How to create a presentation on a computer

The main purpose of the computer presentation is the support of the speech of the speaker. Properly performed, it attracts attention to the speaker, helps to make his speech brighter, convincing. On the slides there are basic theses, photos, graphs, tables, video. To create a presentation, the PowerPoint (PP) program is included in the Microsoft Office package, which is installed on most computers.

A simple presentation will be a presentation or complex with various special effects - it all depends on the desire of the author. The main thing is to fulfill it so that she liked the listeners. Prepare the desired material for slides. Text is desirable to write on your own, relying on your own experience. This will make a presentation unique. Photos and pictures from a personal archive or on the Internet should be excellent quality, respond to the topic of the report. Draw graphs in MS Excel or manually.

No matter how beautiful the presentation, it will not replace the speaker and should not distract from his speech. Focus on the listeners, make a plan, calculate time. Run the RR program. Next, use one of the possible options: Create an empty slide or select ready-made presentation template. Ready templates on the Internet Many, they will decorate your work, choose the appropriate report theme. Many prefer to start with an empty slide and make it up to their taste.

Add slides-page in the process: "Home - Create Slide." They can be deleted ("delete"), rearrange, dragging the mouse. The first slide is the title, the title and subtitle on it. For the following pages, use the desired layout (markup) using the "Layout" menu. This will allow you to place text in two columns, add a picture, diagram.

While the slides are white, they look not very interesting. Make them brighter. To do this, the menu has a section "Design - Topics". Click the selected topic, the appearance of the slide will change. You can apply the selected topic to the entire presentation or only to separate selected slides. In the left tab of the "Slides", mark them, click on the right-click of the right mouse button, select the "Apply to the Selected Slides" command.

Using the "Color" button in the top menu, select the color scheme, if not satisfied with the standard one. Experiment from the "Effects" menu, "Background Styles", convert the finished topic to your liking. I did not like ready-made topics - create your own. In the "Background Styles" section, open the "Format of the Background". Insert the background pattern from the file on the disk. Use no more than 3-4 colors when the slide is cleaned. The color of the background and font must be contrasting, not merge.

The RR program contains many different tools for working with fonts: size, color, strokes - similar to MS Word. In the Font group, select the desired parameters. When choosing, follow the rule: the text that carries the main semantic load is isolated by a large size - 22-28, color, drawing, special effects. For subtitles that emphasize the main idea, the font is revealed - 20-24. The main text, signatures to diagrams, drawings - 18-22.

Making the slides, stick one style: the size and color of the headers are the same, in the color scheme of texts up to 3-4 colors. The number of rows is not more than 6, approximately 6-7 words in the string for better visual perception. If you doubt the combination of colors of the background and text, stop on a black font and a white background. The text should be well read even at a distance.

Presentation will impress the audience if you put pictures, collages, photos, diagrams on slides. Enter the "Insert" menu, select an object for insertion: a drawing from a disk or a picture from the library, a diagram, shape. Avoid flowing for text around the picture. An even more winning view has a presentation with musical accompaniment. In the "Insert" menu in the list, select "Sound from File".

In the "Animation" menu, many tempting special effects. You can apply them to all dedicated slide objects. But you should not abuse them and distract the listeners. View prepared presentation by clicking the "Slideshow" icon or in the top menu item with the same name. In the "Start Show" group there are various demonstration methods.

The listed items do not describe all the capabilities of the RR program, they are inexhaustible. These are just the first steps. The main thing is remember - the presentation is not an end in itself, but a means of assistance to speaking.
