Microsoft
PowerPoint comes with different views to help you
while you are creating a presentation. The two main
views you use in PowerPoint are normal view and slide
sorter view. To easily switch between views, you click
the buttons at the lower left of the PowerPoint window.
The Slide view allows you to view each slide individually.
In this view, you can type, draw, add images, and
edit text and objects.
Table
1.1 Types of Views
The
Outline view allows you to display formatted
text, plain text, titles only, or complete texts.
This view provides a quick way to create and organize
the contents of your presentation.
The
Slide Sorter view can be used to define transitions,
to mask slides, and to create compiled slides. Since
this view displays all the slides in miniature, accompanied
by text and graphics, it provides you with an overall
view of your presentation. This allows you to reorganize
your slides, to add transitions and to adjust the
timing of your slide show, and to determine if your
presentation has continuity.
The
Notes Pages view allows you to attach comments
to one or many slides to guide you through your presentation.
The
Slide Show view creates a full-screen electronic
display of your presentation. In other words, slides
are displayed on the screen one after another. Now,
you can view the effects of your work in Slide
Sorter view, namely slide transition and timing.
Let’s
return to your presentation. Switch from the Outline
view to the Slide Show view to see the results
of your first slide. It should look like this:
(Figure 1.2)
Click
on this icon
to return to Outline view. Your presentation currently
contains the slide you have just created and the slides
included with the template. The purpose of this exercise
was to introduce you to creating presentations with
the AutoContent Wizard. We do not want to save this
presentation, so click on the CLOSE button.
PowerPoint will display the following dialogue box
to ask if you want to save your document:
(Figure 1.3)
Click
on NO to close the document without saving it.
