First of all, a brief understanding of PowerPoint.
1.PowerPoint startup and interface synthesis
As long as Microsoft Office is installed on your computer, you can always find Power Point in the program and start it. After starting, there are three windows from left to right: the leftmost is the slide outline window, which indicates that there are several slides in the PPT document you made. Just click "New Slide" under the "Insert" menu to add more slides; In the middle is the specific content window of each slide, which can contain media symbols such as words, pictures and sounds; The rightmost window is used to prompt your operation and wait for your instructions at any time.
2. The three most important menus
One is the Insert menu, which is used to add various slide objects. For example, the most common text, use the "text box" command; If you want to add beautiful pictures, use the "Picture" command; There is also a "movie and sound" command, which is of course used to add background music!
Second, in the format menu, pay attention to the "background" command, which is used to add the background of the slide. You can use any picture you want as the background, and you can do anything you want to ensure your satisfaction. You can also directly use the "application design template" and make use of the background that has been prepared for you.
The third is the "Slide Show" menu, and F5 is the most convenient for slide show. It is the most interesting function to set the animation effect of various objects with "custom animation" or "preset animation". Compared with the traditional slide, this is its advantage. In traditional slides, objects can't be moved, but there are all kinds of animation effects here, which dazzle you. If you don't want every slide to look so monotonous, then choose your favorite "slide switching" method, and the effect is ideal!
Second, make beautiful works.
An excellent and exquisite PPT work cannot be completed overnight. It needs a person's patience and personalized aesthetics. Every PPT author will make works with the same theme in different ways. How to attract the attention of the audience needs to be carefully crafted.
Let's learn an example and make a simple PPT document for the purpose of introducing "Lotus".
Step 1: Collect materials. Use Baidu's "knowing" and "pictures" functions to find out the relevant knowledge and pictures of lotus, establish a folder named "Lotus", and put all these materials in for later use. For example, the biological characteristics, flower language, poetry, allusions, medicinal value, singing lotus songs and so on. , are just unexpected, there is nothing you can't find. Try to find the text information related to the lotus flower and copy it into the notepad for preservation. It is very convenient to copy at any time when necessary. Then choose different varieties of lotus and use Baidu "pictures" to find some beautiful lotus pictures. After opening the picture, right-click the picture, select "Save Picture as" and save it in your own folder for your own use. This step is crucial. If there is not enough unique material, it can only be "a clever woman can't cook without rice." No matter how effective you are and how beautiful your design is, you can't attract others and introduce products.
Step 2: Design the layout. After starting PowerPoint, a new PPT document will be created by default. There are two boxes in the middle window, which say "Click here to add a title (subtitle)". This box is called a placeholder and can be deleted at any time. I suggest you delete it and give you a piece of white manuscript paper. You should carefully consider where to put the text information, where to put the picture, where to put the sound (generally no sound icon is required) and so on. The key is that all objects appear in a certain order and finally achieve harmony and unity. The layout is beautiful and not fancy, and it is most important to grasp the key points.
Step 3: Add an object. Click the Background command under the Format menu. Let's design a beautiful background for the slide first. Be careful not to usurp the role of master. Then we can make full use of the collected materials, click the "Insert" menu and add the needed pictures, words, tables, sounds, movies, etc. According to the predetermined layout. In fact, the layout is not static, you can modify it at any time according to the actual situation, as long as it can show your personality, fully explain the problem and mobilize the audience's various senses.
Step 4: Set special effects. If you just arrange the objects in order, it is no different from the traditional slides, so now you should set different effects such as entry and emphasis for each object, that is, animation or action. Click the object that needs to be animated, and then select preset animation or custom animation from the Slide Show menu. There are many animation effects. If you look carefully and choose them according to your preference, you will find what you like. If the start time and process time of each animation are properly set, the final effect will be as amazing as Flash.
Now, an exquisite slide is basically completed. Do you want to see its effect? Ok, how about pressing F5 or clicking "Watch the Show" in "Slide Show"? If you think something is wrong, adjust it there. Don't worry, take your time. "Good soup is stewed."
