Getting Started

Microsoft PowerPoint creates slide shows. The program opens with a new, blank presentation that has one slide.

 

Our lesson will begin by entering and formatting text on a slide. All of the options will be from the Home Ribbon.

 

Try it: Review the Home Ribbon

The options on the Home Ribbon are placed in Groups that more or less make sense. The Groups are:

Clipboard

Slides

Font

Paragraph

Drawing

Editing

 

What Else Do You See? Look in the upper left corner. There are two tabs in the navigation pane: Slides and Outline.

 

Keep going...
