6.2 Developing a Presentation 6.2.1 Presentation Views 6.2.1.1 Understand the uses of different presentation view modes: normal view, slide sorter view, outline view, Notes View, slide show view. And 6.2.1.3 Change between presentation view modes: normal view, slide sorter view, slide show view. PowerPoint has five views from which you can choose to create and edit your slides. To access the views, you can go to the View Tab. Each view will have a different set of icons from which editing can be done. Each view also displays the slide in a unique way. To select a view, click on the appropriate view icon.

The first view is the Normal View. In this view, you edit one slide at a time. With the current slide, you can add text, draw graphics, add clip art, and change the layout. This is the default view. It allows you to see and work with several aspects of the presentation simultaneously, including

the slide, the outline/slide sorter section, and the task pane.

The second view is the Slide Sorter View. This view shows a miniature of your slides. Under each slide it shows the slide number and transition between slides.

ECDL Module 6 Notes

© TCTC Page 11

The third view is the Notes page view. While the notes for each slide are available in the Normal view, this view shows your slide in the upper half of the window and your notes in the bottom half in a new window. This is a useful view for correlating your notes with a particular slide. The notes

you enter for each slide can be used as notes during your presentation since they do not appear when the slide show is running. You can also print this view.

The fourth view is the Slide Show from Current Slide. This view runs your presentation from the slide you were currently editing. To get out of the Slide Show view and back to one of the edit views, press the ESC key.

An outline of your slides is accessible by clicking the Outline tab in the left pane while you are in Normal View. You can

switch between the Slides tab and the Outline tab. 6.2.1.2 Recognize good practice in adding slide titles: use a different title for each slide to distinguish it in outline view, when navigating in slide show view. Ideally you should give a different title to each slide in your presentation. This will help you to quickly distinguish one slide from another in outline view.

6.2.2 Slides 6.2.2.1 Choose a different built-in slide layout for a slide.

On the View tab, in the

Presentation Views

group, click Normal.

In Normal view, in the

pane that contains the

Outline and Slide tabs,

click the Slides tab.

Click the slide that you

want to apply a layout to.

On the Home tab, in the

Slides group, click Layout, and then select the layout that you want.

This can be done by ticking the check box next to ‘Don’t show on title slide.’ 6.2.3.3 Apply automatic slide numbering, automatically updated date, no updating date into footer of specific slides, all slides in a presentation. Insert Date and Time in the slide footer: If you need the date / time just tick the Date and Time, select a date / time format from the drop-down menu and then choose between an update date (that means that every time you open this PowerPoint presentation the date will update automatically) or a Fixed Date (that means that if you write example 17/07/1987 it will always appear the same in the presentation. Insert slide numbers: If you need the slide numbers just tick on the box next to the text Slide Number.

6.3 Text 6.3.1 Handling Text 6.3.1.1 Recognize good practice in creating slide content: use short concise phrases, bullet points, numbered lists. An effective presentation contains text which is concise and to the point. It is highly recommended that you add a title to every slide to make it easier to navigate through your slide show if necessary. 6.3.1.2 Enter text into a placeholder in standard, outline view. To add text to the title of a slide, click in the box that reads Click to add title. Next, type the text you want to be used as a title. Do not press ENTER at the end of the line unless you wish to place another line of text in the title. To add text to the slide, click in the box labeled Click to add text. All text you enter will be placed on the slide. If the text is too long for the line, PowerPoint automatically wraps the text to the next line.

6.3.2 Formatting 6.3.2.1 Change text formatting: font sizes, font types. Text formatting allows you to add a professional look to your presentation but be

careful and don't overuse the effects as this will make your document look

anything but professional.

It is always best to use the one Font Type throughout the whole document, as

this gives the document a look of conformity. The use of different colors and

funky fonts detract from a document and makes them look completely

amateurish.

Changing the Font Arial is the font that is currently being used. Your

computer might show a different font name here.

2007.

Click Line Spacing Options, and then select the options that you

want under Spacing. See the following list of available options for

more information.

Single – This option accommodates the largest font in that line, plus a small

amount of extra space. The amount of extra space varies depending on the font

that is used.

1.5 lines - This option is one-and-one-half times that of single line spacing.

Double - This option is twice that of single line spacing.

Exactly - This option sets fixed line spacing, expressed in points. For example,

if the text is in a 10-point font, you can specify 12 points as the line spacing.

Multiple - This option sets line spacing that can be expressed in numbers

greater than 1. For example, setting line spacing to 1.15 will increase the space

by 15 percent, and setting line spacing to 3 increases the space by 300 percent
