REACHING YOUR AUDIENCE
Think about the presentations you’ve seen. Whether it was an instructor giving a lecture,
an infomercial, or a webinar, presentations were used to try to inform you of a topic. Think
about these presentations and try to determine what made each one effective or not so
effective. Were there certain elements that kept your attention, such as colorful images
or a demonstration video? List at least three presentation elements that kept your atten-
tion, and then list three elements or lack of elements that caused you to feel bored or

VOCABULARY
OO Call to action OO Speaker notes
OO Theme OO Slide Master
Microsoft PowerPoint 2016 includes many features for creating dynamic presentations.
Some of these features, such as AutoCorrect, the spelling checker, Smart Lookup, and
the thesaurus help ensure a professional presentation. Other features, such as design
themes and Slide Master, are used to make your presentation more effective with a con-
sistent look.
PLANNING A PRESENTATION
To successfully get your point across to an audience, it’s important to carefully plan your
presentation. You want to clearly convey your message through brief talking points pre-
sented in an organized way that’s appropriate for the audience. Making sketches of your
slides will help you get started with your presentation.
Most of your presentations will use a standard design that includes a title slide, an intro-
duction slide, slides that expand on each topic, and a summary slide with a call to action.
A call to action is a compelling and persuasive phrase that inspires your audience to take
an action based on your presentation. Call-to-action phrases include urgent language
such as “I invite you to …,” “Reserve now,” or “Donate today.”
MICROSOFT
POWERPOINT 2016
Assignment 2
CREATING AND EDITING A PRESENTATION
A blank presentation contains only one empty slide. To complete your presentation, you’ll
need to add slides, edit the content on each slide, reorganize slides if necessary, and
decide on an overall theme of colors, fonts, and design that enhances your point and
makes your presentation interesting to view.
Most presentation edits are made in Normal view. If necessary, click Normal on the task
bar in the lower-right of the PowerPoint window to display your presentation in this view
(Figure 3).
FIGURE 3—The Normal Slide View Button
THEMES AND THE SLIDE MASTER

You can apply colorful, eye-catching designs to your entire presentation at once with Themes
on the Design tab. A theme is a named set of colors, fonts, and effects. Click a theme and
then explore the Variants group to further customize a selected theme (Figure 4).
FIGURE 4—Options in the Variants Group of the Design Tab
You can click the More button in the Variants group to explore options for changing the
Colors, Fonts, Effects, and Background Styles.
Although a theme can be applied at any time, you’ll have less work if you choose a theme
before creating your slides. If you change the theme after creating slides, you’ll need to
go back and apply the theme to each individual slide.
Selecting a theme ensures a consistent look across all your slides. However, even
themes that seem to be a perfect match for your presentation may need some customizing.
After selecting a theme, click Slide Master on the View tab to edit the Slide Master and
layouts. A Slide Master controls the look of all your slides. For example, changing the
background styles, colors, fonts, or effects for the Slide Master affects every layout. Edits
MICROSOFT
POWERPOINT 2016
Assignment 2
to a layout affect only that slide type. For example, if you add a company logo to the title
slide, it will appear on every title slide in your presentation. If you want to edit objects on
the Slide Master and layouts, use the Drawing Tools Format tab.
SLIDE FOOTERS
You can use a footer to display information on every slide in your presentation. Your
audience may find it helpful to see a slide number and the current date and time. You can
also add your own text, such as the company name or website, to the slide footer. To add
a footer to your slides, click Header & Footer on the Insert tab to display a dialog box
(Figure 5).
FIGURE 5—Header and Footer Menu
Select options to display a date and time that is fixed or updates automatically. Click the
box for Date and time to choose a format. Clicking the box for Slide number will add an
automatically generated slide number. Click the Footer box and type the text you want to
appear in the footer. Click Apply to All to add the footer information to all of your slides.
ADDING AND DELETING SLIDES

The first slide in a new presentation is a title slide with placeholders for a title and subtitle.
To add additional slides to your presentation, click New Slide on the Home tab to display
a gallery of slide layouts (Figure 6).
MICROSOFT
POWERPOINT 2016
Assignment 2
FIGURE 6—The New Slide function
contains default templates for
organizing slide content.
The available layouts will depend on the selected theme. When you click a layout,
the new slide is added after the current slide. To change the layout of an added slide,
right-click the slide thumbnail, click Layout, and then click the desired layout.
If none of the layouts are quite what you’re looking for, you can create your own by
adding a blank slide and then inserting text boxes. To add a text box to a slide, click Text
Box on the Insert tab and then click and drag within the slide to get the size you need.
A selected text box can be sized by dragging a handle or moved by dragging the edge.
If you want to create a slide that’s an exact copy of an existing slide, make the slide you
want to copy the current slide and then click Duplicate Selected Slides from the New
Slide gallery.
To delete any slide, right-click the slide thumbnail and click Delete Slide.
CREATING AND FORMATTING SLIDE CONTENT

A slide contains placeholders for text, images, and other content. To add text to a slide,
you click in a placeholder to place the insertion point, and then you type or edit text. As
you type, PowerPoint automatically sizes the text to fill the placeholder. When this hap-
pens, an AutoFit button appears. You can click this icon for AutoFit options. You may
also click a placeholder to display handles and then drag a handle to size the placeholder
for more or less text.
As you type, PowerPoint also checks spelling. When a word isn’t recognized, a red
squiggly line is displayed beneath it. To correct this, right-click the word in question and
click a suggested spelling, or click the command to ignore a word or add it to the dictio-
nary. In some cases, PowerPoint decides that a combination of letters should really be
a word from its dictionary. When this happens, PowerPoint uses the AutoCorrect feature
to automatically change a word.
MICROSOFT
POWERPOINT 2016
Assignment 2
Tools such as the thesaurus and Smart Lookup can be used to improve your message.
Right-click a word or selected phrase and then click Synonyms to find a word with more
impact, or click Smart Lookup to display information about a topic.
Text can be formatted using commands on the Home tab (Figure 7).
FIGURE 7—Home Tab Formatting Options
Select the text to be formatted and then click a command to change the font, alignment,
or text direction. Your goal for a PowerPoint presentation is that it be easy to read. Keep
in mind that a professional presentation typically has only two or three different typefaces
at most.
Slide content should be brief and to the point so that your audience isn’t straining to
decipher a lot of text and forgets to listen to you. To remind you of the additional infor-
mation that you want say, use speaker notes, which are only visible to you. This leaves
your audience free to review your main points without having to muddle through a lot of
text that may be too small to easily read. To add speaker notes to the current slide, click
Notes below the slide to display a pane where you'll type additional text. To hide the pane
without deleting your information, click Notes again.
CHANGING SLIDE ORDER

After creating your slides, you may decide that they should be presented in a different
order. You can easily change the order of your slides by clicking Slide Sorter on the task
bar in the lower-right of the PowerPoint window (Figure 8). In this view, your slides are
displayed as thumbnails and you can drag a slide to a new position.
FIGURE 8—The Slide Sorter Button
You may also move a slide to a new position in Normal view by dragging a thumbnail of a
slide up or down.

OO Animation OO Linked file
OO Graphic OO Embedded file
OO Media file
Presentations are more engaging when content is explained through colorful graphics
and media files. Your audience will also appreciate the visual cues they get from anima-
tions and slide transitions.
SLIDE TRANSITIONS
The way one slide disappears and the next is displayed is called a slide transition. For
example, you can add a transition that makes one slide fade as the next appears. You
have many effects to choose from on the Transitions tab (Figure 19). This tab also
includes options for adding a sound during a transition and applying the same transition
to every slide.
MICROSOFT
POWERPOINT 2016
Assignment 3
FIGURE 19—The Transitions Tab
When deciding on slide transitions, keep your audience in mind. Consider that some of
the exciting or dynamic content transitions may distract from the content you’re trying to
explain. Sounds also may not be a good choice if they’re too loud or jarring. As a final
consideration, remember that consistency is a good design element. A different transition
for every slide might appear unprofessional.
When a slide has a transition applied, a Play Animations icon appears next to its thumb-
nail. You can click this icon to preview the animation at any time.
ANIMATING OBJECTS
You use animation to give objects a visual effect. For example, you can use an animation
so that when you click your left mouse button, a bullet point of text appears to float onto
the slide. Numerous options on the Animations tab control how text moves onto a slide,
appears after it’s already on the slide, or exits the slide (Figure 20).
FIGURE 20—The Animations Tab
To animate text, select the text and then click an animation on the Animations tab, and
change the Start option to On Click. To set up multiple animations for the same object,
use Add Animation on the Animations tab. Also on this tab are commands to display
the Animation Pane and Timing options.
When you've added an animation to a slide, a numbered box appears to the left of the
text. You click a box to make edits to a specific animation. If you go back later to edit ani-
mations, be sure to click the Animations tab in order to show the numbered boxes. Click
the Play Animations icon next to the slide thumbnail to preview effects.
ADDING GRAPHICS TO A SLIDE

Graphics on a slide can make your presentation more interesting. However, too many
can make a slide appear busy, unorganized, and hard to understand. Use appropriate
graphics purposefully, so that they enhance your message.
Images and SmartArt are types of graphics. The three slide layouts intended for use with
graphics are Title and Content, Content with Caption, and Picture with Caption. These
slide layouts include icons for adding graphics.
MICROSOFT
POWERPOINT 2016
Assignment 3
Click a media icon to display a dialog box for selecting the graphic to add. To insert a
general purpose clip art image from the Internet, click Online Pictures. Clip art from
the Internet is protected by copyright through a Creative Commons license. A link to this
license is available in the displayed dialog box.
You can add graphics to any slide. To add a graphic to a slide that doesn’t display the
media icons, use commands on the Insert tab.
Shapes and WordArt are other types of graphics you can add to your slides. These
graphics are added with commands on the Insert tab.
Graphics on a slide are freely moving objects, which means they can be dragged to any
location on the slide. If you want to size a graphic, click it to display handles and then
drag a handle. You can also apply formats to a graphic using commands on the Picture
Tools Format tab, which is available when a graphic is selected. If you want to remove a
graphic, select it and press the Delete key.
Animating Objects
You can also apply animations to pictures, shapes,
and SmartArt.
USING MEDIA FILES IN A PRESENTATION

Media files include audio and video files. You can add an audio file, also called a sound
file, to any slide in a presentation, but if you want it to play for the entire presentation, you
must add it to the first slide.
Always consider your audience when deciding to add sound to your presentation. Will
everyone appreciate the music? Will the sound grow annoying in a long presenta-
tion? Will the audience be distracted by the sound and lose sight of your presentation
objectives?
With media files, you can choose to link or embed a file. A linked file is outside the

A successful presentation often employs a variety of techniques for getting the message
across to an audience. One technique is to use charts to present data. Charts can sim-
plify your slides by presenting data in a graphical format, requiring your audience to read
less text, while providing them an explanation of the numbers. Another technique is to
use tables. Tables have borders, formatting, and other features that make it easier to
understand data.
MICROSOFT
POWERPOINT 2016

CREATING A CHART
A chart visually represents data. You add a chart to a slide by clicking Insert Chart in
the media icons when available on a slide layout, or by clicking Chart on the Insert
tab to display a dialog box. So that you can find the best representation for your data,
PowerPoint gives you many different chart types to choose from Figure 35.
FIGURE 35—The Insert Chart Screen
When you insert a chart, you’ll see an Excel spreadsheet for entering data. This spread-
sheet isn’t part of the slide and can be closed after entering your chart data. The slide
below contains a pie chart, which displays data as a percentage of a whole. Notice in
Figure 36 how the data for the chart corresponds to the data in the spreadsheet:
MICROSOFT
POWERPOINT 2016
Assignment 4
FIGURE 36—The pie chart screen has many options for customizing your chart includ-
ing adding elements, selecting a style, and adding filters.
A chart is a graphic with many elements. Pie charts include:
OO A chart title, which corresponds to the title of the data series column
OO Slices that are sized relative to the values in the data series
OO A legend based on the category labels in the first column of data
OO A chart area that provides the boundaries of the graphic
OO A Chart Elements button with quick access to elements that can be added or removed
OO A Chart Styles button for selecting a style and color scheme for the chart
OO A Chart Filters button for adding and removing categories, series titles, and cate-
gory titles, and for editing the data source
Other chart types include:
OO Column charts—Useful for comparing differences in values by using vertical bars

sized relative to the values in the data series
OO Barcharts—Useful for comparing differences in values by using horizontal bars

sized relative to the values in the data series
OO Line
charts—Connect data values with a line to show trends and other data
changes over time
OO Area charts—Used to demonstrate the total value across a trend

CUSTOMIZING A CHART
A chart can be customized in many ways. You’ll find options on the Chart Tools Design
and Format tabs. Other options are available by clicking the Chart Elements, Chart
Styles, and Chart Filters buttons next to a selected chart.
If you need to edit the chart data after you’ve closed the spreadsheet, click Edit Data
on the Chart Tools Design tab. You can also change the chart type by clicking Change

A presentation is more than just a slide show file. It generally involves a spoken element
to relay the information on the screen without simply reading from the slides, and it may
also involve a handout. For the best possible outcome, you have to properly prepare
your presentation and then use appropriate presentation techniques to connect with your
audience.
PREPARING YOUR PRESENTATION

To prepare your presentation, you need to determine how your slide show will be pre-
sented, possibly print speaker notes and handouts, and rehearse your presentation.
PRESENTATION CONSIDERATIONS
How you give your presentation determines your slide show setup. The most basic setup
assumes that you’ll give your presentation in the same room as a live audience. For this
set up, click Set Up Slide Show on the Slide Show tab and select the Presented by a
speaker (full screen) option under Show type, the All option under Show slides, and

PREPARING HANDOUTS
Handouts are printouts you provide to attendees for their reference while you pres-
ent. Your audience will appreciate handouts that include lines for their own notes. The
most basic handouts are created by printing your presentation with the 3 Slides option
selected (Figure 58). This option prints three slides per page with lines next to each slide.

FIGURE 58—The 3 Slides handouts
option gives the audience room to
take their own notes.
PRINTING SPEAKER NOTES

You may find it useful to have your own set of printed reference materials for your slide
show presentation. By printing your presentation with the Note Pages option selected,
you have printouts that show a single slide per page with any speaker notes below the
slide. Speaker notes are what you refer to when you expand on the information in a slide.
To make the most of your speaker notes, click Notes Page on the View tab so that you
can more easily create and format your notes with text and graphics. To change the size
of the slide and notes areas on the page, click Notes Master on the View tab.
REHEARSING YOUR PRESENTATION

The key to every good presentation is practice. Your audience will appreciate it and you’ll
be more effective. You want to practice to the point where you need only to glance at your
speaker notes rather than read them, so that you maintain as much eye contact with your
audience as possible.
To practice your presentation, click From Beginning on the Slide Show tab and then
pretend to give your presentation to an audience. You may also click Slide Show at the
bottom of the PowerPoint to start from the current slide.
To make sure you’re keeping to time restrictions, click Rehearse Timings on the Slide
Show tab (Figure 59). Your presentation is displayed in Slide Show view and the time
you spend on each slide will be recorded as you practice. When you reach the last slide
and press Esc to finish the presentation, your total time displays in a dialog box.

DELIVERY TECHNIQUES
During your presentation (and your practice runs), you can use several techniques to
help your audience better understand your slide show content. These techniques can be
implemented with tools in Slide Show view (Figure 60).
FIGURE 60—A Full Screen Slide with Actions
If the toolbar isn’t displayed, simply move your

mouse to make it appear.

Assignment 5
When you want your audience to focus on a portion of a slide, click the Zoom into slide
(the magnifying glass icon) and then click an area to magnify the content. Press Esc to
exit the view.
If your audience seems confused about a previous detail, click See all slides (the icon of
a single square with additional background squares) and then click a slide to jump back
to that point in the presentation. Use See all slides again to return to the point in your
presentation before you sidetracked.
An effective technique for helping your audience follow along with you is to annotate your
slides while you explain the material. An annotation is ink or highlighting on a slide that
emphasizes a point, similar to that shown in Figure 61.
FIGURE 61—A Full Screen Slide with Annotations
Click Pen and laser pointer tools (the icon of a pen) and then click Pen or Highlighter.
Press and hold the left mouse button while you move the mouse to annotate. You can
also switch to a pen by pressing Ctrl+P. Press Ctrl+P again to switch back to the mouse
pointer. If you prefer a different pen color, select one from the Pen and laser pointer
tools menu (Figure 62). You can also set the pen color when you click Set Up Slide
Show on the Slide Show tab.
MICROSOFT
POWERPOINT 2016
Assignment 5
FIGURE 62—The Pen and Laser
Pointer Tools Menu
Another technique to help your audience follow along is to use a laser pointer. To dis-
play a laser pointer, press and hold the Ctrl key while you press and hold the left mouse
button. While doing this you can move your mouse to point to the information you are
discussing.
If you want the laser pointer to display continuously throughout your presentation, click
Laser Pointer from the Pen menu. If you do this, you’ll have to press the N key to
advance slides. You can set the laser color before you start your slide show by clicking
Set Up Slide Show on the Slide Show tab.
DISPLAYING SPEAKER NOTES

In addition to referring to printed speaker notes, you can view your speaker notes
onscreen while in Presenter View. In Presenter View, your audience sees only your slides
on a large screen or monitor while you see your slides along with speaker notes on your
computer (Figure 63).
