Opening a Word Outline as a PresentationOpening a Word Outline as a Presentation

• When organizing the content for a presentation, you may find it helpful to write your text in a Word document and then import it into PowerPoint.

• Use heading styles in the Word document to ensure that the content will convert to a presentation in a uniform manner. – Each Heading 1 style becomes the title on the slide,

and each Heading 2 style becomes the main text on the slide.

– After you have saved the Word document, you can then import the content, creating the base slides for your presentation.

Creating Tables in PresentationsCreating Tables in Presentations

• When you have a large amount of data on one slide, you will want to organize the data so it is easier for your audience to understand.

• A table helps you organize information for effective display.

– Tables are organized by rows, which display horizontally, and columns, which display vertically.

– The intersection of a row and a column is referred to as a cell.

– Tables can be used to display everything from dates in a calendar to sales numbers to product inventory.

Adding Screenshots to SlidesAdding Screenshots to Slides

• A screenshot captures the image on the computer screen (such as an application’s interface or a Web page) and creates an image that can then be used just as any other drawing or picture.

• With previous versions of PowerPoint, you had to use another application to create the screenshot and then insert the image through PowerPoint.

• In PowerPoint 2010, you can now use the Insert Screenshot command to capture and insert screenshots into presentations all from within the PowerPoint interface.
