To change the color of the slide, right-click on the slide and choose Background. To change the color click the arrow on the fill window and open your choices.

If you choose More Colors, you will get the honeycomb of colors to choose solid colors as a background.

If you choose Fill Effects, you will get the dialog box at the right with the many choice of color blends as well as templates and photos.



Objects that are inserted onto slides are free-floating graphical objects. No object is anchored to a place on the slide. Each object occupies a space and also a plane. The slide is three-dimensional in that objects can be placed in-front-of and behind each other.

To change the order in which objects are layered, right-click on the object you wish to move. Scroll down to Order. Four choices will appear: Bring to Front, Send to Back, Bring Forward, Send Backward.

When you insert an object onto a slide it will have resize markers around it and a green ball on top. The green ball is the free rotation tool. Click and hold the left mouse button and rotate the object 360º. If the object contains a yellow diamond this is a tool used to tilt the object or change its appearance by altering the line placements.



If you wish to transfer slides from another PowerPoint file, choose Slides from Files. Choose Browse in the window and go to the location of the file. When you open the file the slides will appear in the preview window. Choose the slides you wish to transfer.

Digital video can be inserted as long as the file name extension is .mpeg, .avi, .mov, or .qt


When you insert a video file, go to the directory in which you have saved the file and make sure it is the correct file name extension. This is a directory of videos.

Once you insert the video, a message will appear asking if you want the video to play automatically when the slide appears.


To animate an object, right-click on an object and choose Custom Animation. With an object highlighted, choose Add Effect, pick your type of Animation, and then choose an Animation. If you choose More Effects, you will see dozens of choices.


To set up the show, you can be in either the Normal or Slide Sorter View. In the Normal view, go to the Slide Show Menu and choose Slide Transition. In the Slide Sorter View there is a Transition button.


Place the cursor on the slide you want to affect. Choose a Transition style. You can also change the speed at which it occurs. If you want to control the show by clicking a mouse to advance the show, leave the checkmark on “On mouse

click” If you want the show to advance on a timed basis, check “Automatically after” It will open a time window and you can determine how long before the next slide appears.


To rip a track from an audio CD:

Place the CD in the drive and wait for it to be recognized by the computer.

When the dialog box comes up, choose play audio CD using Windows Media Player. This will bring up the CD and allow you to listen to and choose the track you wish to rip.

When you have chosen the track, stop the audio and choose Rip from the tabs at the top of the box.

Remove all the checkmarks in front of the individual tracks and then check off the track or tracks you wish to rip.

Click Rip Music from the upper right side of the box. If it asks you to make a choice of your preferences, choose to keep your preferences as they are. Your track will be ripped and saved into your ‘My Music” folder.


To insert music, Insert_Movies & Sounds_Sound from file.

Go to the folder that contains the sound.

Double-Click the file and the box will appear asking if you want the sound to start automatically.


To activate the music, pull down the Slide Show Menu and click Custom Animation. The sound will be listed in the animation pane. If there is more than one animation, it will be listed last. Move it to the first spot. Open the sound file by clicking the black arrow next to the name.


Choose Effect Options to change the sound

To have the music play during the entire presentation, change Stop Playing from “On click” to “After” and set the number for the number of slides in the presentation.


To create interactive PowerPoint presentations, you can use Action Buttons to link slides together or you can use any graphic and make it a hyperlink.

•Choose Action Buttons

•Choose the button you wish to use and when you move back to the slide, the drawing crosshairs will be the cursor icon.

•Draw the button. When you let go of the left mouse button, the Action Settings dialog box will appear.

•Make sure the bullet is active on “hyperlink to” and open the window below it that indicates which slide it is going to hyperlink to.

•Scroll through your choices until you see “slide…” Choose it and a list of you slides will appear with a thumbnail view of each.

•Choose the appropriate slide and click OK on this box and Ok on the Action settings box.

•This button will now be active when you start the Slide Show.

To disable the rest of the slide, go to Slide Show_Slide Transition. Under Advance Slide, remove the check mark in front of “On mouse click” and, if there is one, in front of “Automatically” Click Apply to All Slides and now the only click that will work are the buttons on the slides.
