9.84 -> questions or suggestions you have in the
11.55 -> comments below let's get started before
13.92 -> we fully dive in it's important to note
16.17 -> that these instructions will vary
17.58 -> slightly depending on the version of
19.26 -> PowerPoint you're using and whether
21.09 -> you're on the Mac or a PC first things
23.34 -> first
23.789 -> this is what you'll see when you open up
25.89 -> PowerPoint on your computer from here
28.32 -> you have a few options to get started
30.92 -> click blank presentation to create a
33.75 -> presentation from scratch this will
36.149 -> create a completely blank slate so if
38.67 -> you go this route you'll have to put
40.62 -> more time and effort into designing your
42.329 -> slides if you're a beginner and want to
44.969 -> create a polished presentation without
46.71 -> needing to fuss about the design I
48.739 -> recommend selecting one of the templates
50.85 -> available on the screen to get started
52.949 -> once you have a template you're
54.719 -> satisfied with it's time to start adding
56.94 -> your content the first function will
59.309 -> look at is arguably the most important
61.219 -> adding text if you're using a template
64.53 -> you'll have pre-made text boxes already
66.689 -> added to your slides that make inserting
69.03 -> text easy just click within an existing
71.939 -> text box and start typing to add effects
74.97 -> to your text change the color or alter
77.61 -> the size select the text you want to
79.83 -> change and then select an option on the
82.38 -> Home tab font font size bold italic
86.52 -> underline color to create bulleted or
89.909 -> numbered lists select the text box you
92.31 -> want to add to your list and then select
94.35 -> bullets or numbering remember if you'll
98.1 -> be speaking throughout this presentation
99.39 -> you don't need to add everything you
101.64 -> plan to say in your slides
103.14 -> keep your texts to a minimum and focus
105.96 -> on only representing the most important
108.18 -> and impactful points in your slides
109.89 -> another vital thing to keep in mind as
112.259 -> you add your text is legibility as you
114.659 -> change your fonts and colors make sure
116.219 -> the text of your presentation can be
117.81 -> read clearly ask yourself could someone
120.99 -> in the back row of the room read the
122.67 -> text on the slide if the answer is
124.649 -> probably not make your text size larger
127.38 -> or consider choosing a color that
129.42 -> contrasts more with the background color
131.129 -> of your slides if you're using a pre
133.56 -> a template the text sizes and colors
135.81 -> should already be legible now let's take
138.39 -> a look at adding pictures or charts to
140.16 -> your slides to add a picture first
142.98 -> select insert from the menu that appears
145.65 -> select picture browse for the picture
149.04 -> you want and then select insert you can
152.28 -> drag your picture at the edges to change
154.14 -> the size and click and drag the center
156.39 -> of the picture to move it around your
157.92 -> slide to insert a chart or a shape
160.41 -> select insert then select shapes
163.61 -> SmartArt or chart from the menu that
166.38 -> appears now that you have the basics
169.41 -> down for adding content to your slides
171.18 -> let's take a look at how to build out
173.64 -> the flow of your presentation to add a
176.31 -> new slide on the Home tab click the
178.68 -> arrow next to new slide next click the
182.459 -> layout you want to use for your new
183.989 -> slide the layout is different than the
186.51 -> template you selected earlier layout
189.03 -> refers to the way text and headlines are
191.04 -> arranged on the slide and template
193.11 -> refers to the design elements of your
194.88 -> slide like the background color and
196.769 -> fonts once your new slide is inserted
199.56 -> you can simply click inside a
201.54 -> placeholder to begin adding content as
203.579 -> you build your presentation you will
205.89 -> probably need to rearrange or remove
207.989 -> slides at some point luckily it's a
210.75 -> pretty intuitive process to rearrange
213.03 -> the order of slides in the area on the
215.16 -> left where all your slides are displayed
216.56 -> click the thumbnail of the slide that

227.43 -> to delete and then click delete slide
