5 Tips and 5 rules to download as pdf
How to
Make things appear and disappear
Select the item – right click the item – choose Benutzerdefinierte Animation
Now a new window appears in the right part of your screen.
To make the item appear: click Effekt hinzufügen – Eingang – Erscheinen
To make the item disappear: click Effekt hinzufügen – Beenden – Verschwinden
The actions appear in the window in the order in which you added them.
If you have more than one action, you can change the order by drag-and-drop, and you can decide which actions happen together with the same mouse click. For this you click on the arrow next to the action and you choose Mit vorherigem beginnen
Connect to the web
Simply type a link (with or without the http:// part). Sometimes it is necessary to make Powerpoint to recognize it is a link (I think: right-click, make link).
Insert a picture
Einfügen – Grafik – Aus Datei , then you can browse your commuter and find the picture you want to add.
You can cut of part of a picture by using the Zuschneiden button
Use the formula editor
Einfügen – Object – Formeleditor
Note: this only works if you have the formula editor installed. It should be on the original Office CD that you used to install PowerPoint and Word.
Insert a movie
You can insert a movie from a movie file on a local disk, a shared network location, or an Internet site.
1.On the Insert menu, point to Movies and Sounds, and then click Movie from File.
2.Select the movie file in the Insert Movie dialog box, and then click the OK button.
If you selected a movie clip in animated .gif format, the animation will run automatically the entire time the slide is displayed in a slide show. If, however, you selected a movie in another format (such as .avi), PowerPoint will display a message box letting you choose when the movie will play.
To have the movie play automatically when the slide is displayed in a slide show, click the Automatically button.
To have the movie play only after you click the movie image, click the When Clicked button. PowerPoint will then add the clip(?) to your slide.
Master slide
To change the basic fonts, fontsizes and colours of your presentation, choose Ansicht – Master - Folienmaster. If you put a picture here, it will show up on all your slides.
Headers & Footers
The Masterfolien shows you the default location of any date, slide number, or textual footer that you choose to use. You can move them around, change their colour and size etc.
To insert text into the footer
1.Choose Ansicht – Kopf und Fußzeile.
2. Make sure that Footer is check marked, then type the text in the Footer text box.
To insert a date
1. Choose Ansicht – Kopf und Fußzeile.
2.Make sure that the Date and time option is checked.
3.Choose either Update automatically or Fixed.
- Update automatically updates the date and time on your presentation slides each time you open the presentation.
- Fixed allows you to type a specific date into the box that will be displayed on your slide.
To insert a slide number
1.Choose Ansicht – Kopf und Fußzeile.
2.Click the checkbox for Slide Number.
NOTE: Click the checkbox if you prefer that the footer not be displayed on your title slide. You can not selectively choose to include or omit individual footer items from the title slide.
Reihenfolge
If you right-click on any item, you can move it further back or to the front.
Group
If you select a few items and right-click on them, you can group the items. This is useful, because now you can move them together, resize them together and copy-paste them together.
During your presentation
Use “b” for a black screen
Use “w” for a white screen
Use “4 enter” to jump to slide 4
Hidden slides
Select a slide, right-click, choose Folie ausblenden
Now, you can get the slide back during your presentation using “h”, but only when you are at the last slide before the hidden one. Useful if you have extra data in case someone asks.
