Activity title: Exploring the MS PowerPoint Environment

Activity type: Concept Notes, Exercise
Learning Targets: To identify the basic parts of MS PowerPoint
Reference: Computers for Digital Learners 3, pp. 150-155, 158-160

Concept Notes:
A Microsoft PowerPoint file is called a PowerPoint Presentation, or simply, a presentation. A
PowerPoint Presentation is like a “storybook” of any topic or idea that we would like to share with
anyone. Microsoft PowerPoint helps us in creating a story out of that topic or idea that we want to
present.
The easiest Way to open Microsoft PowerPoint is to look for the PowerPoint Icon and
double-click on it. We can also open Microsoft PowerPoint and create a new presentation by doing
these steps:
1. Go to the Start button.
2. Click All apps.
3. Look for Microsoft Office 2013.
4. Choose Microsoft PowerPoint.
5. Choose Blank Presentation.

The MS PowerPoint Environment:

1. Quick Access toolbar contains shortcuts that are grouped together. These shortcuts are
common commands that we will always use in our presentations, such as Save, Undo, and Redo
commands.
2. Ribbon contains different commands that we need to create presentations. These commands
are grouped into tabs.
3. Slide pane is where we work on the selected slide. Each part of our presentation is called a
slide.
4. Slide Navigation pane helps us to select which slide we would want to work on. We can also see
how many slides we have in our presentation. We will also know in which position the slide that we
selected is on.
5. Zoom controls let us adjust the zoom of our slide by clicking and dragging the slider. We can
also click the fit slide to current window to go back to the original size of your slide.
6. Scroll bars let us see the part of our slide we want to view.
7. Slide View options let us see our slides after working on them. We can choose any option from
the Slide View options.
