PowerPoint 2016

You can create one overall presentation, then use subsets of that presentation, to create a Custom Show. Basically, it’s multiple presentations, in one presentation.

If you’re not connected to a projector or TV screen when you give the presentation, then you will go into Slide Show view. This video shows you some handy keyboard shortcuts that you can use.

If your laptop is connected to a Projector or a TV screen, then you, the Presenter, will actually go into Presenter view, not Slide Show view. This video shows you what that looks like and explains the features available.

When giving the same presentation over and over, you will often find you want to leave some slides out of a given presentation. This video shows you how to hide, and unhide, slides.

Sometimes, when I use an Action Button I like to make it invisible so that the audience doesn’t know that it is there. This video shows you how to do that.

Using an Action Button to link to another Presentation, gives you the ability to select the specific slide that you would like to land on, rather than defaulting to landing on the first slide.

You can create links in your presentation to a document that you want viewers to see. We’re linking to a PDF file, but the same steps are used to link to any document.

This video shows how you can use Sections – and even move slides, using them. It’s a great feature.

You can actually have multiple Slide Masters, each with it’s own look and feel, behind a single presentation, in PowerPoint. This video shows you how.

If you find you always have specific slides in every presentation, containing specific text or images, then why not have those slides pre-created and saved as a Template. That way, when you open the Template, you don’t have to create those slides.

If you’ve been wondering how to go about creating your own Slide Layout, that will be available in the New Slide button, then wonder no more!

If you’d like to save the Theme that your Company uses, to your computer, so that you can apply it to new, or existing presentations, then this video shows you how.

So far, when we move to a new slide, the Audio automatically stops playing. If you would prefer that it kept on playing throughout the Presentation, then this video will show you how.

If you want to apply the same Animations to multiple objects, then you can use the Animation Painter to do so.

There are extra effects available specifically for charts – but be aware you can only access them with some, but not all, of the Entrance Effects.

Bullets have extra effects attached to them. Learn what those effects are.

Sometimes we need to change the order that our Animations take place in. This video shows you how.

If you want to have an Entrance effect, an Emphasis effect AND an Exit effect, then this video shows you how.

The type of Animation you have used, determines how you remove it. See how it’s done.

Motion Path effects deal with the way an object moves around the screen. Never seen a penguin fly? Keep watching!

Exit effects deal with the way that an object leaves the screen. Let’s take a look at some of those effects.

Emphasis effects take place on objects that are already on the screen. Let’s take a look at some of those effects.

Entrance effects deal with the way that an object appears onto the screen. Let’s take a look at some of those effects.

We are going to set up our Audio so that it starts playing automatically, when we go into Slide Show view. That means we don’t need to see it, so we’ll also hide it.

If you only want to use a piece of an audio track, then you have the capability to trim it down. This video shows you how.

This video brings you through the steps required, to insert an Audio track into a Presentation.

This video shows you the steps to insert a video from YouTube. But just because you can, it doesn’t mean you should! This video will also explain why it’s not always a good idea.

Rather than starting with a black screen on the video, we can set an image to be the Poster Frame, the starting image. This video shows you how to do just that.

Rather than having the video sitting very obviously on the slide – we’re going to set it up, so that the video takes up the full screen, when we go into Slide Show view.

When you go into Slide Show view, you might prefer the video to start playing automatically. This video shows you how.

When a video is trimmed, you’ll find that the sound cuts in very sharply. Fading in and out the sound, will take care of that problem.

If a video is too long, it can be trimmed down here, directly in PowerPoint. This video brings you through those steps.

This video shows you how we can treat one Slide Layout differently from the others, by working on the specific Master, belonging to that slide.

If you want to add your company logo to all the slides in your presentation, then you should do so, on the Slide Master.

In this video we’re going into the Slide Master to change the bullet style and colour, and also the colour of the text. This change will then be reflected on all slides that have a bullet section.

Learn how to make changes to an individual Slide Layout using the Master that is specific to that layout.

We’re going to make a change to the overarching Master and see that change flow through to all the Slide Layouts, on the front end of PowerPoint.

Find out how to access the Slide Master – which is a group of slides that act as the template behind PowerPoint.

Themes help control the look and feel of a PowerPoint presentation. In this video we’re going to view some of the Themes that are provided by Microsoft.

If you want to apply the same Animations to multiple objects, then you can use the Animation Painter to do so.

There are extra effects available specifically for charts – but be aware you can only access them with some, but not all, of the Entrance Effects.

Bullets have extra effects attached to them. Learn what those effects are.
