How to Make a Powerpoint Presentation

In today’s article that is how to use PowerPoint, we will walk you through the complete step-by-step guide.

The guide will be telling you the way to create a presentation. Also, the way to use PowerPoint presentation templates.

Simply read and follow all the steps carefully and learn how to do a PowerPoint using the PowerPoint presentation program. The steps are given below.

Step 1: First and foremost, all you have to do is, launch the Microsoft PowerPoint programs. To open the Microsoft PowerPoint, go to the start menu and then MS office. In the MS office suite, select MS Powerpoint.

To be more specific, Start> All programs> MS Office, MS PowerPoint.

As sooner you click on the MS PowerPoint program, you will see a screen, I have mentioned below.

Sometimes, when you open the PowerPoint presentation programs, you may be prompt to select what kind of document you want to create. Choose to create a blank presentation.

If it does not ask you this, a blank presentation will be automatically launched.

In my case, the blank presentation was automatically launched.

Step 2: After going to the PowerPoint presentation, as I said above a blank slide would be launched. Now, all you have to do is click on the Click to add title option. And add the title of your own presentation. In this title bar, you will have to add the title.

Similarly, in the second half of the slide, you can add the subtitle of the presentation. However it is optional, if you don’t have any subtitles, you may leave as it is.

Step 3: After you are done entering the title and subtitle to the slide, it’s time to create a new slide. To insert a new slide, click on the New slide option, from the menu bar.

Step 4: As sooner you click on the new slide option, a blank slide would be created. You can find that just below the previous slide. In the new slide, edit the title of that particular slide. And in the second half of the slide, add matter or the points you want to cover.

Step 5: That’s all, now insert as many slides you want and fill up them with the points you want to cover in your presentation. This is how you can create slides. But wait, this is not the end here.

After adding the simple fonts and slides, there are multiple ways, you can decorate your slides and make your presentation look attractive.

I will show you how can you do that.

# Add design to your slides

After you have created a simple presentation it’s time to add some design to the slides. To do so, go to the Design tab from the menu bar.

As sooner you click on the Design tab, you will be provided with various designs.

Simply click any of them to apply that to your slides. If you want more designs, click on the drop-down arrow for more designs.

You will find this drop-down arrow just beside the last design appearing there.

If you didn’t get me, check out the image I have mentioned below. I have marked the arrow with the red rectangle.

After you click on the arrow, you will see the screen, as I have mentioned below.

Now simply click any of the designs you want to see on your slides.

# Add images to your slides

Adding images to the PowerPoint slides is just a clicks procedure. All you will have to do is click on the Insert option from the menu bar.

After you click on the Insert tab, you will be provided with various options, including pictures and clip art.

Now simply select the slide you want to edit the picture to, and click on the picture option.

As sooner you click on the picture option, and insert picture dialogue box will pop up. Select the picture and add them to your slide.

# Add animations to your slides

Ok, after selecting the design, add some effects to the slides. This would give your presentation a more official and attractive look.

To add the animations to the slides, click on the Animation tab from the menu bar.

You will find the animation tab just beside the design option.

Just like the design option, initially, you would be provided with a limited animations effect.

But if you want more, then you will have to click on the drop-down arrow. After clicking on the drop-down arrow, you will see the screen as I have mentioned below.

What you will have to do is, select the slide and then select the animation.

If you want different animations to the different slides, then you will have to select all the animations manually.

But, if you want a single animation effect to all the slides, then you will have to click on the Apply to All option.

Now once you are done with all the above steps, you can play the presentation to check how it looks like.

To do so, press the f5 key from the keyboard or go to the Slide Show tab and select From Begining.
