Text
If your audience has to read big paragraphs of text they will be unable to
concentrate on what you are saying. It is therefore preferable to limit thenumber of words on a slide. The best way to do this is by using bullet points
to identify key themes. It is advisable to use a font size of at least 24pt and
have a colour contrast between the text and the background to ensure the
words can be read from a distance.
AutoFit
PowerPoint will prompt you when it determines that you are putting too
much information on one slide. For instance, if you type more text than can
fit in a text box an AutoFit Option symbol will appear in the bottom left-hand
corner of the text box.
If you click on the AutoFit Option symbol you will get a number of options.
To override this feature you can choose Stop Fitting Text to This Placeholder.
Add shapes
Add shapes to your slides for diagrams or to emphasise text
1. Go to Insert > Shapes2. Select a shape3. On your slide click and drag until the shape is the desired size

Click on the shape and just start typing
Drawing tools
When a shape or text box is selected the Drawing Tools bar is visible. You can

range of objects including graphical lists, process diagrams, hierarchy charts(organisation charts) and cycle diagrams.
1. Go to Insert > SmartArt2. Choose a diagram type3. Click OK

You can easily convert a bulleted list to SmartArt.
1. Select the text, text box or shape2. Go to Home > Convert to SmartArt3. Choose the required SmartArt graphicAnimation
Animation can be helpful, if used well, and it is a good way to reveal
information on a slide one step at a time. However, inappropriate animation
can distract attention away from the information being presented. As a
general rule, only use animation if you have a good reason to do so.
1. Select the text or object to be animated2. Go to the Animations tab
3. Select an animation. To see more animation options click the arrow inthe bottom right corner
4. Animations can be modified from Animations >Effect Options5. You can change how the animation is triggered and how long it lasts
from the Timing group
6. To see the chosen animation select Animations > Preview7. If you are animating a set of items (objects, paragraphs, lists) you can
apply the animation to each item in turn or as one group

Present to an audience
Producing the slides is the easy part, its the standing up in front of an
audience thats difficult. For advice about presentation skills workshops:
http://www2.le.ac.uk/offices/ld/resources/presentation
Slide show view
To begin presenting your slides you will need to be in Slide Show view. Use
the keyboard shortcut to start the slide show. Other keyboard shortcuts
are available. When in slide show view press to see this list.
Transitions
Transitions are similar to animations but are applied to the whole slide. They
change how the slide appears on the screen. The transition is triggered when
the slide is presented. Like animation, transitions can be a distraction for the
audience, so use them wisely. To add transitions go to the Transitions tab.

Images
If you use an image on your slides one of the key things to remember is your
image will be enlarged when it is projected onto a screen. It is therefore
important that you use a good quality image with the highest resolutionpractically possible (300 ppi or greater). Avoid copying images from the
internet as these are usually low resolution (72 ppi). You should also check if
there are any copyright issues that might restrict the use of the image.
Find suitable images
For University of Leicester images go tohttp://assetbank.le.ac.uk. Another
good resource is the websitewww.flickr.com. Here you can search thousands
of images and check for any copyright restrictions.
1. Find an example file fromwww.flickr.com2. Search for an appropriate image3. From the drop down list under Search select The Commons. These
images will have no copyright issues, and you are free to use them.
4. Click Search

1. On the slide on which you wish to have a picture, go to Insert > Picture
2. Find the saved picture on your computer, select it then click Insert.Resize Images and Objects
When resizing an image be careful not to distort the proportions
The example above of the University of Leicester logo is an obvious one but
sometimes it is less obvious. Therefore you need to be careful to ensure that
when you resize an image you dont introduce distortion unintentionally. You
can ensure this by clicking on the image and resizing it from its corners rather
than from the sides, top or bottom. Alternatively
1. Right click the object or image then choose Size and Position...2. Select Size from the menu on the left of the Format Picture window3. Change the height, for example to 75%.4. Ensure Lock aspect ratio is ticked. This will mean the width will also
change to match the height automatically, preventing the image from
becoming distorted.
5. Click CloseRotate Images
There are a number of ways to rotate images and objects in PowerPoint. You
can simply click the image or object and then hover over the rotate handle at
the top and rotate free-hand.

Alternatively, if you need to be more precise you can manually set the
rotation angle.
1. Right click the image or object and choose Size and Position
2. Choose Size from the menu on the left of the Format Picture window.3. Change the number in the Rotation box

4. Click CloseA third way is to select the object or image and then go to Picture Tools >
Rotate. This has the advantage of having a number of pre-set options.
Picture Tools
When an image is selected the Picture Tools bar is visible. There are a rangeof very useful features. Take the time to become familiar with all the features
on this tab.
Position and alignment
You may need to position or align the objects on your slide such as images,
shapes, text boxes.
Order of objects on slides
Sometimes you will want objects to overlap other objects. In PowerPoint the
order of these layers is determined by the order the objects are inserted
onto the slide, so the most recently created object will always be on top.
However, you may want to change the order of the layering. You can do this
by sending objects forwards and backwards in the layering using the Order
feature.
For example, when a rectangle is placed over an arrow, the arrow is hidden
behind the rectangle. You may, however, want the arrow to appear on top of
the rectangle.
1. Right-click on the rectangle

Align and distribute objects
Aligning and distributing objects so that they are arranged in a row, at an
equal distance apart can be difficult to do. You can save yourself a lot of timeand be much more accurate using the Align feature. Select several objects
(e.g. shapes, text boxes, images) by clicking on the objects while holding
down .
For example, you may want all of these arrows to be lined up in a row
(aligned) and at an equal distance from each other (distributed).
1. With all the objects select Home > Arrange > Align > DistributeHorizontally.
2. Ensure that all the objects are still selected and go to Home > Arrange >Align > Align Top or Align Middle or Align Bottom
All the arrows will be lined up in a row at an equal distance apart from one
another.

The Slide Master
The Slide Master stores information about the positions and sizes of
placeholders on different slide layouts - where titles, text, page numbers,headers, footers and other objects will be placed - as well as font sizes and
styles on all slides.
You should use the Slide Master when you want to make global changes to
all the slides in a presentation. If you are going to make changes to the Slide
Master, it is advisable to do this before you start working on the presentation
itself.
Change the Slide Master
Changes that you make to the topmost slide in Slide Master View will be
reflected in all the slides in your presentation. Changes to slides below will
only apply to slides that use that slide layout.
1. To view the Slide Master go to View > Slide Master
The Slide Master tab will be now be visible. This tab has options for editing
the Slide Master. You edit the Slide Master as you would for any other slide.
Close the Slide Master when you have finished working on it
