POWERPOINTMay 2004

To move the text box - move the mouse over the border of the text box, and once the 4-way arrow appears - click and drag the box to wherever you want to place it

remember - the 2-way arrow is for changing the size and shape of a text box and the 4-way arrow is for moving the text box.

And don’t forget to change the date - otherwise, right at the start of your talk, you are telling your audience its an old presentation!

2

To insert a text box insert - text box - clickthen start typing the text box will adjust to the amount of text automatically

If you try to move the text box before you have added text - the box will disappear

And if the text box does disappear…just insert another text box and try again!

3

You can put your text box...

anywhere on the page...

that you like

And you can also have different formatting for the text in each individual text box

4

To insert a new slide

go to insert - new slide!

And we recommend you choose the blank slide that does not have any existing formatting

5

But if you want to delete this slide (or any other) then go back to the new slide and then click edit - and then click delete slide

You can delete any slide that you are currently on by using the same technique - that is, click edit and then click delete slide

6

And if you want the last slide to come back …use the undo button

Slide NumberTo help keep track of our slides, it is probably a good idea to give each slide a number - in the bottom right or left hand corners

View - header & footer - slide number choose - don’t show on title slide and also choose apply to all

And you can also add a message at the bottom of each slide as well

We can animate text boxes separately - just note where the blinking cursor is!

We can also choose the order the text will appear on the screen by clicking on one of the arrows located in the upper left hand quarter.
