Using Microsoft PowerPoint for Electronic Presentations

(Keith J. Dreyer) The PowerPoint program makes it very easy to create a presentation. Once the program is open, users can choose between three basic modes: Outline View, Slide Sorter View, and Slide Show. Outline View can be used to design and build a PowerPoint presentation. Outline View provides a complete outline of the entire presentation on the left side of the screen and the highlighted slide on the right side of the screen. The outline on the left includes the title of each slide and any text used in the slide. In Outline View, users create new slides, add text, change formatting, and insert images. Text can be typed directly into the outline on the left or directly into the slide on the right.
