CONCEPT NOTES

PowerPoint 2010 is a presentation software that allows you to create dynamic slide
presentations that can include animation, narration, images, and videos. In this lesson, you will
learn your way around the PowerPoint 2010 environment, including getting to know the
new Backstage view.

Navigating PowerPoint to create a slide presentation

PowerPoint uses slides to build a presentation. To create an engaging presentation, PowerPoint


allows you to add text, bulleted lists, images, charts, and video to your slides. You can add as
many slides as you want to a presentation, and at any time you can view or play back your
presentation by selecting one of the slide show play options.

The Ribbon

The Ribbon contains multiple tabs, each with several groups of commands. Some tabs,
like Drawing Tools or Table Tools, may appear only when you are working with certain items like
images or tables. In addition, you can add your own customized tabs that contain your favorite
commands.

Backstage view

Backstage view gives you various options for saving, opening, printing, and sharing your
presentation. It is similar to the Microsoft Office button menu from PowerPoint 2007 and the File
Menu from earlier versions of PowerPoint. However, instead of just a menu it's a full-page view,
which makes it easier to work with.

To get to Backstage view:

1. Click the File tab

3. You can choose an option on the left side of the page.


4. To get back to your document, click any tab on the Ribbon.

Creating and opening presentations

PowerPoint files are called presentations. When you start a new project in PowerPoint, you'll need
to create a new presentation. You'll also need to know how to open an existing presentation.

To create a new blank presentation:


1. Click the File tab. This takes you to Backstage view.

2. Select New.
3. Select Blank presentation under Available Templates and Themes. It will be highlighted
by default.
4. Click Create. A new blank presentation appears in the PowerPoint window.
To open an existing presentation:
1. Click the File tab. This takes you to Backstage view.
2. Select Open. The Open dialog box appears.

3. Select your desired presentation, then click Open.

If you have opened the existing presentation recently, it may be easier to choose Recent from
the File tab instead of Open to search for your presentation.
