In this practise, we must to do this Microsoft Power Point 2007 course, and write a summary in our blogs.
When we open Microsoft Power Point 2007, we can see four main areas; the slide pane, where we work directly on the slide, the place holders, where we add text, images, or other elements, the slides tab where we navigate through our slides, and the notes pane, where we can add our own notes.
If we want to add a new slide, we can use the New Slide button, and there are two ways to use this button; clicking the top of the button, to add directly a new slide, or clicking the bottom for choose a layout for the new slide.
A Alyout allows us to add different items on our slide with many differents designs; there's a tittle slide layout, for showing the first slide, or the Tittle and Content layout, used for adding different contents to a slide such movie files, pictures, or text, with a all-purpose placeholder. With this all-purpose placeholder, we are able to format a text in many ways: chanching the form and paragraph formatting, fitting text automaticatly, etc.
With Microsoft Power Point 2007 we are able to use slides from other presentations, inserting it directly, or chanching it using a different format or layout.
After a little advice about the use of the note editor, we made a practise session and a little test yourself, as usual in other practises.
If we want to make a more attractive presentation, we cane use different themes included in Microsoft Power Point 2007. A theme can change the background design, the color scheme, font types and sizes and placeholders positions. To choose a theme, we must the design tab, and choose a theme clicking it. It will directly apply to our presentation.
There ar two ways for inserting images or other items in a slide; the first method consists in clicking the clip art icon in the placeholder, choosing an item, and placing it in our silde. The other method is using the insert tab on the ribbon, that works at the same way.If we want to adjust a picture, we can use the Picture Tools, that are avaible when we have our picture selected.
If we want to align an element on our slide, we can use a single tool, the Arrange commands, that works for every element.
Then, we made a practise session about choosing themes, insert a picture and an animation effect. After that, we made some exercices in other Test Yourself.
When we are creating a Slide Show, we can see how it's going to look using the Slide Show view. With this view, every slide fills the screen and we are able to navigate through different slides using the navigation arrows or the mouse central wheel. To open this view, we must click the Slide Show icon or press F5 on our keyboard.
With Power Point 2007 we are able to check spelling and review the comments as Microsoft Word, just clicking the review tab on the ribbon.
With handouts we can print our presentations using th printing preview. In this preview, we can choose different handouts and how they will look when our presentation are printed. We can also use this tool to print our speaker notes, with the same method.
With Print Preview we can also see how is going to look our presentation if we are going to print it in grayscale instead of color printing, and save it in our computer with the color mode what we have choosed.
Microsoft Power Point 2007 can also copy our presentation to a folder or burn it in a CD by clicking the Microsoft Office button and choosing the Publish option.
Finally, we made another practise session about making a presentation with Power Point and we have answered some more questions in other test. And then, the practise has ended.
