CHAPTER
2
ADDING NEW SLIDES
Every slide you create is based on a slide layout. There are a variety of
slide layouts that contain text or graphics and combinations of both.
A slide layout is a “template” for a slide with placeholders to place text,

charts, and graphics on a slide. It’s important to remember that a slide
layout, although it contains specific placeholders, can be customized to fit
your specific needs. That is, placeholders can be moved, sized, as well as
deleted from a particular slide.
When you start a presentation, the default starting slide is the Title
layout. The Slide Layout Task Pane allows you to select the layout you
want to use. You can change the layout of a slide at any time.
Steps:
 On the Home Tab, do one of the following:
 Click the Top of the New Slide command
-Or- (This will insert a new slide automatically)
 Click the Bottom of the New Slide command (This will
open a gallery of slide layout
choices)
 Click in the proper placeholder and
fill in your content

USING THE AUTOFIT SMART TAG
Microsoft Office uses a variety of icons called Smart Tags. They offer
additional options as you work in all the Office programs. One of the
PowerPoint smart tags is the AutoFit tag. It “pops up” automatically
when you enter text into a placeholder (i.e., a Sub-Title) and the text is
larger than the boundary of that placeholder. By default, PowerPoint
will shrink the text to fit the boundary. PowerPoint does offer you an
option to revert back to the original text size in the AutoFit Smart Tag.
The Control
AutoCorrect Options
command opens a
dialog box that allows
you to permanently turn
off the AutoFit option.
Just uncheck either of
both of the AutoFit
check boxes.

POWERPOINT 2007 IMAGE FORMATTING GALLERY
PowerPoint 2007 includes several new image formatting tools. These include the
Picture Styles gallery in the Picture Tools group. This gallery provides some
high quality image presentation formatting such as beveled edges, rotation, and
shadows. As with other Office 2007 programs, additional command ribbons
(such as Picture Tools) display when that type of object is selected.

APPLYING DESIGN THEMES
PowerPoint includes a group of design templates, called Themes, that can
be used to automatically format a presentation with background graphics
and colors, coordinated fonts, text colors and sizes, fill colors, as well as
customized bullets and master slides. Themes are applied from the
Themes Gallery in the Design Tab. Themes can be applied to all slides
or selected slides only. This makes for a very efficient method of
customizing presentations. Design Themes can also be applied from
existing presentations so that if you or a colleague have created a
presentation, it can be used as the basis for the formatting of a new
presentation.
Steps:
 Click Design Tab
 Click to Open the Theme Gallery
 Select one of the Themes to apply

SAVING PRESENTATIONS
Just as with all programs, the first time you save your presentation, you
can use the Save or the Save As commands. After the file has been
saved, future updates can be accomplished efficiently with the Save
command.
It is important to note that, as do all the Microsoft Office programs,

PowerPoint 2007 has a feature called AutoRecover that saves your
presentation automatically. It is set to activate every 10 minutes. This
will help prevent accidental loss of a majority of your work. It is just as
important to remember to save your presentation as often as you can.
Remember: Save Early! Save Often!
Steps:
 Click Office Button: Save (or Save As) command
 Type the appropriate filename
 Navigate to the appropriate drive and folder (if necessary)
 Click Save
CHAPTER
2
SAVING PRESENTATIONS
It is important to note that Office 2007 uses a new file format for its files.
The new format is called XML (Xtensible Markup Language) which is a
web-based format that should provide some benefits to users. These
include smaller file sizes, more compatibility with other operating system
platforms, and being more recoverable from file corruptions.
Office 2007 files are not directly compatible with older versions.
That means these files may not be readable in older versions. However, Great Tip!
one of the options that Office 2007 provides is the ability to save the file
as a “97-2003” file format. There will be some features and formatting
from the 2007 version that will not be able to be edited in the older
versions.
Former versions of PowerPoint applied a .ppt extension to its files.

PowerPoint 2007 applies an extension of .pptx.

CHAPTER
3 Exploring PowerPoint 2007 Views

Reference File: New Employee Orientation.pptx
NORMAL VIEW
There are several views in which to work in PowerPoint. Each view allows
you to perform some specific work. The primary view in PowerPoint is the
Normal View. It actually contains several views but its primary purpose
is to allow you to create and work on the detail of a slide.
The Normal View allows you to access the Notes Pages view as well as
the Outline view and the Slide Tab view. As discussed previously, the
Slide Tab view provides an efficient method of navigating between slides.
Each pane can be adjusted in size by dragging the edge of the pane
window with your mouse.
Other views such as Slide Sorter view and Slide Show view can be
accessed through the View menu or by clicking the View Buttons on the
bottom left of the screen. All these views are discussed in upcoming
pages.

Great Tip! The Outline and Slides

tabs change to display an
icon when the pane
becomes narrow, and, if
you only want to see the
current slide in the Adjust area
window as you edit, you with your

NOTES PAGES VIEW
Notes Pages View, also known as Speaker Notes, allows you to add
notes that can be used by the presenter during the presentation. This is
an excellent method to remind the presenter of important items to discuss
during the presentation that are not displayed on the slides. They can
also be used as handouts to the audience, if preferred.
You can format the text in Note Pages view just as you would text in the
slide. PowerPoint also allows you to print the slides with their notes. It is
important to note that you can only view the actual formatted text
when you print or preview your presentation.
In addition, you can display the notes during the slide show.
Steps:
 Click into the Notes Pages pane
 Adjust the size of the Notes Pages pane as needed using the
Splitter Bar
 Type the preferred content
 Select the text and format as preferred (i.e., font size, bul-
lets, etc.)

SELECTING TEXT IN “TEXT MODE” OR “GRAPHIC MODE”
In PowerPoint, all elements are considered graphic objects. Text
however, can be formatted in Text mode or Graphic mode. In “Text
mode,” just the text you have selected will be effected by the formatting
you apply. In “Graphic mode,” all the text within the placeholder will be
effected by the formatting you apply.
In “Text mode,” you will see a text cursor (blinking bar) within the
placeholder you have activated. The border of the placeholder will appear
as dashed lines.
In “Graphic mode,” no cursor will be visible. The border of the

placeholder will appear as a solid border.
One method to enter the Graphics mode in a text placeholder is to click

into it and press the <Esc> key.

Drag-And-Drop is very efficient when moving or copying text to another

location on the same slide. When copying or moving text to another slide,
the Copy or Cut command is preferable.
Moving the selection is accomplished simply by dragging it. Copying the

selection is done by holding the Control key and dragging . Remember,
when you are holding a key down while “mousing,” always
