Usually, people begin creating a presentation by entering in slides (located in the center of the screen). However, using this method means you cannot see how the entire presentation fits together and how concepts flow between slides. It might also be inefficient because you may have added an image to multiple slides when you could have made that change only once on a Master Template. This Workbook is designed to explain the most efficient methods for creating a presentation.

This Step-By-Step Workbook is designed to teach how to create a PowerPoint slide show and present information to an audience. In order to create a PowerPoint presentation from scratch, the Workbook outlines a process to follow in order to create it more efficiently:

1. The first step is to create an Outline and make sure all bullets are in the proper order. You can manipulate the Outline to allow you to move slides and bullets so a presentation will flow in the right order to keep your audience engaged. We are not concerned with the formatting or look of the presentation at this point.
2. Next, we must to make any global changes to the presentation which will affect all slides. Using the Master Template will allow you to place logos, page numbers, current date, footer text, bullets, and custom formatting that will appear on every slide.
3. Now, we are concerned about custom formatting to make sure the text title and bullets fit and look presentable. This can be done on each slide to create slight adjustments and ensure the presentation will appeal to the audience.
4. We will then place objects to fill out the empty spaces such as Charts, Graphics, Icons, 3D Animated Objects, Tables, Smart Art, and Organizational Charts.
5. Next, we will add Transitions between slides so the audience will visually see when you are Transitioning to a new topic.
6. Finally, we will cover Printing and presentation strategies using the Presentation View. When you present from a computer, an audience will see maximized full slides. However, the presenter will have a special layout to review notes related to a current slide, a small overview of the next slide to be presented, and allows for the use of pens/highlighters to guide the audience along.
