Presentation Themes

• Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 provides several standard, prebuilt themes. Find a standard theme that has a look that you like, and then modify it by changing the colors, the fonts, or the line and fill effects. You can then save it as your very own custom theme.

• Additional themes can be found at http://office.microsoft.com

Selecting a Theme

• To access these themesclick on the Design Tab on the Ribbon and select atheme

The Window

Slides/Outline Tabs:Allows you to view all of the slides in your presentation.

Notes Pane: Section for speaker notes that correspond to the slide. Allows for minimal number of words on the slide, or simple graphics, which you can elaborate on all the while with the security of having the notes in front of you. Your audience will only see the slides, not your notes.

Slide Pane: Displays the current slide which you are editing

Entering Text

• Text can be edited in the Outline Tab or in the Slide Pane by simply moving your cursor to the item you wish to edit and typing your additions.

• To change slides in the Slide/Outline Pane, click on the new slide/section you wish to move to.

Speaker Notes

• Speaker notes are a special area in which the speaker can make comments about the presentation. They are not visible in the presentation and are viewed and printed only by the speaker.

• Speaker notes can be created in the Notes Pane in Normal View or in Notes Page View.• Entering notes in the Notes Page View allows for one slide

to be visible at a time, and it allows for a much larger visible area.

Notes Page View

Use the up/down arrow or the page up/page down keys on the keyboard as well as the scroll bar and scroll wheel on the mouse to navigate through slides.
