Chapter 6 Produce Attention-Getting Presentations with Office PowerPoint 2007 What you’ll find in this chapter: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ A tour of the Office PowerPoint 2007 Window New design choices and tools Improvements for your text Expanded graphics capabilities Creating slide libraries Save presentations as PDF files Improvements for team presentations Getting—and keeping—your audience interested is more than half the battle when you are presenting your ideas to a group, whether you are pitching a new product, training employees, presenting to stakeholders, or giving potential customers an overview of your company’s services. Microsoft® Office PowerPoint® 2007 includes a number of great new features—in a new easy-to-navigate user interface—to help you produce, share, save, and even reuse professional-quality slides you create. A Tour of the Office PowerPoint 2007 Window Office PowerPoint 2007 shares the new features of the 2007 Microsoft® Office system look and feel—from the user interface to command sets to contextual command tabs, the Office PowerPoint 2007 window offers the tools you need as they relate to the task you’re trying to accomplish. As you see in Figure 6-1, the command tabs in the user interface correspond to the usual sequence of steps in the presentation-creation process: ■ ■ The Home tab contains commands you are likely to use when you are creating and working with slides; for example, you’ll find commands for adding and deleting slides, choosing slide layouts, making font and paragraph selections, adding WordArt, and searching for text on a particular slide. The Insert tab enables you to add a number of items to your slides—tables, pictures, diagrams, charts, Office shapes, links, text objects, and media clips. 77
78 Part II: Preparing and Producing Professional Results ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ The Design tab is all about the look of your presentation. Use the commands in this tab to set the page orientation, choose a presentation theme, design the slide background, and arrange objects on the slide. The Animations tab gives you what you need to choose animations and add sound, transitions, and timing selections. The Slide Show tab contains the commands for setting up, rehearsing, and displaying a slide show. This tab also includes the commands for recording narration, setting up dual monitors, and changing display resolution. The Review tab offers the spelling checker and thesaurus, and provides translation and research tools; additionally you’ll find commands for adding, reviewing, and working with comments in the document. The View tab provides a number of different options for the way in which you view your presentation. Choose among the traditional PowerPoint views, add gridlines and the ruler, make color and grayscale changes, and work with presentation windows. Figure 6-1 The Office PowerPoint 2007 window Tip The Zoom slider in the bottom-right corner of the window is a helpful tool when you want to zoom in or out on a specific item in your presentation. In Normal view, use the Fit Slide To Current Window tool, to the right of the Zoom slider, to maximize the current slide within the size of the display window.
