Let's jump into the tools
you have available to create
0:02
an excellent presentation.
0:05
First, your presentation
is going to need slides.
0:08
So let's chat a bit about how
you can organize your slides.
0:11
You can add a slide matching
the type you're currently viewing
0:16
by clicking the plus button here.
0:20
Or you can choose the drop-down
to pick a different slide type.
0:23
You can delete a slide by
right-clicking on it's image and
0:30
choosing Delete, or by pressing
the Delete key on your keyboard.
0:35
Sometimes you may have
slides with similar layouts.
0:41
This is a great time to
use the duplicate ability.
0:44
Select the slide you want to duplicate,
right click on it, and
0:48
select Duplicate slide.
0:53
To reorganize the order of your slides,
you can drag slides to change their order.
0:57
Nice work.
1:07
Now let's jump into the specific tools you
have available to add design elements or
1:09
content to each slide.
1:14
Text is a big part of a presentation.
1:16
You can click into the text boxes
on slides that have them built in.
1:20
Or use the text box tool to
create a text box of your own.
1:28
Shapes are a great way to help
get ideas across visually.
1:39
There are a multitude of shapes to choose
from, so take a minute to explore and
1:44
see what shapes call to you.
1:48
Pro tip, hold down the Shift key when
1:52
creating a new shape to
help keep its proportions.
1:56
The next tool you have
available is the line tool.
2:04
This doesn't just create straight lines,
but
2:08
can also create lines with
arrows to connect information.
2:11
Combining shapes and
lines gives you the ability
2:16
to create diagrams in your presentations,
too.
2:20
Under Insert, you can also add tables,
charts, diagrams, and word art.
2:25
Lastly, let's talk about media.
2:33
You can add audio, video, and
images to your slides, too.
2:36
Make sure to check your media before you
present for blurriness and sound quality.
2:43
There's nothing worse than finding
a great visual that no one can see or
2:50
understand when you present.
2:56
Check by uploading to a slide,
2:58
Resizing the media to be the height and
width that you want.
3:05
And then viewing it in presentation mode
to see if the audience will be able to
3:13
view it easily.
3:18
With the knowledge of the tools available
to you under your belt, think about which
3:20
will help show off your information and be
a pleasant experience for your audience.
3:25
Next, we'll jump into how you can
collaborate and share your presentation.
3:30
See you there.
