PowerPoint Adding slides

okay next we're going to talk about how to uh start a presentation so a presentation is going to be made up of individual slides like here's a slide here's a slide and so on so uh now I'm going to close this particular presentation of course I'm I'm going to pick on office and then close now I made changes to that so I'm going to save that of course and uh now we're going to start a new presentation so at this point I'll just pick on uh the new icon or if you don't have that you'll click on office and then new and then we're going to make a blank presentation okay so each presentation starts off like this where it gives you the first slide now notice what it says here it says click to add title so you are just going to click there and then type in what you want and then uh notice how it says click to add subtitle and you're going to click there and type in something there as well so you can see that building that first slide is not going to be too uh difficult now of course your presentation is going to include more than one slide so uh at this point you're going to pick on insert uh you're going to pick on the home menu and then right over here it says new slide I'm just going to click on that now uh now you see over here you have the the thumbnails you have slide one and slide two uh now um it says click to add title so first we're going to go over the Powerpoint Basics and then uh I'm going to come over here uh now on this slide we can either add text or if you follow my mouse I can add a table well we can add a chart we can add what we call Smart art uh we can add a picture we can add a clip art and we can add a media clip which is a movie or a sound now later on there'll be videos about each one of those different sections right now we're just going to add text to this slide uh so in the PowerPoint Basics we're going to talk about adding slides which is what we're doing right now we're going to talk about the the PowerPoint views very important we're going to talk about adding text to a slide uh the slide background I'm just typing these in and then those how it's giving us a bullet list automatically and then we're also going to talk about the slide design and these are among the topics that I would consider PowerPoint Basics but you can see it was really easy to add a slide all I did was I I I picked on a home menu I picked on uh U you know a new slide over here and then we have a new slide now if you notice I put that on my quick access toolbar because that's something that we're going to do all the time uh to add that to my quick access toolbar if it's not already there I would right click on that now you can see it's already up there so it's not letting me add that to the quick access toolbar but that's how you would add it to the quick access toolbar let's add a another new slide I'm just going to pick on new slide again and then uh here I want to type in uh beyond the basics beyond the basics so I'm just typing that in of course now beyond the basics we'll talk about uh adding uh Graphics to the slide going to talk about adding sound adding video animation uh slide transition okay so um talk about narration uh uh rehearsing the timing of the present ation so we're going to talk about all those topics there'll be other slides about those as we continue on but you can see uh all I'm really doing is adding new slides here so uh of course I'm just picking on the new slide icon now you can change the format of these slides um if if you notice look where I'm going right over here I can change the layout so the first slide that we made was a title slide that usually would be the first slide or maybe that's going to be uh uh highlighting a new chapter or a new section of your presentation a lot of times we'll use something like this the title and the content that's the one that we're on right now maybe you have different sections of your presentation so you want a section header sometimes a slide might have two contents like uh you know two videos or two pictures so these layouts just kind of give you an idea of what the slide is going to look like but you can always add additional features to any of these different layouts but these kind of you know uh give you an idea of what the slide would look like so we can use any one of those uh now when you're making a new slide watch I'm going to um pick on new slide we could just do it that way or you can click on the pull down when you click on the pull down then it's going to add a new slide with you know that uh office theme right away uh with that design so you know if I pick on this one it made a new slide and it's also it automatically has the two to two content if I change my mind then I can go back here and change that this is changing the the the layout of the current slide let me go back to this one over here all right so hopefully you got an idea about how to add a slide into your presentation
