MICROSOFT POWERPOINT 2000LEARNING STAGE 1

Microsoft PowerPoint is a computerised presentation program that uses the Windows interface to itsfullest advantage. A presentation program is designed to create a Slide Show that can be displayedon either the computer screen or projected onto a bigger screen or board. A presentation is made upof a group of slides, each of which can be tailored with special effects, pictures, charts, tables,colours and text. PowerPoint is designed to inform the viewer with visual communications which ismuch more effective in many cases than verbal communications. PowerPoint is designed to supportthe presenter by prompting or introducing the subjects/topics covered during the presentation. Thistraining program will introduce the most commonly used functions needed for creating aPowerPoint presentation.

LESSON 1.Step 1. Have your computer switched On and be at the Windows desktop.

Step 2. Run the Microsoft PowerPoint program.

There are four main bars at the top of the Microsoft PowerPoint window. The Name bar,Main Menu bar, Formatting bar and Standard bar. Each toolbar except the Name bar hasa Toolbar icon displayed at the very beginning, it controls the placement of the toolbar. Ifone of your toolbars are not fully displayed it will present you with a scroll icon so you can scrollacross to find the remaining icons that belong to that toolbar. We believe it is wise to have theStandard and Formatting toolbars fully displayed so the commonly used functions are constantlydisplayed and easily accessible on your screen.

Step 5. If the two toolbars are not fully displayed one under the other as shown in the diagram below, then move the 'Formatting' toolbar down under the 'Standard' toolbar as shown in the second diagram below.
