OPENING MICROSOFT® POWERPOINT® 2007
To open Microsoft® PowerPoint® 2007, click on the icon on your desktop. If this is not available, use the
following steps:
Go to the START MENU
HOVER over ALL PROGRAMS When the programs appear, HOVER over MICROSOFT OFFICE
Select MICROSOFT OFFICE POWERPOINT 2007
THE USER INTERFACE
THE NEW INTERFACE
The new interface for Office 2007 is very different from previous versions because a new user interface is
used. This new ‘fluid user’ interface is called THE RIBBON.
The first thing that you might notice is that some of the menus are no longer there. Most importantly, the FILE
MENU is missing. This is the most disconcerting issue for new users, but fear not! All of the features that you
usually found in the FILE MENU are now behind the ubiquitous OFFICE BUTTON (see mouse arrow on image
below). You will also find tools and customization capabilities here.
Clicking on the OFFICE BUTTON will reveal the following menu (with the exception of the Workflows button):

THE RIBBON
The foundation of the new user interface is THE RIBBON. This REPLACES the old FILE MENUS, and provides
a visual button for the most common features in each program. The ribbon is the primary user interface for
Word, PowerPoint®, Access and Excel®.
HOW TO USE THE RIBBON
The first items to notice on the ribbon are the TABS. These are similar to the dividers that we previously use in
our binders. These tabs hold functions that are grouped by category. Below is a screen shot of the standard
ribbon tabs in PowerPoint:
In each program, the most common features are contained on the Home Tab. For PowerPoint, these features
include clipboard functions, font editing, paragraph editing, alignment, and some cell style formatting options.
There are two ways to use the ribbon.
1. USING YOUR MOUSE:
a.
Select the tab that you need
b. Select the item from the tab
2. PRESS THE ALT BUTTON ONCE TO TURN ON KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS:
a. Press the letter for the tab you want
b.
Press the letter for the feature that you want
Below is an example of using the mouse to
select the Insert Tab, followed by the Table tool
button:
Below is an example of the Alt keyboard
shortcuts:

FINDING MORE FEATURES
The ribbon is designed to provide the features that are accessed most often by users according to research
from Microsoft®. We all know that there are things that we use that might not be popular with other users, so
how do we find these tools now that they are not on the ribbon?
Fear not, there are still ways to customize PowerPoint to your specificneeds. The QUICK ACCESS TOOLBAR provides you with these
options.
When using special features such as images, charts and tables,
the tools that you need will magically appear on a new set of tabs.
This eliminates the need to drill through toolbars that are not
applicable to what you are doing at the time. I call these
appearing and disappearing tabs MAGIC TABS. To the right is an
example of part of one of these magic tabs that appears when a
text box is selected, this tab does not appear when the text box isnot selected.
Finally, the old DIALOG BOXES are still
available in most circumstances. These
are accessed through the small button at
the bottom right of each group on the
ribbon.
CUSTOMIZING THE QUICK ACCESS TOOLBAR:
The QUICK ACCESS TOOLBAR is located
at the top left of the window by the Office
Button, and you can add your favourite
features for one-click access.
You can customize the Quick Access
Toolbar features using the small dropdown
arrow beside the toolbar and either
selecting the features that are available, or
be selecting MORE COMMANDS. Use this
to add your favourite features, and to
remove features unwanted features.

HOVER-OVER FORMATTING (LIVE PREVIEW)
This may be one of the most effective time-management tools provided by the new Office Suite. Instead of
selecting a formatting option, then finding that it is not correct, and going through the formatting again, all you
have to do is hover over the feature with your mouse to preview the changes that will occur. If you want to turn
off the option to have hover-over formatting, then you will need to turn off the LIVE-PREVIEW option from the
POWERPOINT OPTIONS behind the OFFICE BUTTON.
USING OPTIONS
Every program that has the ribbon also has its own OPTIONS menu. This is where you will find everything you
need to customize your experience from changing to the Canadian dictionary to adding edit marks. To get to
the OPTIONS menu, CLICK the OFFICE BUTTON, and then the OPTIONS button at the bottom of the menu
box. The PowerPoint Options dialog box will open. The item that you are working in will appear orange on the
left-hand navigation bar of the dialog box.
POPULAR
This feature allows you to adjust the basic features of PowerPoint such as having theMINI TOOLBAR
availablefor editing text, or using LIVE PREVIEW.
PROOFING
This feature allows you to select your AUTOCORRECT PREFERENCES, as well as SPELLING AND GRAMMAR
PREFERENCES . Use this to choose such items as the number of spaces that you prefer after a period,
whether you want the editor to check spelling only, or both spelling and grammar.

of the QUICK ACCESS TOOLBAR . Use this
feature to select or deselect buttons for use ineach program.

image to the right). When you have selected all
of the features that you need, SELECT OK .
ADD-INS
Add-ins for PowerPoint are managed by ITS, and should not be adjusted by the user.
TRUST CENTER
This allows the user to adjust the level of security that is being used by Office. It is best to leave this feature
set to its default settings. If you have any questions about the security, or wish to alter your settings, please
contact ITS.

This allows you to access online resources from Microsoft including online help and how-to information as well
as to contact Microsoft.

SAVE AS (OFFICE COMPATIBILITY)
SAVING FILES IN EARLIER FORMATS
Initially Malaspina will have the default save set to the earlier format. This format has the file extension of .ppt,
while the new file extension is .pptx. Once the full rollout of Office 2007 is complete, the default will be set tothe new file format. In order to use a PowerPoint file on a computer with Office 2003 or earlier, it will be
necessary to save the file as the earlier format.
To save in the earlier format, CLICK the OFFICE
BUTTON and then HOVER OVER the SAVE AS
navigation button. This will open a sub-menu with the
most common saving options. To save the presentation
as the earlier version, SELECT POWERPOINT 97-2003
PRESENTATION .
SAVING FILES IN NEW FORMATS
Once the default format is returned to the 2007 .pptx
format, SELECTING SAVE will automatically save a
presentation in the newest format. This can also be
achieved by HOVERING OVER the SAVE AS navigation
button and selecting POWERPOINT PRESENTATION
from the submenu.
While the default is set to the older version, to save in the
newest format, it is necessary to CLICK SAVE AS, and
then SELECT the file format from the DROP-DOWN in the
SAVE AS DIALOG BOX.

SAVING AS PDF
Microsoft Office now provides for the creation of PDF formats.
To do this, CLICK the OFFICE BUTTON, and then HOVER OVER
the SAVE AS navigation button. SELECT the PDF OR XPS option.
SELECT Publish from the SAVE AS DIALOG BOX , and your new
PDF will be created.
Note: If the PDF button is not available, then the add-in needs to
be downloaded from Microsoft and installed.
PUBLISH
PACKAGE FOR CD
This feature is useful when saving a presentation to a CD.
Any sound and or video clips that are used in a PowerPoint
are not embedded in the file. For this reason, saving the
presentation on its own sometimes causes broken links and
reduces the quality of a presentation.
By using the Package for CD option, all of the media files and
the presentation are saved to a folder. This folder can then
be burned to a disk (or saved to a flash drive).
To do this, CLICK the OFFICE BUTTON, and then HOVER OVER the PUBLISH navigation button. From the
submenu that appears, SELECT PACKAGE FOR CD.
A warning will appear
informing you that files will
be updated to be compatible
with earlier versions of
PowerPoint and with the
viewer, and the you will be provided with the Package for
CD dialog box that is the same as was available in earlier
versions of PowerPoint

CREATE HANDOUTS IN WORD
PowerPoint will allow you to print notes pages and handouts,
however these are limited in that they will only contain the text from
the slide and the presenter notes. If you would like to generate a
handout that gives a greater amount of detail, it is best to do this in
Word. This feature allows you to do exactly that, using images of
each slide.
To create handouts in Word, CLICK the OFFICE BUTTON, and then
HOVER OVER PUBLISH. SELECT CREATE HANDOUTS IN
MICROSOFT OFFICE WORD.
From the resulting DIALOG BOX, SELECT the desired
LAYOUT, and then CLICK OK .
