have a presentation.

layout or design.

The layout or design is how

things are arranged on the

slide.

You can change the

background color or style of

the slide.

You can also change the

font style, color and size.

The font is the style of lettering

or text.

You can insert text (letters or

words) on your slides.

Insert means to add or place.

You can insert pictures (clip

art or photos) on your slides.

You can insert graphics (like

charts or diagrams) on your

slides.

your slides.

Animations make the pictures

or text on your slides move

around.

You can add transitions to

your slides.

Transitions change the way

each slide moves to the next

slide during a presentation.

your slides. You do this by

adding a sound (like a

transition or animation.

When you have all your

slides and run your

You must always
