Microsoft PowerPoint Tutorials Each of the PowerPoint tutorials is designed as a single Module.  In this tutorial, you'll learn how to create a PowerPoint presentation.  You'll also learn how to edit slides, include text and graphics, insert sounds and colors, and view the PowerPoint slide show. But first, you have an idea how to use the Microsoft Word so that you may not encounter difficulties in terms of using the font sizes of you’re letters to use.

In a word processing program(MS WORD),documents that contain several 

pages are developed. In PowerPoint, you create presentations using slides

that contain information. This information may be displayed as bulleted 

lists,

Tables,charts,or graphical images. In addition,you may provide visual 

effects

(such as shading and color),animation effects and sound effects.

        With PowerPoint,one can quickly create,update,and sort” slide-based",

professional-looking presentation material such as the ff.

        * Black and White overhead transparencies

        * Color overhead transparencies

        * 35mm slides

        * Computer screen and video slide shows complete with special effects

        * Presentation files that you can send with you're co-workers for 

their review

        * Printed meeting handouts

        * Detailed speaker's notes

        * Printed and onscreen presentation outlines

Therefore,you need to be familiar firsts with the ff. terms 

 used in PowerPoint Presentations:

        # Slides- are individual pages in the presentation

        # Speaker's Notes- These are information usually printed on paper and 

can

            be either the exact text of the speech,reminder notes,backup 

information

            or a combination of these.

        # Handouts- are paper of copies of all or some of the slides to be 

givento the

            audience.They can be one per page or reduced so that three or six 

slides fit on a

            sheet of paper.

        # Presentation file- where all the PowerPoint slides for a particular 

presentation are kept. 

        # Masters- it holds information that will appear on multiple slides in 

the presentation. For

            Instance, if you want to put your name, company logo, or some other 

Decoration on each

            Slide, add it to the master.

        # Color Scheme- the specification of the slide's background 

Colors, heading colors, and so on.
