Computer Training Centre University College Cork 1

Introduction to PowerPoint 2013 PowerPoint in a powerful presentation processor that creates slides, overheads, hand-outs and

speaker notes. It can help you communicate information with presentations which can be created in

variety of styles – formal, informal, clean and sleek or animated and lively.

PowerPoint 2013 contains a number of features that will allow you to easily create charts and other

graphics to help communicate your information. The Live Preview feature helps us see what effect

our formatting choices will have prior to selection.

This manual will help you to use PowerPoint 2013 to create an effective presentation incorporating

Smart Art Graphics, Charts, Tables, and Animations.

Opening PowerPoint 2013

In Windows 7

Click on the Start Button

In the Start Search field type PowerPoint

Select PowerPoint 2013 from the search results

In Windows 8

Start typing “PowerPoint”

Select PowerPoint 2013 from the search results

MS PowerPoint 2013


The Start Screen

The Start Screen is a new feature of Office 2013. Unlike older versions of Office, opening an Office 2013 application does not take you directly to a blank document – it instead opens the Start Screen.

The Start Screen displays recently opened documents on the left, and a selection of templates in the preview pane on the right. Clicking a template will open a preview pane demonstrating the design of that template.

You can also browse for other presentations on the left. NB: The Start Screen can be disabled under File -> Options. Doing so will cause the application to open a blank presentation by default on start-up, similar to earlier versions of Office.

Recent Presentations

Design Templates

Browse other presentations

MS PowerPoint 2013


To start creating your presentation, choose a template and click ‘create’, or to start without a template, choose ‘Blank Presentation’ on the top left.

PowerPoint Window in Detail

The slide displayed is a default Title Slide. It contains two place holders. It’s within these

Place Holders that you will type your text. Placeholders can also contain pictures, charts and

other non-text objects.

The Preview Pane on the left hand side displays thumbnail images of each

slide.

o It can be set to show only the text content of slides by clicking the

“View” tab and switching from “Normal” to “Outline View”.

Create

Ribbon File Tab

Zoom Views

Preview Pane

Tabs

MS PowerPoint 2013


The area under the main slide is known as the Speaker

Notes Area. Brief notes to remind the speaker of key

points can be recorded here. The Notes Area is hidden by

default – click the ‘Notes’ button to activate it.

A new feature in PowerPoint 2013 is the ‘Comments’ pane. This

pane can be activated by clicking the “comments” button,

located next to the “notes” button. Comments can be added to

slides, and will appear in the comments pane on the right of the

screen. This may be useful when working on files with multiple

authors. A slide containing a comment will have an orange

speech bubble in the top left hand corner.

View Buttons and Zoom options can be found in the lower right hand corner of the

screen.

In the top right hand corner there is the standard set of buttons for minimising, maximising

+and closing an application window. There are also buttons for hiding

or displaying the ribbon and for accessing the Microsoft Help feature.

The Ribbon Bar that runs along the top of the screen is where the majority of our work will

be done.

The File Tab Located on the top left hand corner of the screen the File Tab can be seen as a replacement for the file menu. The options normally found in the file menu such as Open, Close, Save, Save As and Print can all be found there. The figure here shows the layout of the File Tab. You can clearly see the location of Open, Save, Save As and Print.

Document Properties

Back to presentation

MS PowerPoint 2013


The Info Menu The Protect, Inspect and Versions menus contain some nice features such as Mark as Final and Run Compatibility Checker; however there are additional features such as Inspect Document, Encrypt Document, Restrict Access and Add Digital Signature that need to be understood and if used, used with care.

Protect Presentation Clicking Protect Presentation lets you encrypt (which includes setting a password) your

document before sending it to others. We would not recommend doing this as if the password

is forgotten the data cannot be retrieved.

It also allows you to Restrict Access: To enable you to limit the functionality of a document

while still allowing others to view it, and, if they have the necessary permissions, work with it.

This feature is an add-on that needs to be bought; it is not available in UCC.

Before you share an electronic copy of a Microsoft Office document with other people, you

can use the Mark as Final command to make the document read-only and prevent changes to

the document. When a document is marked as final, typing, editing commands, and proofing

marks are disabled or turned off and the document becomes read-only. Additionally, the

Status property of the document is set to Final.

Lastly it allows files to be signed digitally and therefore be verified by a recipient. Again this

feature is a commercial add-on that needs to be purchased. UCC does not have a license for

this.

Note: This is not a security feature, the mark as final can be removed by the recipient of the file and the file will be editable once more. Its use is merely to convey that you believe this to be a completed work.

Inspect Presentation You can check your document for obvious issues that might cause problems in earlier versions of PowerPoint here:

MS PowerPoint 2013


The Ribbon Bar

Tabs

There are 9 tabs in Microsoft PowerPoint 2013. Tabs are used to organise together related groups of commands. The commands work in the same way as before. If you want to make a piece of text appear in bold font, select the piece of text using the mouse and on the home tab, in the font group, click on the bold command button.

The Home Tab is displayed by default. It contains a lot of the commands previously found on

the standard and formatting toolbars.

o The home tab contains the new slide button which can be used to insert a new slide in

to a presentation.

o Notice how all the Font formatting options are grouped together. Once a piece of text is

selected these commands will become active.

o Copy and Paste are located on the Home Tab.

The Insert Tab holds groups of commands relating to inserting illustrations, pictures, tables and

media items.

o All Graphic Objects are together in the Illustrations group.

o Once you add a table, picture, shape, smart art graphic or chart, the second type of Tab,

contextual tab, will automatically appear containing Design, Formatting and possibly

Layout Options for the Object.

If you do not see these extra tabs click on the inserted object to ensure that it is

selected

o In the Text Group, Text Boxes, Word Art Objects, and Header and Footers can be added

to the current slide.

Tab Commands Group

MS PowerPoint 2013


The Design Tab gives access to commands that can be used to change the look and feel of your

presentation.

o The Themes group contains a selection of Designs that can be applied to a presentation

to give it a professional finish.

o The buttons to the right of the designs can be used to customise the design.

The Animation Tab contains the commands relating to transitions and custom animations.

The Transitions Tab contains the commands to allow you to apply transitions to all slides.

o The Apply to All button can be used to easily add the selected Transition to all slides

The Slide Show Tab gives you the options of launching the slide show and or setting up the

slide show

o Your Slide Show can be launched from here

The Review Tab allows you to add comments to the existing slide show. The comments pane

will open up on the right of the window.

o Spell Check is located on the Review Tab in the Proofing group.

The View Tab allows you to change the view of your presentation and also gives you access to

the Master Slide options.

o The ruler guide can be turned on here

o Gridlines to help you position graphics can be turned on here.

MS PowerPoint 2013


Extra Tabs

There is a second type of tab that only appears when needed. Contextual Tools (or tabs) enable you to work with an object that you select on the slide, such as a table, picture, or drawing.

Select on object within the presentation

In the ribbon area the contextual tool appears in an accent colour next to the standard set of

tabs

Contextual tabs provide controls for working with the selected item

Note: Print preview is now located in the File tab:

MS PowerPoint 2013


Dialog Box Launcher At first glance, you may not see a certain command from a previous version of PowerPoint. Some groups have a small diagonal arrow in the lower-right corner. The arrow is called a Dialog Box Launcher. If you click it, you'll see more options related to that group. Those options will often appear in the form of a dialog box that you may recognize from a previous version of PowerPoint.

Quick Access Toolbar The Quick Access toolbar is located on the upper left hand corner next to the Microsoft File Tab. It is a customizable toolbar that contains a set of commands that are independent of the tab that is currently displayed this means that the buttons remain the same no matter what tab is currently open. By default it contains save, undo, re-do and start slideshow buttons.

Adding to the Quick Access Toolbar There may be a command that you use on a regular base that you would like to have access to without having to go through the ribbon interface. To add such a command to the quick access toolbar do the following

Locate the command in its tab

Right Click on the command button

From the menu that displays select “Add to quick access toolbar”

The button will now be added to the toolbar.

Removing a button from the quick access toolbar

Right click on the button in the quick access toolbar

Select “Remove from quick access toolbar” from the menu that displays

Dialogue Box Launcher

MS PowerPoint 2013


Views PowerPoint has alternative Views to help you create, organise and display your presentation.

Normal View is our default view, the one in which we will build the Presentation. It simultaneously displays the outline of the entire presentation on the left hand side along with the current slide in the centre of the screen.

Outline View is similar to normal view, but in place of thumbnail images of the presentation on the left hand side, it will display the text content of the slides.

Slide Sorter View displays thumbnail size previews of all the slides in the Presentation. You can organise the order of the slides here by dragging and dropping the thumbnails.

Notes Page View displays on each page a preview of one slide and an area for text. In this area notes on the presentation can be made. This is an expanded version of the Notes Area which can be activated at the bottom of Normal View.

Slide Show View displays the presentation in full screen mode. Normally when using slide show view the computer displaying the presentation would be connected to a data projector. Slide Show View is used when giving a presentation Master View is outside the scope of this course. However is can be useful for customising or creating templates. We will continue to work in Normal View for now.

Creating a PowerPoint Presentation Open PowerPoint and create a new blank presentation as described on page (_). Before work begins on creating the content of the Presentation, save and locate the file.

Saving a Presentation

Click on the File Tab

In the menu that is displayed select the ‘Save As’

button

The Save As menu will display three options. To save

Presentation Design Having a consistent look and feel in a presentation helps it look more professional.

Click on the Design Tab.

Select a Theme from the Themes Group o Clicking on the arrows to the right of the Themes displays all built in Themes and

gives access to a download option where new themes can be downloaded from

Microsoft’s website.

Each theme has the following associated with it o Background Design o Variants

The Variants group to the right of the

Themes allows you to pick a different

colour palette and fonts to associate

with the chosen Theme.

o Placeholder Positions Once you have chosen a theme, colour and font set, click on the save button to save the changes to your file. The Save button can be accessed at this point from the Quick Access Toolbar to the right of the File Tab.

Slide Size A new feature of PowerPoint 2013 is the ‘Slide Size’ option.

This option allows you to choose the your desired aspect ratio for your presentation – standard (4:3) or widescreen (16:9) - depending on which best suits your needs.

You can also choose custom dimensions for your slides from the Custom Slide Size menu.

Entering Text The Title slide that is displayed contains two placeholders. The Top one is for the Title of the Presentation and the lower one is for the Subtitle. Click to Add Title/Subtitle is displayed in each.

Click on the words in the Top placeholder

Type in the title of the Presentation: for example UCC Induction

Click in to the lower place holder

Type in the subtitle of the Presentation. The font type and size is being controlled by the Design Themes chosen. If you were to select a different theme now the text you typed would change accordingly.

Autofit Text to Placeholder When you enter text into a placeholder, you may find that the placeholder is not large enough to contain all your text. When this happens, PowerPoint will automatically resize your text font in order to fit all the text into the placeholder. This feature is called Autofit. Once PowerPoint uses Autofit, an icon will appear on the left of the placeholder, allowing you to choose Autofit options. By default, Autofit is activated, but in this menu you can choose to stop fitting text to the placeholder.

Inserting a New Slide Our Presentation needs content. This content will be on new slides. Follow the instructions below to add slides.

Click on the Home Tab

Click on the top half of the New Slide button.

A slide will be added to the presentation.

o By default this will be a Title and Content slide.

o Title and Content slides contain two placeholders, one for

a title and one standard placeholder which can be used for text. However there are

also several other content options in the centre of the standard placeholder.

Media There are two types of media you can include in your presentation – audio, and video. Video can be inserted into a placeholder with the Insert Video quick access button. Audio clips must be inserted via the Insert tab on the ribbon.

Inserting an Audio Clip In the Insert tab, click ‘Audio’ on the far right of the ribbon.

From the drop-down menu, choose from one of three options: o Online Music: This will search the Office.com website

for royalty-free audio files which you can use freely in your presentation without concern for copyright infringement.

o Audio on my PC: This will pop out a window in which you can navigate to a file on your PC.

o Record Audio: If you have recording hardware and software set up on your computer, you may be able to record audio with this feature.

Inserting a Video Clip In the Insert tab, click “Video” on the far right of the ribbon.

From the drop-down menu, choose one of two options: o Video from my PC: This will pop out a window in which you can navigate to a video

file on your PC. o Online video: This will pop out a window with two options.

Search for a royalty-free video clip with Bing search Embed a video from a website, e.g. Youtube. This can be done by copying

the video URL from the address bar of your browser, and pasting it into this box.

NB: It is important to note that embedding a video file in the presentation actually inserts that video’s full size into the presentation. As videos can be quite large, this will significantly increase the size of your PowerPoint file, which will impact on your ability to upload the presentation to a website or to email it.

Supported File Types

PowerPoint 2013 supports most commonly used file types, e.g: Audio: .MP3, .WAV, .WMA Video: .MP4, .AVI, .WMV NB: A good general rule of thumb is if the file will play on Windows Media Player, it should be compatible with PowerPoint 2013.

MS PowerPoint 2013


Slide Layouts The default slide layout allows for any one of the above objects to be inserted into a slide. Considering that there may be times we need to display both Text and Picture, or two SmartArt Graphics, we will need choices when it comes to layouts. There are two things we’ll need to be able to do:

1. Change the layout of an existing slide 2. Insert and new slide with a specific layout

Changing the Layout of an Existing Slide Display the relevant slide, or select it in the slides view

Display the Home Tab

Click on the layout button in the slides group

Select the required layout

Inserting a new slide with a different layout Select the slide after which the new slide is to be located

Display the Home Tab

Click on the bottom half of the New Slide button

A menu will display similar to the one shown from which you can select the required Layout.

Inserting a Header and Footer Display the Insert Tab

To apply to all Slides click the Apply to All Button

Animating a Presentation Animations can be broken in to two types: The first is the Transition. This is the way in which the slide will appear on screen when you move from one slide to another. The second part is Animation, which refers to the animation of individual elements on the slide, e.g. an image, a block of text, a bullet point etc.

Transitions Display the Animations Tab all the Transitions can be found in the Transition of this Slide group.

Display the slide requiring the transition

Display the Animations Tab

Clicking on the small arrow to the right of the displayed transitions will display all transitions

Select the preferred Transition

Edit the Transition Settings as required

Tick to display date on slide

MS PowerPoint 2013


o The speed of the slides entrance for example can be changed

Use the “Apply To All” button to apply the chosen transition to the whole presentation.

Animations Animations deal with how the content of the slide will appear. Without animations all the content on a slide will display at once. If this is the way you’d like your content to appear you will have no use for animations. However if you’d rather each bullet point and title appear separately read on.

Display the slide in Normal View

Click on the item of content to be animated.

On the Animations tab click on the arrow to the right of the Animate button

A menu with different animation options will appear o This menu will vary depending on the selected content o For bulleted lists By 1st level Paragraphs will display each bullet point on a list

separately. Every time the mouse is clicked the next bullet will be displayed. These steps will need to be repeated for every object on the slide and then for every slide in the presentation. It is possible to use the Ctrl key to select multiple items and apply the same animation to them, however this may not have the desired effect.

Effects Option – On Charts, Graphs or Smart Art Objects

Select the Chart or Smart Art Graphic to be animated.

In the Custom Animation Pane apply the required effect.

In the Custom Animation Pane click on the arrow to the right of the added effect.

Select Effect Options.

Preview the Slide Click on the Play button to preview how your slide will look in slide show mode.

Showing Your Presentation Before you show your presentation live you should view it first in Slide Show mode on your PC or Laptop to ensure that it appears as you envisaged.

1. Click on the Slide Show Tab

2. To view your show from the first slide click the From Beginning button

3. Your Title Slide should display in Full Screen Mode

4. Click the mouse once, to move from slide to slide

5. When you reach the end of your presentation hit the Esc (escape) Key to return to

PowerPoint. (The Esc key is located on the top left corner of the keyboard)

MS PowerPoint 2013


What’s new in Slide Show View When the mouse is moved about in Slideshow view a set of buttons becomes visible in the lower left hand side of the screen. These buttons can be used to reveal some useful slide show commands, and several new features have been added to PowerPoint 2013.

These arrow keys can be used to move forward or backward through a presentation.

The pen button gives you access to a number of options allow you to draw freehand notations on a slide. These notations could be used to highlight a specific point. There is also an Eraser option on the menu that displays. This can be used to remove any annotations made during the presentation. The laser pointer is new to PowerPoint 2013. It is an alternative mouse cursor designed to emulate the look of a laser pointer.

The thumbnail button brings up thumbnails of all the slides of the presentation in a view similar to the Slide Sorter view. It may be useful for ease of access to previous slides in a large presentation, rather than having to scroll back through slides or having to exit out of slideshow mode entirely.

The magnifying glass allows you to zoom in on an area of the current slide.

The extra options menu contains a few extra features. Worth noting in here is the ‘screen’ option – this allows you to temporarily display a blank, black or white screen at any point during your presentation.

MS PowerPoint 2013


Printing in PowerPoint In PowerPoint you can print in four different ways depending on your needs

1. Slides 2. Handouts 3. Notes Pages 4. Outline View

From the File Tab select Print

Edit the settings to suit your requirements. o The “Print All Slides” option can be changed to one slide or custom slides. o “Full Page Slides” can be changed to include multiple slides on one page or one slide

plus its notes. This is very useful for creating handouts to accompany your presentation.

“Full Page Slide” will print just one slide without any notes. "Notes Pages” will print one slide per page, with any notes on those slides

included underneath them. “Outline” will print just the text outline of each slide, without any images or

graphics. The various “handouts” options allow you to include multiple slides per

page. 6 slides per page should generally be a suitable size visually and for efficient use of paper space.

o Chose single or double sided printing, and how many staples are required.

When satisfied with your settings, click Print.
