Moving slides around

 

The Slide Sorter View is the easiest place to rearrange the order of your slides.

 

Let’s say you have four slides in your presentation, and you decide that Slide 2 should really appear after Slide 3. Here’s what you do to move the slides around:

 

1. Click Slide 2 and hold down the mouse button. A small gray rectangle appears on the pointer as well as an orange vertical line to the right of Slide 2.

1. Drag the pointer to the slide’s new position after Slide 3. The vertical line has now moved to after Slide 3. The line indicates where the slide will be moved to.

 

2. Release the mouse button. Slide 2 is now positioned where Slide 3 was. Slide 2 also is numbered Slide 3 now; its number does not remain as number 2.

Hiding slides

In PowerPoint 2010, perhaps there is a slide in the presentation that may be incomplete or a slide that may not be suited for a specific audience. Is there a way to hide a slide in PowerPoint, rather than the alternative of deleting? Yes there is. There are 2 ways to hide a slide in PowerPoint 2010.

Method 1

Step 1. In the pane located at the left, Right click the slide you would like to hide

Step 2. Go to the hide slide option

Method 2

First in the task pane to the left, choose the slide you want to hide.

Step 1. Go to the slide show tab

Step 2. Choose hide slide

In both versions when the steps are completed the slide will become grayed out and the number at the left of the slide will be crossed out symbolizing that this slide is hidden. If you would like to undo the hide slide, repeat the steps and the slide will be unhidden.

 

Navigating slides

When you want to do a slide show in a one-on-one or small group setting without a projector, beginning the show is just a click away.

 

1. Click the Slide Show button located (along with the other View buttons) in the lower-right corner of the screen. If you have set up a full-screen slide show, PowerPoint fills the entire screen with the first slide of the slide show.

Click the mouse, or press Enter, the down arrow, Page Down, or the spacebar.

PowerPoint advances to the next slide.

3. Alternatively, open the Slide Show tab on the Ribbon. The Ribbon works just as easily as the Slide Show button.

.  Click From Beginning or From Current Slide. This lets you choose where to begin the slide show.

If you’ve configured PowerPoint to display the slide show on a secondary monitor, the slide show runs on the secondary monitor. The primary monitor still displays the presentation in Normal View. You can switch to Notes View on the primary monitor to display your notes while the slides are displayed on the secondary monitor.

 

 

Conducting a presentation

Presentations are something that we are all familiar with. Whether you are watching a presentation or giving a presentation, chances are you know what sucks and what doesn’t. However, in case you don’t know the suck from the not, here are ten tips to help insure you are giving a good presentation:

1. Don’t abuse your visuals: Usually your visuals are posters, charts, or even aPowerPoint presentation. Whatever your visuals may be, keep them simple and don’t put too many words on them. The audience isn’t there to read your slides, they are there to listen to you present.
2. Look at the audience: If you ever wondered where you should be looking when presenting, the answer is right in front of you. Don’t just single out one person, but instead try to make eye contact with numerous people throughout the room. If you don’t do this then you aren’t engaging the audience, you are just talking to yourself. This can result in an utter lack of attention from your audience.
3. Show your personality: It doesn’t matter if you are presenting to a corporate crowd or to senior citizens, you need to show some character when presenting.
4. Make them laugh: Although you want to educate your audience, you need to make them laugh as well.
5. Talk to your audience, not at them: People hate it when they get talked at, so don’t do it. You need to interact with your audience and create a conversation. An easy way to do this is to ask them questions as well as letting them ask you questions.
6. Be honest: A lot of people present to the audience what they want to hear, instead of what they need to hear. Make sure you tell the truth even if they don’t want to hear it because they will respect you for that and it will make you more human.
7. Don’t over prepare: If you rehearse your presentation too much it will sound like it (in a bad way). Granted, you need to be prepared enough to know what you are going to talk about but make sure your presentation flows naturally instead of sounding memorized. Usually if you ask experienced speakers what you shouldn’t do, they’ll tell you not to rehearse your presentation too much because then it won’t sound natural.
8. Show some movement: You probably know that you need to show some movement when speaking, but naturally you may forget to do so. Make sure you show some gestures or pace around a bit (not too much) on the stage when speaking. Remember, no one likes watching a stiff. People are more engaged with an animated speaker.
9. Watch what you say: You usually don’t notice when you say “uhm”, “ah”, or any other useless word frequently, but the audience does. It gets quite irritating; so much that some members of the audience will probably count how many times you say these useless words.
10. Differentiate yourself: If you don’t do something unique compared to all the other presenters the audience has heard, they won’t remember you. You are branding yourself when you speak, so make sure you do something unique and memorable.
