Introduction
PowerPoint is a presentation program that allows you to create dynamic slide presentations. These presentations
can include animation, narration, images, videos, and much more. In this lesson, you will learn your way around the
PowerPoint environment, including the Ribbon, Quick Access Toolbar, and Backstage view.
Watch the video on the link given (https://youtu.be/k6pg4nZS6fA) to learn more about getting started with
PowerPoint.
Getting to know PowerPoint

PowerPoint 2016 is similar to PowerPoint 2013 and PowerPoint 2010. If you've previously used these versions,
PowerPoint 2016 should feel familiar. But if you are new to PowerPoint or have more experience with older versions, you
should first take some time to become familiar with the PowerPoint 2016 interface.
The PowerPoint Interface
When you open PowerPoint for the first time, the Start Screen will appear. From here, you'll be able to create
a new presentation, choose a template, and access your recently edited presentations. From the Start Screen, locate and
select Blank Presentation to access the PowerPoint interface.
Working with the PowerPoint environment.

The Ribbon and Quick Access Toolbar are where you will find the commands to perform common tasks in
PowerPoint. Backstage view gives you various options for saving, opening a file, printing, and sharing your document.
The Ribbon
PowerPoint uses a tabbed Ribbon system instead of traditional menus. The Ribbon contains multiple tabs, each
with several groups of commands. For example, the Font group on the Home tab contains commands for formatting text
in your document.
Some groups also have a small arrow in the bottom-right corner that you can click for even more options.
Showing and hiding the Ribbon
The Ribbon is designed to respond to your current task, but you can choose to minimize it if you find that it takes
up too much screen space. Click the Ribbon Display Options arrow in the upper-right corner of the Ribbon to display the
drop-down menu.
 Auto-hide Ribbon: Auto-hide displays your workbook in full-screen mode and completely
hides the Ribbon. To show the Ribbon, click the Expand Ribbon command at the top of
screen.
 Show Tabs: This option hides all command groups when they're not in use, but tabs will remain
visible. To show the Ribbon, simply click a tab.
 Show Tabs and Commands: This option maximizes the Ribbon. All of the tabs and commands
will be visible. This option is selected by default when you open PowerPoint for the first time.
Using the “Tell Me” feature.

If you're having trouble finding command you want, the Tell Me feature can help. It works just like a regular
search bar: Type what you're looking for, and a list of options will appear. You can then use the command directly from
the menu without having to find it on the Ribbon.
The Quick Access Toolbar

Located just above the Ribbon, the Quick Access Toolbar lets you access common commands no matter which
tab is selected. By default, it includes the Save, Undo, Redo, and Start From Beginning commands. You can add other
commands depending on your preference.
To add commands to the Quick Access Toolbar:

Click the drop-down arrow to the right of the Quick Access Toolbar.
1. Select the command you want to add from the drop-down menu. To choose from more
commands, select More Commands.
2. The command will be added to the Quick Access Toolbar.
The ruler, guides, and gridlines

PowerPoint includes several tools to help organize and arrange content on your slides, including
the Ruler, guides, and gridlines. These tools make it easier to align objects on your slides. Simply click the check
boxes in the Show group on the View tab to show and hide these tools.
Zoom and other view options

PowerPoint has a variety of viewing options that change how your presentation is displayed. You can choose to
view your presentation in Normal view, Slide Sorter view, Reading view, or Slide Show view. You can also zoom in and
out to make your presentation easier to read.
Switching slide views

Switching between different slide views is easy. Just locate and select the desired slide view command in the
bottom-right corner of the PowerPoint window.
Zooming in and out

To zoom in or out, click and drag the zoom control slider in the bottom-right corner of the PowerPoint window.
You can also select the + or - commands to zoom in or out by smaller increments. The number next to the slider displays
the current zoom percentage, also called the zoom level.
Backstage view gives you various options for saving, opening, printing, and sharing your presentations. To
access Backstage view, click the File tab on the Ribbon.
Challenge!
1. Open PowerPoint and create a blank presentation.
2. Change the Ribbon Display Options to Show Tabs.
3. Click the drop-down arrow next to the Quick Access Toolbar and add New, Quick Print, and Spelling.
4. In the Tell me bar, type Shape and press Enter.
5. Choose a shape from the menu and double-click somewhere on your slide.
6. Show the Ruler if it is not already visible.
7. Zoom the presentation to 120%.
8. When you are finished, your presentation should look something like this:
9. Change the Ribbon Display Options back to Show Tabs and Commands.
10. Screenshot your work and have it printed for submission.
