Presentation Components

The presentation consists of slides, the number of which is practically unlimited. They are sequentially collected into one file with the extension “.ppt”, which opens on any computer where Microsoft Power Point is installed.

Slides can be shown from electronic media or printed on paper.

You can place everything you need for a demonstration on the slides:

• text information;
• photographs, pictures, drawings, etc.;
• tables, graphs, diagrams;
• videos, films, clips;
• audio files;
• other graphic objects.

Power Point slides can be customized and modified:

• size;
• marking (location of objects on it);
• template (design and design);
• visual and sound transition effects.

The initial editor window in the program looks like this:

The Menu bar contains all the important program commands, and the toolbar contains basic and frequently used options. This panel can be edited by adding or removing certain elements. By clicking on the “Create Slide” button, an empty template will appear on the screen, on which you will have to work.

The left panel displays all the slides that make up the presentation. They can be in the form of miniature copies of themselves, or they can be displayed in structured text, displaying headings or content of the slide. You can also move and rearrange the slides in this panel. The task pane (located on the right) will display actions that you can use during the creation process. At the bottom of the screen there is a Notes area where you can enter all the comments on the slide being created, which are visible only while working on the presentation.

All areas on the work screen can be enlarged or reduced by placing the cursor on their end line.

How to make your presentation step by step

There are several ways to create a presentation for an interactive whiteboard:

1. develop a completely new presentation;
2. from a standard or previously made template;
3. from a ready-made file;
4. from auto content wizard.

If we take a closer look, in the new demo you need to do all the markup, design styles, fonts, etc. yourself. Rework finished presentation will not ultimately yield a unique product. Selecting a template is similar to the previous method and allows you to use ready-made graphic and design developments from the creators of the program. If you use the Auto Content wizard, the program will ask you questions and, based on the answers, create the desired presentation template.
