens the selected presentation, the Open list provides
additional options. For instance, if you want to protect the original version of a
presentation from modifications, you can open a copy of the presentation or open the
presentation as read-only.
In Windows XP, the Files of type list lets you open a file created in another program,
such as an outline created in Word. In Windows Vista, the Files of type list now
PowerPoint 2007 - Lvl 1 Lesson 2 - Using Basic Presentation Skills
Villanova UNIT Training© Page 27
displays as a button above the Open button; clicking the button lets you choose which
types of file to display.
When using Windows XP, the Views button at the top of the Open dialog box allows
you to select one of eight views: Thumbnails, Tiles, Icons, List, Details, Properties,
Preview, or WebView. The Thumbnails view displays a miniature image of
supported graphic and HTML files.
When using Windows Vista, the Views button at the top of the Open dialog box,
underneath the Address bar, allows you to select one of seven views: Extra Large
Icons, Large Icons, Medium Icons, Small Icons, List, Details, and Tiles. The Extra
Large Icons, Large Icons, and Medium Icons views display thumbnails of
supported files in various sizes.
In both Windows XP and Windows Vista, you can change views using the Views list
or by repeatedly clicking the Views button to cycle through the available views.
You can also have more than one presentation open at a time. Each presentation opens
in a separate Application Window.

ADDING A NEW SLIDE
Discussion
You can use the New Slide button to add additional slides to a presentation.
PowerPoint automatically inserts a new slide with a Title and Content layout after
the current slide. You can use the layout gallery in the slides group of the Home tab to
change the layout of the newly added slide.
PowerPoint provides nine layouts by default in the Layout gallery. A slide layout is a
predefined arrangement of placeholders for inserting titles, body text, and content
objects.
All layouts, apart from the Blank layout, provide one or more placeholders for text.
The Title and Content, Two Content, Comparison, and Content with Caption
layouts also provide placeholders for inserting content objects (Tables, Charts,
SmartArt Graphics, Pictures, Clip Art or Media Clips). The Picture with Caption
layout provides a placeholder for inserting a Picture together with two Text
placeholders.
Each content placeholder contains a link to insert the designated content object type,
so that you do not have to search for the command that inserts the object.
Although preset slide layouts make it easy to create an arrangement of text and
objects, you can insert text and objects anywhere on a slide. You can even select a
blank layout, which contains no placeholders, and create your own layout.

RENAMING AN EXISTING PRESENTATION
Discussion
Once a file has been saved, PowerPoint updates the existing saved file with any
changes each time you subsequently save the presentation.

modify a presentation and save the changes, but still keep the original presentation
intact. You can use the Save As dialog box to save an existing presentation with a
different file name or to a different location.
You can use the Save as type list to save the presentation in a format that can be read
by other applications, such as a JPEG graphics file, or an earlier version of

CREATING A CUSTOM LAYOUT
Discussion
When you open PowerPoint 2007 or create a new blank presentation, a single slide
based on the Title Slide layout appears. There are nine predefined layouts available.
Each layout contains Placeholders to indicate where content appears on a slide and to
assist with adding different types of content. A collection of layouts is called a Slide
Master. You can create your own custom layouts which are added to the standard
layouts in the Slide Master for the current presentation. Once you have created a
custom layout, you can use it for as many slides in the presentation as you require.
You create a new custom layout by adding Placeholders at the size and position you
require. There are different types of Placeholders for inserting Text, Pictures,
Charts, Tables, SmartArt Graphics, Media Clips or Clip Art. There is also a
special type of Placeholder called Content which can be used to add any kind of
content.
Creating a custom layout
Clicking the bottom part of the Insert Placeholders button
lets you select the type of Placeholder you wish to add.
Clicking the top part of the button inserts another Placeholder
of the same type.

APPLYING A THEME
Discussion
Each new blank presentation that you create is based on the Office Theme, which has
a plain background and simple font styles and colors. You can quickly change the
appearance of all your slides by selecting a different theme.
You can use themes to ensure consistency in your presentations. A theme applies
colors, fonts, styles, and effects to all the slides in your presentation. Themes are a
useful way of applying a corporate standard to your presentation as they can be used
to create matching documents throughout the Microsoft Office 2007 suite.
Applying a theme to a slide
You can edit themes to change color, font, and effects using
the Color, Fonts, and Effects buttons in the Themes gallery.
You can roll the mouse pointer over the thumbnails of the
themes in the gallery to display the name of each theme.

the pane or enlarge it by dragging the splitter bar up.
You can also work with notes in Notes Page view. This view displays a copy of the
slide and provides a larger notes box in which you can create, edit, or view notes. You
can print notes pages to use as you rehearse or deliver your presentation.
Both the notes pane and notes box allow you to use common word processing
features, such as word-wrap, bold or italic formatting, font or font size modification,
and bulleted text.

Lesson 4 - Using the Outline Tab PowerPoint 2007 - Lvl 1

WORKING WITH THE OUTLINE TAB
Discussion
When you are creating a presentation, entering text in an outline format allows you to
concentrate on the content. The presentation outline appears when you click the
Outline tab in the tabs pane at the left-hand side of the program window. You can
enter presentation text and see the formatted slide in Normal view at the same time.
Since most presentations list highlights instead of full explanations, the outline is an
effective way of organizing your thoughts.
The Outline tab displays a presentation in the form of a classic outline, consisting of
separate lines for the heading and associated body text of each slide. Text can be
indented to one of five levels. Level one is the highest (heading) level.
You create a presentation in the same way you would create an outline, by typing the
headings and indenting the associated body text. Pressing the [Enter] key after typing
text inserts a new line at the same level. Therefore, pressing the [Enter] key after
typing level 1 (heading) text inserts a new slide into the presentation, and pressing the
[Enter] key after typing level 2 text inserts a new line at level 2 of the same slide.
As you add text to a presentation outline, you can change text levels as you type.
Changing the level of the current line is called promoting or demoting the line.
Promoting and demoting text can change the structure of your presentation. For
instance, demoting level 1 (heading) text demotes the slide to body text on the
previous slide.

COLLAPSING AND EXPANDING SLIDES
Discussion
One of the advantages of working with an outline is the ability to expand and collapse
it. A collapsed outline allows you to see the flow of ideas more easily, since you only
see the titles of each slide. You can also collapse all slides except for the current slide.
This option leaves more of the screen available.
You can choose to collapse the entire outline and view only the titles of each slide to
check for continuity, or you can collapse specific slides. You can also expand the
entire outline to view all the body text, or you can expand only specific slides as you
work with them.
PowerPoint provides a few tools that make it easier to work with the presentation
outline. One tool is the splitter bar (the vertical border between the tabs pane and the
slide pane). You can drag the splitter bar to adjust the size of the tabs pane. Increasing
the size of the tabs pane makes it easier to read longer lines.
Collapsing slides
When an outline is collapsed, a gray line appears under the
title of each slide that contains hidden text.

DEMOTING AND PROMOTING TEXT LINES
Discussion
PowerPoint provides nine levels of indentation for the body text on a slide. Level 1
has the smallest indent, and level 9 has the largest.
When you want to place less emphasis on an item, you can demote it. When you
demote an item, the indentation increases. When you want to place more emphasis on
an item, you can promote it. When you promote an item, the indentation decreases.
The Show Text Formatting option in the Outline menu (displayed when you right-
click in the Outline tab) lets you display the text formatting in the outline. When text
formatting is displayed, level 1 text has the largest font size, decreasing in steps to
level 4. The font size for level 4 to level 9 text is the same.

MOVING/COPYING TEXT BETWEEN SLIDES
Discussion
When editing a presentation, you may want to move or copy text, either within the
same presentation or between presentations.
When you move text, the text is removed from its original location and placed into the
new location. The Cut and Paste features make it easy to move text.
If you want to duplicate text in another location, you can copy the text rather than
retype it. To duplicate text, you can use the Copy and Paste features. The Copy
feature is similar to the Cut feature, except that the Copy feature does not remove the
text from the original location.
When moving or copying text using the Cut, Copy, and Paste features, PowerPoint
automatically adds or removes spaces as needed, provided that the Use smart cut and
paste option has been enabled in the Advanced section in PowerPoint Options.
Cut or copied text is placed on the Clipboard. When you paste, the most recent item
cut or copied is retrieved from the Clipboard and pasted into the selected location. If
you do not select a placeholder into which to paste the text, it is pasted into a new
placeholder in the center of the current slide and adopts the default text formats. If you
need to cut, copy, and paste multiple items, you can use the Clipboard Task Pane.
After an item has been pasted, the Paste Options button may appear in the slide next
to the pasted text. You can use Paste Options to choose whether source or destination
formatting should be applied, or you can press the [Esc] key to hide the button.

FINDING AND REPLACING TEXT
Discussion
In PowerPoint, you can find a word or phrase and replace it with another word or
phrase. You can replace all occurrences of the text or just the current occurrence. The
PowerPoint 2007 - Lvl 1 Lesson 5 - Editing and Proofing Text
Villanova UNIT Training© Page 87
Replace feature saves time, because you do not have to manually find each occurrence
and type the replacement text. For example, you could replace all occurrences of the
word growth with the word development throughout a presentation.
In the Replace dialog box, you can also use the Match case option to indicate that
you want to find text that matches the characters in the Find what box exactly,
including uppercase and lowercase. In addition, you can use the Find whole words
only option, which ignores text if it appears as part of another word. For example, if
the search text is inform, PowerPoint identifies only the word inform and not words
containing inform (such as informed, information, informative, or uninformed).
Replacing text
You can also replace all occurrences of a specific font by
selecting the arrow on the right-hand part of the Replace
button and choosing Replace Fonts from the Replace menu.

CHECKING SPELLING AS YOU TYPE
Discussion
In order to help you check your PowerPoint presentations for errors in spelling,
PowerPoint includes a Spelling feature. This feature works in two ways. One way is
to automatically check spelling as you enter text. This method is enabled by default.
Another way to check spelling in a presentation is to invoke the spelling checker after
the presentation has been created. Both methods find the same errors.
The Check spelling as you type feature examines the words in a presentation and
compares them to the words found in the main dictionary. When a word is found that
is not in the main dictionary, a single, red, wavy line appears beneath the word. You
can ignore the underline and continue typing, or you can right-click the identified text
and select one of the suggestions or commands on the shortcut menu. If the correct
spelling is not present, you can edit the error in the presentation or open the Spelling
dialog box.
You can quickly move to the next spelling error by clicking the Spelling Status icon
on the status bar. This icon, which resembles an open book, displays an X when
additional errors are present in a presentation. The Spelling Status icon, however, is
only visible if the Check spelling as you type option has been enabled. You can
Lesson 5 - Editing and Proofing Text PowerPoint 2007 - Lvl 1
Page 90 Villanova UNIT Training©
enable or disable spelling options in the Proofing section in the PowerPoint Options
dialog box.
Correcting a spelling error
In order to check spelling automatically as you type, the
Check spelling as you type option in the Proofing section in
the PowerPoint Options dialog box must be enabled. The Hide
spelling errors option must also be deselected for the red,
wavy lines to appear.
You do not need to correct misspellings immediately as they
occur. You can correct them at any time.
The red, wavy lines generated by the spelling checker only
appear on the screen; they are not displayed in the slideshow
or printed with the presentation.
Procedures
1. Right-click text that appears with a single, red, wavy line beneath it.
2. Select a suggested replacement or a spelling command.
PowerPoint 2007 - Lvl 1 Lesson 5 - Editing and Proofing Text
Villanova UNIT Training© Page 91
3. Select the Spelling Status icon on the status bar to move to the
next identified error.

RUNNING THE SPELLING CHECKER
Discussion
You can invoke the spelling checker to spell check a presentation. The spelling
checker checks the entire presentation, even if you start it in the middle of the
Lesson 5 - Editing and Proofing Text PowerPoint 2007 - Lvl 1
Page 92 Villanova UNIT Training©
presentation. You can run the spelling checker from the Review tab. The spelling
checker starts in the slide containing the insertion point. The notes pane is
automatically included in the spell check.
A word identified as misspelled appears in the Spelling dialog box, with possible
corrections listed in the Suggestions list box. There may be several alternatives when
a word is identified as incorrect. You can select the correct spelling of the word in the
Suggestions list box and use the Change or Change All button to change just the
current occurrence or to change all occurrences of the misspelled word. If PowerPoint
does not list any entries in the Suggestions list box, you can try using the Suggest
button to see if any words match the identified word. However, if the Suggestions list
box does not contain the correct spelling, you can type the correct spelling directly
into the Change to box in the Spelling dialog box. If the word is correct, you can use
the Ignore Once or Ignore All button to disregard just the current occurrence or all
occurrences of the error. Another alternative for a correctly spelled word (such as a
company name or technical term) is to use the Add button to add the word to the
custom dictionary.
Running the spelling checker
PowerPoint 2007 - Lvl 1 Lesson 5 - Editing and Proofing Text
Villanova UNIT Training© Page 93
You can edit the custom dictionary in PowerPoint, by
clicking the Options button in the Spelling dialog box to
display the Proofing section in the PowerPoint Options dialog
box and then clicking the Custom Dictionaries button. You
can use the Custom Dictionaries dialog box to edit the word
list in a custom dictionary or to create a new custom
dictionary. You can also add an existing custom dictionary,
such as a technical dictionary, to the list of dictionaries used
by Office programs or remove a custom dictionary and specify
the language for which each dictionary is used.
You can also activate the spelling checker by adding the
command to your Quick Access Toolbar or by right-clicking
any word with a red, wavy underline and selecting the
Spelling command.
The Change and Change All buttons insert the correct
spellings only in the current presentation; the Ignore All
button ignores all occurrences of the identified word for the
entire PowerPoint session.

CREATING AN AUTOCORRECT ENTRY
Discussion
If you commonly misspell or mistype a word, you can create an AutoCorrect entry for
it. Then, whenever you make that particular typing error, PowerPoint automatically
replaces it with the correct text. PowerPoint provides default AutoCorrect entries for a
few commonly misspelled words (for example, teh for the and recieve for receive).
In addition, you can create an AutoCorrect entry for any frequently used word or
phrase. When you type the defined AutoCorrect abbreviation, PowerPoint
automatically expands it into the complete word or phrase.

DISPLAYING SMART TAGS IN A PRESENTATION
Discussion
Smart Tags provide a list of actions you can perform relating to the recognized text.
For instance, you can display smart tags for dates, financial symbols, and people‟s
names.
You can display Smart Tags in a presentation using the Smart Tags page in the
AutoCorrect Options dialog box. After selecting the Label text with smart tags
option, you can select or deselect the individual types of smart tags you want to
recognize. The Check Presentation button then checks your presentation and adds
the recognized Smart Tags.
Deselecting the Label text with smart tags option removes the smart tags from a
presentation. However, if the Embed smart tags in this presentation option is
enabled, Smart Tags will remain in the presentation, even if you deselect the Label
text with smart tags option.
Smart Tag indicators appear under recognized text in the Outline tab and slide pane
as wavy, dotted purple underlines. When you point to the underlined text, a Smart
Tag Actions button appears. Selecting the button displays a menu of corresponding
actions you can take. For instance, you can use the Smart Tag for a date to open
Outlook and schedule a meeting.

IMPORTING TEXT FROM WORD
Discussion
An existing Microsoft Word document can be used to create a PowerPoint
presentation. You can import text from Word into an existing PowerPoint
presentation or you can create a new presentation by importing an entire outline
created in Word.
When you import text from Word, it appears in PowerPoint in outline format.
PowerPoint creates the outline from text formatted with Heading styles in the Word
document. Any text formatted in Word in the Heading 1 style becomes a slide title in
the presentation; text formatted in the Heading 2 style becomes first-level text in a
presentation slide, text formatted in the Heading 3 style becomes second-level text in
a presentation slide, etc.
If the text in the Word document has not been formatted with styles, PowerPoint
creates the outline using the Word paragraph indentations.
If you use a Word outline to create a PowerPoint presentation, the first-level
headings from the Word outline are converted to slide titles, and the successive
outline levels are converted to bulleted items with corresponding indents.

PRINTING PRESENTATIONS
Discussion
In PowerPoint, you can preview and print an entire presentation (slides, outlines,
speaker notes, and handouts) in color, grayscale, or black and white. Although you
can print a presentation directly from the Office button menu, using the Print
Preview feature allows you to first view the printed pages onscreen before printing.
Many print options can be controlled from both the Print dialog box and Print
Preview. For example, you can use either method to select what you want to print
(slides, handouts, speaker notes, or outlines). The advantage of using Print Preview is
that you can view the results of your selections before you print.
After setting and viewing options in Print Preview, when you click the Print button,
the Print dialog box is displayed, where you can select the number of copies you want
to print, as well as choose whether or not to collate the printed material. In addition,
you can select the range of slides to print. You can print the entire presentation, the
current slide, or a selection of slides.
Also, available from the Office menu is a Quick Print option which immediately
prints the presentation to the default printer using the current print settings.
Depending on the type of printer available, presentations can
be printed on transparencies for use as overheads. You can
also print slides to a file and send the file to a service bureau
to print presentation slides.
The Color/Grayscale option allows you to print slides in
color, grayscale, or black and white. This option is available in
the Print dialog box or from the Options menu in print
preview.
SELECTING PAGE SETUP OPTIONS
Discussion
The Page Setup dialog box allows you to customize your printed slides. When you
select the size of paper on which you will be printing, PowerPoint automatically
determines the correct width and height of the printed slide. If you specify a different
width and height, Custom appears in the Slides sized for box.
PowerPoint 2007 - Lvl 1 Lesson 6 - Printing
Villanova UNIT Training© Page 111
The Page Setup dialog box also allows you to choose the orientation (portrait or
landscape) for your slides, as well as for notes, handouts, and outlines collectively.
You can also choose to start slide numbering on a number other than one, if desired.
Page setup options are saved with the presentation.

PRINTING SLIDES
Discussion
PowerPoint provides a variety of methods for printing slides, speaker notes,
handouts, or the presentation outline, depending upon the features available to your
printer. You can print in color, black and white, or shades of gray. Printed copies are
particularly useful during the initial design phase to judge the design and content or to
use the copies as layout sheets.
In addition to printing all the slides in the presentation, you can print just the current
slide or selected slides. You can also specify a range of slides. For example, you can
print only slides 1, 4, 5, and 9; or you can print a range of slides, such as slides 3-10.
Other print options include placing a thin frame around each slide and printing
inserted comments on a separate page. You can also scale the slide to fit the paper.
This option resizes the slide image on the printout so that it fills the page; the actual
slide image in the presentation, however, does not change.
You can use Print Preview to view the presentation and modify the print options
before you print the slides.
Options set in the Print dialog box and most options set using the Options button in
Print Preview are not saved with the presentation. However, Headers and Footers
that you enter are saved.

presentation directly to the printer, using the current print
settings, without opening the Print dialog box. You can open

box also allows you to go to Print Preview.
The Print dialog box retains your print options for the current

you open the Print dialog box. However, print settings are

CREATING HEADERS AND FOOTERS
Discussion
You can use the Header and Footer feature in Print Preview to include additional
information in your printouts. Headers display information at the top of a page and
footers at the bottom.
Notes, handouts, and outlines all contain placeholders for header and footer
information, which are displayed on every page of the printout. You can print the date
and time on each page, either by typing a fixed date or by selecting the option to
automatically display the current date and/or time in a selected format. You can also
print page numbers or enter custom text for the header and footer.
Slides have placeholders only for footers. Slide footers appear on the printout and on
the slide; consequently, footer information will also appear on the screen. You can
include the date and time, the slide number, or custom text in the slide footer. You can
apply the footer information only to the current slide or to all slides in the
presentation. You can also suppress the footer display on the title slide.

FORMATTING TEXT
Discussion
All text formatting in a slide is determined by the Theme upon which the presentation
is based, as well as the selected slide layout. Text formatting can be divided into
character formatting and paragraph formatting.
Character formatting refers to the font style, size, effect, and color of text on a slide.
You can use each of these text effects individually or in combination to enhance the
design and visual appeal of a slide. As with all design elements, you should use
character formatting judiciously. Too much color or too many different fonts can
distract and confuse the audience.
Paragraph formatting refers to the alignment and indenting of paragraphs, as well as
the spacing between and within paragraphs.
The placeholder for a slide determines the font, font size, paragraph alignment,
paragraph spacing, and bullet formatting of text entered into it. However, you can
change the formatting to suit your needs. Many of the character and paragraph
formatting attributes can be changed using the buttons on the Drawing Tools Format
contextual tab, the Font and Paragraph groups on the Home tab or using the Mini
Toolbar.
When you apply character formatting, it is applied to selected text only. However, to
change the formatting for a single word, you do not have to select the entire word; you
can just position the insertion point within the word. Likewise, when you apply
formatting to a single paragraph, you do not have to select the entire paragraph; you
only have to position the insertion point anywhere within it. To format multiple
paragraphs, however, you must select at least part of each paragraph to which you
want to apply formatting.
If you want to apply formatting to all text in a placeholder, you can drag to select all
the text. Alternatively, you can click the border of a placeholder to select all text
within it. (Although the text does not appear selected with this method, the
placeholder border changes to a solid line rather than a dashed line to indicate that the
placeholder is indeed selected.)
If you enter more lines into a placeholder than it can hold, or if you change the line
spacing so that text lines spill over the bottom of the placeholder, PowerPoint
automatically reduces the font size to fit all the text into the placeholder. When this
happens, a smart tag, the AutoFit Options button, appears. You can use the AutoFit
Options list to decide how to handle the situation.
PowerPoint 2007 - Lvl 1 Lesson 7 - Formatting Presentation Text
Villanova UNIT Training© Page 133
Reducing the size of a placeholder decreases the font size of
text within it. Expanding a placeholder after text has been
resized by AutoFit increases the font size of the text within it.
CHANGING AN EXISTING FONT
Discussion
A font is defined as a group of characters sharing similar type attributes. Fonts are
divided into two main types: serif and sans serif. Examples of serif fonts are Times
New Roman and Bookman. Examples of sans serif fonts include Arial, Tahoma, and
Verdana.
Text font is determined by the template and theme you choose when you create a
presentation. You can change the font as desired to suit your needs. In this way, you
can customize a presentation to accommodate special conditions, such as text for a
company logo.
PowerPoint includes many fonts from which you can choose. They range from heavy
and bold to thin and light. You can also mix fonts within a presentation. Varying the
font within a presentation improves the readability of the text and emphasizes key
points.
The fonts available to you depend upon which fonts are installed on your computer
and printer. A TT symbol next to a font name indicates a True Type font installed in
Windows. A printer icon next to a font name indicates a font installed in your printer.

MODIFYING THE FONT SIZE
Discussion
The default font size of titles, bulleted text, and other text in a presentation depends
upon the template or theme used to create the presentation. You can change font size
as required to emphasize or de-emphasize text.
Font size is measured in points. One point is approximately 1/72 of an inch. The larger
the font size, the larger the type. Therefore, a word with a 36-point font size is
approximately one-half inch in height.
Generally speaking, larger font sizes are used for headlines and titles, and smaller font
sizes are used for body text.
A font size can be applied to existing text or you can select a font size prior to typing
text. As you type, you can mix font sizes. For example, you can use a 36-point font for
the heading on a slide and a 12-point font for the subordinate text. Varying the font
size in a slide adds impact to a presentation by emphasizing key points.

CHANGING FONT STYLE AND EFFECT
Discussion
To enhance a presentation, you can change the font style and effect. Font style refers
to bolding and italicizing text. Font effects include underline, shadow, emboss,
superscript, and subscript. Buttons used to bold, italicize, underline, and shadow text
appear in the Font group on the Home tab.
Font styles and effects can make words stand out on a slide. You can use them to call
attention to key words in a presentation.
You can change character formats or effects as you type. You can mix character
formats and effects in any combination within the same document, but to get the
maximum effect of any formatting, it is best to use it sparingly.

CHANGING THE FONT COLOR
Discussion
Color can be used to emphasize text in a presentation. For example, the color red can
be used to emphasize a subtitle. Although font colors are determined by the template
and placeholder attributes, you can change the text color.
The Font Color button has two components. The Font Color button always displays
the currently selected color. To apply this color to selected text, you only have to click
the Font Color button. In addition, you can use the Font Color arrow to select a
different color from the color palette.
The color palette contains Theme Colors that complement your template, as well as
Standard Colors. If you want to add another color to the palette, you can select More
Colors and then choose a color from the Standard tab, or you can mix your own
color on the Custom page.

CHANGING TEXT ALIGNMENT
Discussion
Paragraph alignment refers to the position of each line of text in a paragraph between
the left and right margins.
You can change the alignment of text in a slide to achieve a desired look. The
Paragraph group contains four main alignment buttons: Align Left, Center, Align
Right, and Justify. Left alignment aligns text to the left margin and produces a ragged
right margin. Right alignment aligns text to the right margin and produces a ragged
left margin. Center alignment centers text between the left and the right margins.
Justify aligns text to both the left and right margins adding extra space between words
as necessary.
Aligning text affects the entire paragraph. You do not need to select the text in the
paragraph you want to align; you can simply position the insertion point anywhere
within the paragraph.
You can also change the alignment position of your text
within a placeholder using the Align Text button arrow in the
Paragraph group and selecting Top, Middle or Bottom.
Procedures

USING THE AUTOFIT OPTIONS BUTTON
Discussion
When you change the font size, add bullets to text, or change line spacing, the text
may no longer fit into the placeholder. When you make changes, PowerPoint
automatically AutoFits text to the placeholder, and a Smart Tag called the AutoFit
Options button appears. The AutoFit options allow you to determine how you want to
handle the situation.
The default option, AutoFit Text to Placeholder, adjusts the point size of the text so
that it fits into the placeholder. If this is the desired result, you do not need to select an
AutoFit option. The Stop Fitting Text to This Placeholder option retains the original
font size, thereby allowing the text to flow over the bottom border of the placeholder.
Depending on the placeholder, other options may appear. The Split Text Between
Two Slides option returns the text to the original font and creates a new slide for the
text spillover. The Continue on a New Slide option also creates a new slide, but with

WORKING WITH GRAPHICS
Discussion
You can add graphics to a PowerPoint presentation. A graphic can enhance a
presentation by depicting an idea that may be difficult to describe or by making the
presentation more visually appealing.
Graphic images that can be used in PowerPoint include simple drawn shapes, Clip
Art, and pictures (such as scanned images that are saved as files).
One method of adding graphics to a presentation is to use the Microsoft Clip
Organizer, which contains numerous images called Clip Art. The Clip Organizer
contains hundreds of professionally designed illustrations that can be freely
incorporated into a presentation. These illustrations include people, animals,
landscapes, banners, various types of equipment and tools, food, and an assortment of
symbols.
In addition to Clip Art, the Clip Organizer contains many photographs, sounds, and
video clips that can be used to create a multimedia presentation.
Another method of adding graphics to a presentation is to insert a picture from a file.
You can purchase Clip Art libraries that specialize in specific types of images, such
as for education, business, or a particular industry.
Once you have inserted a graphic into a presentation, you can resize it, crop or cut
away portions of the image, or change its colors. You also can move the graphic,
make copies of it, and add text to it.
When a clip is inserted, four small circles and four small squares called sizing handles
appear in a rectangle around the picture. Sizing handles indicate that the picture or
object is selected. The small, green circle is a rotate handle and can be used to rotate
the clip. In addition, the Picture Tools Format contextual tab appears as soon as you
select any graphic on a slide and closes when you deselect the graphic.
You can insert more than one clip on a slide. Once inserted, a clip can be moved or
resized.
You can delete an inserted clip or graphic by selecting it and
pressing the [Delete] key. When you delete a graphic,
PowerPoint may replace it with a content placeholder.
The first time you open the Clip Organizer, PowerPoint
prompts you to organize all your available Clip Art.
PowerPoint 2007 - Lvl 1 Lesson 11 - Using Graphic Images
Villanova UNIT Training© Page 199
USING THE CLIP ART TASK PANE
Discussion
Clip Art images can add interest to a PowerPoint presentation. You can use the Clip
Art task pane to insert clip images.
To find a clip, enter a word related to the type of clip art you want to insert in the
Search for box. Words used in a search are called keywords. If you want to insert a
clip on a slide, but you are not sure which one you want to add, you can perform a
keyword search for clips. If your presentation deals with sporting goods, for example,
you can use the keyword sports to search the Clip Organizer; any clip pertaining to
sports will be found.
You can limit searches to a specific type of collection or media file by selecting the
corresponding options from the Search in and Results should be lists.
After entering your search criteria and clicking the Go button, thumbnails of the clips
found based on the search criteria appear in the Results box. You can scroll through
the Results box to view all your options.
When you point to a clip, a ScreenTip displays the keywords related to that image, its
size in pixels, its file size, and its graphic format. Clicking directly on a clip inserts it
into your presentation at the insertion point. You can use the list of options that
appears when you right-click a clip or click its drop-down arrow to copy or delete the
clip, edit the clip keywords, find clips with a similar style, or view the clip properties.
If the list of found clips does not suit your needs, you can change your search criteria
and search again.
In addition, you can use the Organize clips and Clip Art on Office Online links in
the Clip Art task pane to display additional ways of searching for graphics, sounds,
and animation.

Keywords are editable; you can use the Edit Keywords dialog
box to add keywords to a clip or to remove keywords from it,
if desired. You can also add clips to the Clip Organizer, if
desired.
Your search criteria is saved in the Clip Art task pane until
you manually change the selections. In order to search all
collections for all media, you must delete the search text, reset
all the search options, and then click the Search button.

USING SLIDE LAYOUTS
Discussion
PowerPoint also includes several slide layouts that contain placeholders for Clip Art.
There are two general types of placeholders used in PowerPoint: a general content
placeholder and a dedicated title placeholder.
A general content placeholder provides a link to insert clip art, as well as links to
insert tables, charts, SmartArt graphic, pictures, and media clips. To insert Clip Art
using a content placeholder, you can click the Insert Clip Art icon in the placeholder.
These placeholders open the Clip Art task pane, in which you can search for a Clip
Art image by keyword and then insert it into the placeholder.
Once inserted into the placeholder, the clip appears with eight sizing handles and a
green rotation handle, and the Drawing Tools Format contextual tab appears. The
clip can then be moved and resized as desired.

INSERTING CLIPS WITH THE CLIP ORGANIZER
Discussion
In addition to using the Clip Art task pane to search the Clip Organizer for media
clips, you can open the Clip Organizer to view and insert Clip Art.
The Clip Organizer window consists of two panes. The left pane is the Collection
List, which displays all available collections. The right pane displays thumbnails of
the clips stored in the selected collection.
The first time you open the Clip Organizer or the Clip Art task pane, PowerPoint
scans your available drives for all media files and creates collections under My
Collections and Shared Collections, using the same names as the folder(s) in which
the files are stored. Collections located on web sites appear under Web Collections.
The Clip Art supplied with Microsoft Office is located in the Office Collections
folder. Office clip art is divided into several thematic collections, such as Animals,
Concepts, People, and Seasons. Some collections contain subcollections, such as the
Domestic and Wild folders under Animals.
Browsing through the collections in the Clip Organizer is helpful if you want to view
available Clip Art to get an idea for a good visual illustration. If you want to search by
keyword, you can use the Search button on the toolbar to display the Search task pane
in place of the Collection List pane. The Collection List button redisplays the
Collection List pane.
You can leave the Clip Organizer open while you work and use the Windows taskbar
to switch between the presentation and Clip Organizer windows.
Lesson 11 - Using Graphic Images PowerPoint 2007 - Lvl 1

ORGANIZING CLIPS
Discussion
The Clip Organizer window provides both a menu bar and a toolbar for organizing
media clips.
The default view for browsing clips is the Thumbnails view, which displays the files
graphically. However, you can use the List or Details button on the Clip Organizer
toolbar to view just the file names or detailed information about each file,
respectively.
The clips installed by Microsoft Office have searchable keywords already assigned to
them. You can assign additional keywords to them, as well as to other media files, to
make them easier to find.
In addition to the default collections PowerPoint creates in My Collections, you can
create new collections, rename and delete collections, and move and copy clips and
graphics to other collections. The same clip can belong to more than one collection.
The Office Collections folder is read-only. Therefore, you cannot create, rename or
delete a file in it, nor can you move or copy clips into any Office collection. However,
clips in the Office collection can be copied to any collection under My Collections.
Clips, as well as entire collections, can be deleted from My Collections. You can
delete a clip from one or more collections, or you can delete it from the Clip
Organizer, which removes it from all collections. Although you cannot delete a
collection from Office Collections, you can remove Office clips from the Clip
Organizer.
You can force PowerPoint to refresh your collections automatically, or you can use
the Add Clips to Organizer command on the File menu in the Clip Organizer
window to manually add clips to the Clip Organizer. When you add a clip to the Clip
Organizer, you can select categories and create keywords for it. In addition, the Clips
Online button allows you to download and add clips to your Clip Organizer from the
Microsoft Clip Gallery web site.
The Clip Organizer can be collapsed to view a slide.
PowerPoint 2007 - Lvl 1 Lesson 11 - Using Graphic Images
Villanova UNIT Training© Page 219
Adding a keyword to a clip
If you select multiple clips, you can use the All Clips at Once
page in the Keywords dialog box to add the same keyword to
all the selected clips. To select multiple clips, hold the [Ctrl]
key and click each desired clip; to select all clips in the
collection, select the Edit menu and then Select All.
You can delete a clip from a collection by right-clicking it and
selecting Delete from “collection”. You can delete a
collection by right-clicking it in the Collection List pane and
selecting Delete “collection_name”.
Collections are not physical folders on a drive. When you
move or copy a clip to another collection, you are not actually
moving or copying the file, you are just creating or modifying
the shortcut to the actual file.
Procedures
1. Open the Clip Art task pane, if necessary.

USING THE DRAWING GROUP
Discussion
The Drawing group on the Home tab provides several tools and features to assist you
in drawing and editing slide objects and text. For example, if you want to add a
balloon graphic to a slide, you can use the Oval and Line buttons in the Shapes
gallery to draw the balloon and its string.
The Drawing group provides a variety of drawing tools that can be used to create and
edit objects, as well as add color enhancements to them. These tools allow you to
create simple shapes such as lines, arrows, rectangles, and ellipses and to add text
boxes, shadows, and 3-D settings. The Drawing group also contains tools for
selecting fill, line, and font colors and line, dash, and arrow styles or alternatively
choose a preset Quick Style to customize your shape.
There are a number of pre-defined shapes including stars and banners, action buttons,
block arrows, and connectors for flowcharts.
The Arrange menu provides options for aligning, rotating, and flipping objects, as
well as for changing the order of overlapping layers. You can also group multiple
objects together so that they can be moved or resized as one object.
When you using the tools in the Drawing group the Drawing Tools Format
contextual tab appears offering further options to change and customize your drawing.
If drawing objects are added to the slide master, they appear
on every slide in a presentation, except the title slide.
DRAWING AN ENCLOSED OBJECT
Discussion
You can draw objects directly on a slide using the Shapes tools in the Drawing
group. Using these tools, you can draw enclosed objects and then move, copy, and/or
resize them as desired. Enclosed drawing objects, such as rectangles or ovals, are
filled by default. Filled objects are opaque and contain patterns and/or colors. If filled
objects are drawn in front of other slide objects, the objects behind them are hidden.
You can, however, remove an object‟s fill in order to view the objects behind it.
When you are drawing an object, the mouse pointer changes into a crosshair. The
center of the crosshair represents the outer border of the object. An object is
PowerPoint 2007 - Lvl 1 Lesson 12 - Working with Drawing Objects

automatically selected when you finish drawing it. A selected object displays eight
sizing handles and a green rotate handle, which can be used to rotate the object to the
desired position.

CHANGING THE FILL COLOR OF AN OBJECT
Discussion
When you draw an object on a slide, PowerPoint automatically applies a default fill
color to it. You can change the fill color of an object or remove its fill color so that the
object is transparent. For example, if you draw a circle on a slide, it appears with the
default fill color supplied by PowerPoint. If you want the circle to represent the sun,
you can change the fill color to yellow.
You can select a color from the Theme Colors palette, Standard Colors palette or
you can select the More Fill Colors option to view additional color options.
You must select the object(s) to which you want to add a fill color before you can
apply the fill color.
You can also use the Mini Toolbar to change the fill color of
an object.
You must click the arrow on the Shape Fill button to display
the color palette. If you click the button, PowerPoint changes
the fill of the selected object to the color displayed on the
Shape Fill button.

APPLYING A FILL EFFECT
Discussion
Special fill effects can be added to the background of an object using Shape Fill
menu. Fill effects include gradients, textures, and pictures.
A gradient is a color effect in which the shading gradually changes. Options on the
Gradient Fill page include using one, two, or preset colors for the gradient. If you
elect to use only one color, you can use the Dark/Light slider to adjust whether the
color fades to black or to white. The Transparency slider adjusts the density at the
starting and ending points of the gradient colors. Under Gradient Fill you can select a
direction for the shading and choose Linear, Radial, Rectangular or path variants.
You can also choose from a number of preset gradients, such as Early Sunset,
Horizon, and Desert. You can change the transparency and direction of a preset
gradient, but not its colors.
You can select a textured background from the Texture page. Colors and textures are
preset and cannot be modified. You can use the Other Textures button to search for
other background files.
The Picture page allows you to select a graphic file or another clip art picture as the
background for a graphic object. You can use the Select Picture button to search for
pictures.

DRAWING A LINE
Discussion
Lines can be used to indicate separate sections of a slide or to add visual effects. For
example, you can add lines to separate bullet items in a slide. Lines can be drawn at
various angles and positions. Drawn lines can be moved and sized as desired. There
are a number of different line styles you can use including Arrowheads, Scribble, and
Basic.
When you draw a line, the mouse pointer changes into a crosshair. The center of the
crosshair is the point at which the line is drawn.

FORMATTING LINES
Discussion
You can format lines by changing the line style, color, weight, and dash style. In an
enclosed object, the line is the border around the object. In an open object, such as a
line or an arrow, the line is the object itself.
You can change the style of an existing line. Line styles pertain to the thickness of a
line, as well as to double and triple line styles. For example, to more dramatically
separate items in a slide, you can increase the width of the line that separates them. In
addition, you can change the style of an existing line to a dash style. Dash styles break
the line into dots or dashes.
You can also change the line color of a drawing object. Changing the line color can
enhance the appearance of the object. For example, if you are creating a logo,
changing the line color can help distinguish the border of the logo.
The Shape Outline button has two components. The Shape Outline button itself
always displays the currently selected color. To apply this line color to a selected

CREATING A TEXT BOX
Discussion
Although most slide layouts include placeholders for text boxes, you can create text
boxes as desired to label objects or graphics, add captions, or create additional notes.
Text created using the Text Box command in the Text group on the Insert tab is not
part of the presentation slide outline; the outline includes only the text created in
layout text placeholders. Text boxes can be added to the slide master to display the
same text on every slide (such as a company name).
You can either click at the desired slide location to create a text box, or you can drag
to draw it. When you click to create a text box, the text box automatically expands as
needed to accommodate the text. When you drag to create a text box, however, the
text box has a fixed width, the text wraps to a new line when it reaches the right edge
of the text box, and the text box automatically expands in length to fit the text. Using
either method, you can resize the text box to fit the text, or you can wrap the text to fit
the text box.
You can edit text in a text box the same way you edit any other presentation text.
Adding text to a text box
You can manually create a new line in a text box by pressing
the [Enter] key.

FLIPPING AN OBJECT
Discussion
In addition to freely rotating an object, you can flip an object horizontally or
vertically. Flipping an object creates a mirror image of the object. Flipping is useful if
you have an object such as a pointing hand facing the wrong direction or if the object
contains text that will display upside down if rotated.

ARRANGING OBJECTS
Discussion
Arranging refers to the placement of objects, front to back. PowerPoint automatically
arranges objects as you draw them and places each object on a unique graphic layer.
You can arrange an unlimited number of objects in PowerPoint.
PowerPoint arranges objects in the order in which they were created. As a result, the
first object drawn is at the back of the stack and the last object drawn is at the front.
For example, if you draw an oval to represent an eye and then draw a circle to
represent the eye's pupil in the same location on the slide, the pupil appears in front of
the eye.
You can change the order of stacked objects so that a selected object moves in front of
or behind other objects.
The Arrange group in the Drawing Tools Format contextual tab includes four
options for changing the order of stacked objects. The Bring to Front and Send to
Back buttons move a selected object to the front or back of the entire stack. The
Bring Forward and Send Backward options move a selected object forward or
backward, one layer at a time.
PowerPoint 2007 - Lvl 1 Lesson 12 - Working with Drawing Objects
Villanova UNIT Training© Page 253
Arranging objects
At times, an object may be completely hidden in the stack.
You can locate the desired object by pressing the [Tab] key or
the [Shift+Tab] key combination to move through the objects
in the stack one at a time or by using the Selection Pane
button in the Arrange group.
You can also access the Arrange submenu from the Arrange
button in the Drawing group on the Home tab.

ALIGNING OBJECTS
Discussion
You can align objects to create rows or columns of objects or to make a slide appear
symmetrical. For example, if you draw squares to represent windows on a house, you
can align the windows so that they appear symmetrical and level on the house.
You can align objects either vertically or horizontally, as well as by their edges or
their centers.

GROUPING OBJECTS
Discussion
When objects are grouped, you can work with them as if they were a single item.
Grouping is particularly useful when multiple objects are intended to work together.
When you combine multiple objects into a single group, you can size and position the
grouped objects as a single object. In other words, you can copy, flip, rotate, and size
the grouped objects as a unit, rather than duplicating, moving, or changing each item
individually.
Although an item may be grouped, you can still select an individual object in the
group and modify it separately. However, if you want to change the size or position of
PowerPoint 2007 - Lvl 1 Lesson 12 - Working with Drawing Objects
Villanova UNIT Training© Page 257
a object in a group, you must ungroup it. After you have made the desired changes,
you can regroup the objects to preserve the object as a single unit.
Imported graphics (such as pictures and clip art) often consist of multiple objects that
have already been grouped into a single object. You can create interesting effects by
ungrouping them and making changes to the individual objects. You can change
object attributes or rearrange, resize, and delete objects from the graphic. You can
even combine elements from different images. You can then regroup the objects to
form new, modified images.
A grouped object
If you want to ungroup an object to make individual changes
to it, select the object you want to ungroup, select the
Drawing Tools Format contextual tab, and then select the
Ungroup option from the Group menu in the Arrange group.
If you ungroup a Clip Art picture, PowerPoint prompts you
to convert it into a Microsoft Office drawing object.
You can select multiple objects by holding the [Shift] key and
clicking each object you want to select.
You can also access the Group submenu from the Arrange
button in the Drawing group on the Home tab.

RUNNING A SLIDE SHOW
Discussion
You can use a slide show to display a PowerPoint presentation on or from your
computer. Slide Show view allows you to preview a presentation. You can view
individual slides or the entire slide show in sequence to assess the flow of the
presentation. When you advance past the last slide in a slide show, the slide show ends
and the presentation appears in its previous view.
Running a slide show is one of the most effective ways to evaluate the impact of a
presentation before adding your own information, illustrations, and designs. For
example, you can run a slide show to determine if the individual slides are placed in
the most appropriate order for emphasizing the points you are trying to make.
Running a slide show
In Normal view, the Slide Show button begins the slide show
at the selected slide. In Slide Sorter view, the slide show
begins with the selected slide or with the slide to the left of the
vertical line.
You can also run a slide show by selecting the View tab and
then the Slide Show button in the Presentation Views group.
This method always begins the slide show with the first slide.
PowerPoint 2007 - Lvl 1 Lesson 13 - Using Slide Show View

NAVIGATING A SLIDE SHOW
Discussion
PowerPoint 2007 includes many tools for navigating and working with slide shows.
The Slide Show toolbar appears in the lower left corner in Slide Show view. You may
need to move your pointer for the toolbar to appear, as it is semi-transparent and
Lesson 13 - Using Slide Show View PowerPoint 2007 - Lvl 1
Page 264 Villanova UNIT Training©
unobtrusive. The toolbar contains four buttons. The forward and back arrows on the
toolbar can be used to advance to the next and previous slides in the show.
The shortcut menu in the slide show provides access to all the navigation, screen and
pointer options. The Go to Slide menu, which allows you to jump to a slide, displays
a list of all the slides in the show. The Last Viewed option returns you to the
previously viewed slide. Therefore, if you jumped from slide 2 to slide 7, the Last
Viewed option will jump back to slide 2.
The Switch Programs option suspends the PowerPoint slide show and displays the
Windows taskbar so you can switch to another application. For example, you may
want to switch to Excel to display a chart you have not included in the presentation.
When you switch back, you can resume your show.
The Pointer Options menu is displayed on the shortcut menu or when you select the
Pointer button on the Slide Show toolbar. You can use this menu to control pointer
and pen options. The Pointer Options menu contains the Arrow Options submenu.
You can use this submenu to hide and display the mouse pointer during the slide
show.
Navigating a slide show
If the Slide Show toolbar does not appear, you can right-click
the mouse to display the available options as a menu.
PowerPoint now includes a White Screen option along with
the Black Screen option on the Screen menu. These options
allow you to display a black or white screen while you are
discussing or focusing on other issues.

CREATING A CUSTOM SHOW
Discussion
Normally, the flow of your presentation will reflect the order in which you have
placed your PowerPoint 2007 slides. However, there may be situations when you are
using an existing presentation but want to repeat, omit or reorder slides. It could be
that you want to repeat certain slides to reinforce a point or decide to leave out
sensitive information when presenting to different audiences. This is where the
Custom Show feature becomes very useful. Custom Show enables you to present just
the slides you want to use from an existing presentation.
