1. Presentation Insert & Design

2. Insert+Design

3. Insert The   Insert Tab  is used to  insert  different features such as tables, pictures, clip art, shapes, charts, page numbers, word art, or headers, and footers into a presentation. The table below describes each of the groups and buttons available on this  tab . Group/Button.

4. Tables If you click on the Tables button, this menu will appear:.

5. You can select the number of columns and rows by dragging the mouse over the grid. Notice that while you drag the mouse, the table dynamically draws itself in the slide, giving you a preview of what the table will look like when you decide on a size:

6. When you decide on a size, the table stays in the slide. When you click on the table, you will see that it has borders, like a frame:

7. You can resize the table by clicking and dragging on an area marked by three or four dots. In areas of the frame that are clear, clicking and dragging will move the table around. You will also notice that new options are available on the Ribbon: These ribbons will allow you to easily control the layout and design of the table.

8. In the Table Tools: Design ribbon, you can: turn on/off rows and columns as special label/totals areas; choose a design for the table from a set of templates; set the shading, borders, and special effects for the cells; set the Word Art style (if you wish to use Word Art in the table); and draw special borders.

9. Illustrations This section of the Insert tab on the Ribbon lets you add special graphics . Picture : add a photograph to your slide; choose any image file on your computer. Clip Art : choose from artwork already made and available. Photo Album : this creates instant photo slideshows. Just add images and they will be applied to slides. Shapes : add any of more than 100 pre-made shapes. SmartArt : a new feature which allows quick construction of charts and nice-looking graphics with text. Chart : create a chart from an Excel table.

10. The  Picture  feature will just give you a dialog box asking you to find the image. Note that the Picture tools ribbon becomes visible here: This ribbon allows you to affect images in many ways: change the appearance of an image; choose a picture frame; choose a shape, border, or special effect for the image; arrange or group the image relative to other images; crop the image

11. The  Clip Art  button will open a sidebar on the right allowing you to search for clip art.

12. The  Photo Album  will ask you to add photos (and text boxes, if you wish), and will make a collection of slides from the photos you choose . You can add  Shapes  (note the  Drawing Tools: Format  menu becomes available).

13. SmartArt  is a system which allows you to quickly crate visual charts. Click on this, and you get a dialog box:

14. Text This area allows you to add text in many forms. Text Box : create a box with text that can be resized and placed anywhere on the slide. Header and Footer : add information (slide numbers, date/time, titles, etc.) to the top and bottom of any or all slides. Word Art : create styled, 3-D art using text. Date & Time : adds date and or time stamps to the Header or Footer. Slide Number : adds slide numbers to the Header or Footer. Symbol : need to add a symbol that you can't type using the keyboard? Look for it here. (only works where you can type text, as in a text box.) Object : add special objects to the slide. Most of the time, you will not use Headers and Footers, and probably you will not use Objects. Symbols are for special circumstances .

15. Media Clips Two buttons allow you to add movies and sounds to your presentation:

16. Design This contains the basic  slide formatting  tools. Design  templates contain color schemes, slide and title  masters  with custom formatting, and styled fonts designed for a particular "look." When you apply a  design  template to your presentation, the slide master and color scheme of the new template replace the slide master and color scheme of the original presentation.

17. Page Setup If you click on the Tables button, this menu will appear:.

18. If you click on "Page Setup," you will see this: This allows you to change basic page elements including slide sizes, orientation, and slide numbering . The second button simply allows you to change the slide orientation quickly--from horizontal to vertical ("landscape" to "portrait").

19. Themes Here you can choose the overall appearance for your entire slide show. Themes are an easy way to design a whole slide show. Every slide in the presentation will change to match the background, font, colors, and effects chosen for each theme. The good point about themes is that they are easy and quick and make your presentation look nice.

20. Background Here, you can make quick changes to the background . Clicking on "Background styles" lets you choose quickly from the styles. If you click on "Format Background," you can choose far more detail about the slide background.
