Introduction

 

Microsoft Office PowerPoint refers to Microsoft's presentation software.

Users can perform presentations on projectors or computers, or print and produce presentations on film for wider applications.

Microsoft Office PowerPoint can not only create presentations, but also hold face-to-face meetings, remote meetings, or present presentations to audiences online. What Microsoft Office PowerPoint produces is called a presentation, and its format suffix is: ppt, pptx; Alternatively, it can be saved in PDF, image format, etc. In versions 2010 and above, it can be saved as a video format. Each page in a presentation is called a slide.


 

Content application

A complete set of PPT files generally includes: title, animation, PPT cover, preface, table of contents, transition page, chart page, image page, text page, back cover, ending animation, etc; The materials used include: text, pictures, charts, animations, sounds, videos, etc; Internationally leading PPT design companies include themegallery, poweredtemplates, presentationload, etc; The application level of PPT in China is gradually improving, and the application fields are becoming wider and wider; PPT is becoming an important component of people's work and life, playing a pivotal role in fields such as work reports, corporate promotion, product promotion, wedding celebrations, project bidding, management consulting, education and training.

Album production

1. Start PowerPoint and create a new blank presentation. Click on "Picture" in the "Insert" menu, choose the "New Album" command, and the "Album" dialog box will pop up.


 


2. The images in the album can be selected from the image file on the disk (click on the "File/Disk" button), as well as from external devices such as scanners and digital cameras (click on the "Scanner/Camera" button). Usually, we click the "File/Disk" button to select an existing image file on the disk.

In the pop-up dialog box for selecting and inserting image files, you can press and hold the Shift key (continuous) or Ctrl key (discontinuous) to select an image file. After selecting it, click the "Insert" button to return to the album dialog box. If you need to select image files from another folder, you can click this button again to join.

3. All selected image files will appear in the "Pictures in Album" file list in the album dialog box. Click on the image name to see the corresponding effect in the preview box. Click the "↑" and "↓" buttons below the image file list to change the order in which images appear. Click the [Delete] button to delete the added image files.

Through the six buttons provided below the "preview" box of the image, we can also rotate the selected image, change the brightness and contrast of the image, and so on.


 

⒋ Next, let's take a look at the layout design of the album. Click on the drop-down list on the right side of 'Image Layout' to specify the number of images in each slide and whether to display image titles. Clicking on the drop-down list to the right of "Frame Shape" can specify the shape of the frame for each image in the album, but the function must be effective when the "Fit to Slide Size" option is not used in "Picture Layout". Assuming we can choose "Rounded Rectangle", which requires professional imaging tools to achieve the desired effect. Finally, you can specify a suitable template for the slide and click the [Browse] button on the right side of the "Design Mode" box to make the corresponding settings.

 

 

 

Set Button

The link function is often used in PPT presentations, and we can use the "action button" function to achieve it. Next, we will create a "Classroom Practice" button that links to the 17th slide.

⒈Execute the 'Slide Show Animation Button Customization' command。

⒉Drag and drop a button on the slide, and the system will automatically pop up the 'Action Settings' dialog box。

⒊Then select the "hyperlink to" option, click the dropdown button on the right side, and in the pop-up dropdown list, select the "slide" option to open the "hyperlink to slide" dialog box. Select the 17th slide and confirm to return to。

⒋Right click on the button, select the "Add Text" option from the pop-up shortcut menu, and then enter the text (such as "Classroom Exercise")。

⒌Set the font size and font of the text, adjust the button size, and position it in the appropriate position。

Document Merge

PPT documents are a commonly used presentation used in many company activities, with a unique format. Due to the insertion of many graphics and the addition of some animation effects, it is a bit troublesome to compare the differences between two presentations. However, using PowerPoint's compare and merge presentation function can not only compare the changes in the text and graphics of two presentations, And be able to find out the changes in the animation, so that you can have a clear understanding of the changes in your presentation. In terms of operation, the comparison and merging presentation function of PowerPoint is significantly different from that of Word。


Start Microsoft Office PowerPoint, open the presentation, such as VPN product introduction. PPT, execute the "Tools>Compare and Merge Presentations" command, select other presentations to compare in the pop-up dialog box, such as VPN product introduction (modified). PPT, and click the "Merge" button. Then, a Tooltip about "One or more presentations were sent without using the 'Mail Recipient (Review)' command on the 'File' menu" will pop up. Click the "Continue" button directly here。


 


Set up programs

Users can open any other program during the slide show, such as Microsoft Excel or Internet Explorer. And the program is opened outside of Microsoft Office PowerPoint and will not be embedded in the presentation. The specific method is:


Firstly, in the slide show, select the text or object used to open the program and execute the 'Action Settings' command from the' Slide Show 'menu. If the user wants to open the program by clicking on the selected object during the slide show, please use the "Click Mouse" tab; If you want to open the program when the mouse moves over an object, click the 'Mouse Over' tab. Click 'Run Program' and then type the path or click 'Browse' to find the program you want to open. After completing, click 'OK' to close the dialog box.


estimated time

⒈Method for automatically setting slide show intervals during rehearsal:

⒈Open the presentation to set the time for。

⒉Click on the "Show/Rehearse Timing" command in the "Slide Show" menu to activate the rehearsal method. At this point, the slide show begins and the timing system starts。

⒊To retime, you can click the shortcut button. To pause, you can click the shortcut button. To continue, you need to click the button again.

⒋When Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003 finishes playing the last slide, a Tooltip will pop up automatically. If you choose "Yes", the time recorded in the above operation will be retained and will be played in the future when this set of slides is played. At the same time, the result shown in Figure 2 will pop up, showing the corresponding time for each slide show; Click 'No' and all time settings you have made will be cancelled.

Make symbols

In general, users use bullets such as 1.2.3, a, b, and c. In fact, we can also use image files as bullets.

Firstly, please ask the user to select the text or list to add image bullets to. Click on "Format>Bullets and Numbering", and in the "Bulleted Items" tab, click "Image" to bring up the Clip Manager, where users can select image bullets. In the Picture Bullets dialog box, click a picture, and then click OK.


Using the motherboard

Using a master can define some common features that each slide has. These features include: position and format of text, background pattern, whether page numbers, footers, and dates are displayed on each slide, etc。

The most commonly used master is the slide master. It controls the formatting of all slides except the title slide. The changes on the master are reflected on each slide. If you want individual slides to look different from the master, simply modify that slide. The usage of slide masters is as follows:

⑴Open "motherboard" on the "View" menu and click "Slide motherboard"。

⑵Add objects to the slide master。

⑶Click the 'Close' button on the 'Motherboard' toolbar。

 

Picture Movement

PowerPoint 2003 added effects such as "emphasis", "exit", and "action path (including drawing custom paths)" (as shown in Figure 2). Especially the "Draw Custom Path" effect can make objects move along a custom path, which brings great convenience to teachers in creating courseware and solves the problem of implementing this effect in the 97/2000 version, which is both cumbersome and not ideal。

PowerPoint 2003 provides various animations such as "Basic", "Fine", "Mild", and "Gorgeous" for the "Enter (Animation Effect During Object Entry)", "Emphasis (Animation Effect After Object Entry)", and "Exit (Animation Effect During Object Exit)" effects. The "Action Path" and "Draw Custom Path" have animation paths such as "Basic", "Lines and Curves", "Special", "Freeform Polygon", and "Free Curve", and have various animation effects. And for the same object, multiple different animation effects can be set. If the start and process times of each animation are appropriately set, the final effect is like Flash, which is amazing。

Animation Control

For animation methods, PowerPoint 2003 not only provides "mouse click" and "after (starting from the previous item)" control functions, but also adds two new features to control animation: "before (starting from the previous item)" and "trigger animation". By using the "before" animation method, multiple objects can be animated simultaneously in one slide, and the start time of different object animations can be set independently。


Trigger animation can set any object in the screen as a trigger. By clicking on it, all objects under the trigger can start moving according to the preset animation effect, and the set trigger can be reused multiple times. By using this animation method, it is possible to create effects similar to using buttons to control animation in software such as Authorware and Flash (using "action buttons" as triggers)。

 

 

SPEED CONTROL

In PowerPoint 97/2000, the time or speed of the object animation process is default and cannot be preset, while in 2003, this feature is impeccable and can be completely comparable to Authorware's animation time control. It has various options such as "very slow (6 seconds)", "slow (3 seconds)", "medium speed (2 seconds)", "fast (1 second)", and "very fast (0.5 seconds)" (as shown in Figure 3). If you still feel that it is not enough, you can directly enter the required time in the "Speed" column, which can be a few hours or at least 0.01 seconds.。

Table Insertion

Introduce the methods and techniques of inserting charts in the form of animations; By using charts, it is possible to more intuitively demonstrate the changes in data。

⒈Execute the 'Insert Chart' command to enter the chart editing state。

⒉Edit the corresponding data content in the data table, and then click the mouse in the blank space of the slide to exit the chart editing status。

⒊Adjust the size of the chart and position it appropriately。

Note: If there is an error in the data, double-click the chart directly to enter the chart editing status again and make modifications。

Convert Document

The presentation produced contains a large amount of text that has already been entered in Word and can be directly called in the following two methods:


Before using the following two calling methods, you need to set the text in Word: set the text that needs to be converted to styles such as "Title 1. Title 2. Title 3...", save and return。


Method 1: Insertion method: In PowerPoint, execute the "Insert → Slide (from Outline)" command, open the "Insert Outline" dialog box (as shown in the figure), select the Word document you want to call, and press the "Insert" button。


Note: Following this method, documents in formats such as text files and Kingsoft text can be inserted into the slide。


Method 2: Sending method. In Word, open the corresponding document and execute the "File>Send>Microsoft Office PowerPoint" command. The system automatically starts PowerPoint and converts the formatted document in Word to the presentation。

 

 

Autoplay

Automatic slide switching; In PowerPoint, you can set a corresponding time for each slide to automatically switch after reaching the predetermined time without manually clicking on the switch: first select the slide in the normal view, then select "Slide Show" → "Slide Switch", under "Slide Change Method", select the "Every" check box, and then enter the number of seconds to display the slide on the screen。


Quick Start Method


If the slide has already been created, it will only be played back in the future without modifying it. You can choose 'File Save As' and choose to save the slide type as' PowerPoint Show (*. pps)' in the open window. In the future, double-click the file in the Explorer and PowerPoint will automatically play the slide instead of opening it for editing。

Replace Master

Flexibly calling templates

PowerPoint provides a wide range of templates that can be flexibly selected according to needs: choose "File" ->"New". In the open task pane, you can see that it provides three ways to call templates: "New", "New from existing presentation", and "New from template".


Flexible selection of templates

Before PowerPoint XP, calling templates was very rigid, and only the same template could be applied to slides in presentations. PowerPoint XP has made significant improvements to this by allowing you to choose various templates for slides in your presentation. First, select the "Task pane" under the "View" menu and open the "Slide Design" task pane. In the Normal view, select the slides to apply the template to (if there are multiple slides to apply the same template, you can press and hold the Ctrl key to select one by one). Finally, point to a template displayed in the task pane, click the drop-down button on the right to open the menu, and select Apply to Selected Slides。


Apply Color Scheme

I don't know if you have noticed that the "color scheme" in PowerPoint is actually a special template. If you want to apply a color scheme to multiple slides, you can hold down the Ctrl key to select multiple slides in the "Slide" window, then click "Color Scheme" in the "Slide Design" task pane, and finally click your favorite "Color Scheme" in the task pane, The selected slide will use this color scheme. If you want to quickly apply design templates, animation schemes, or text layouts to multiple slides, you can also use this technique.

Right click to create a new

First, enter the C: Documents and Settings (username) Templates folder, right-click, select "New" ->"PowerPoint Presentation" to create a new PowerPoint file, double-click on the file, and then define the colors, fonts, and so on. Finally, select it and rename it to the pwrpnt10.pot file.

In the future, right-click the mouse in the Explorer, select "New" → "PowerPoint Presentation", and then double-click the newly created presentation. You will find that it has already applied the settings in the pwrpnt10.pot file. It is extremely convenient to create your own personalized PowerPoint presentation files.


Save Template As

如果得到了一个制作精美的演示文稿,希望在以后自己制作演示文稿时也能用到这样的设计。这时就可以将它另存为模板:单击“文件→新建”,在“新建演示文稿”任务窗格的“根据现有演示文稿新建”之下,单击“选择演示文稿”,再选择所需的演示文稿,然后单击“创建”。接着,删除新模板中不需要的文本、幻灯片或设计对象,然后确认更改。完成修改以后执行“文件”菜单中的“另存为”。在“文件名”框中,键入模板的名称。在“保存类型”框中,单击“演示文稿设计模板”,单击“保存”按钮即可。

演示模板

When you click the 'New' button on the 'Standard' toolbar, PowerPoint will display a default design slide. In fact, it is entirely possible to change this design to always include some commonly used elements, so there is no need to change these contents every time a presentation is created, which brings a lot of convenience: click the "New" button on the "Standard" toolbar. Then select View → Master → Slide Master. Next, you can make changes on the slide master. After making the changes, on the Slide Master View toolbar, click 'Close Master View'. Finally, select 'File' → 'Save As'. In the "Save as type" box, select "Presentation design template"; In the File Name box, type 'blank' and then click 'Save'. Close the template.

Application Layout

PowerPoint fully supports using multiple templates in a single presentation! This way, you don't have to worry about the monotony of the layout: first open the slide that you want to change the template, select "Format" → "Slide Design", and a "Slide Design" task pane will appear on the right side of the main window. Just move the mouse over the template you want to apply (please don't rush to click on the template), and a down arrow will appear on the right side of the template. Click this arrow to execute "Apply to Selected Slides" in the pop-up menu. This way, this slide has a template that is different from other pages.

Replace Slide

If you want to replace or add a slide master, you can choose "View" → "Master" → "Slide Master". Then click the 'Design' button in the 'Slide Master View' toolbar. If you want to replace the selected master in the presentation instead of all masters, then select the master in the thumbnail on the left. Next, in the "Slide Design" task pane, point to the desired template and click the arrow. Then, if you want to replace the selected master with the new design template's master, click 'Replace Selected Design'; If you want to replace all the current masters with the new design template's master, click 'Replace All Designs'; To add a new design template and master in the presentation, click 'Add Design Scheme'.
