- The PowerPoint Environment- 20133:48The picture shown is the initial screen that is displayed when you create a new blank presentation in PowerPoint 2013. The view shown is called “Normal” view and is one of the many presentation views that are available in PowerPoint. It is the view in which you will perform most of your time constructing your presentation. A presentation is the default type of file in PowerPoint. Within the presentation file you create and modify individual slides. The slides within a presentation contain multiple text and graphic objects which create the contents displayed in the individual presentation slides. When you close a presentation, PowerPoint will prompt you to save unsaved changes in the presentation before closing. Learn this and more during this lecture.
- The PowerPoint Environment- 20104:22A presentation is the default object in PowerPoint. Within the presentation you create and modify individual slides that will constitute the presentation. The slides within a presentation contain multiple text and graphic objects which create the contents displayed in the individual presentation slides. When you close a presentation, PowerPoint will prompt you to save unsaved changes in any open presentations that you were working on before closing. Learn this and more during this lecture.
- The PowerPoint Environment- 20074:22The first thing that you should notice is that the PowerPoint screen consists of two windows: the application window, and the presentation window. A presentation is the default object in PowerPoint. The presentation window opens up inside the application window. The presentation window is where you create and modify the slides in your presentations. You may close the presentation window without closing the PowerPoint application. This allows you to open and close different presentations without having to restart the program. Learn this and more during this lecture.
- The Title Bar2:01The Title Bar is the bar that runs across the top of the application window. The name of the presentation that you are working on will be displayed in the center of this bar. At the right end of the Title Bar is a button group. There are five buttons in this group in PowerPoint 2013 and three in PowerPoint 2010 and 2007. They are, from left to right, “Microsoft PowerPoint Help,” “Ribbon Display Options,” “Minimize,” “Maximize/Restore Down,” and “Close.” In PowerPoint 2010 and 2007, only the last three buttons mentioned are displayed. Other than the “Microsoft PowerPoint Help” button, these buttons affect the display of the application window. Learn this and more during this lecture.
- The Ribbon2:12The main tool available for you to use in PowerPoint is the Ribbon. This object allows you to perform all of the commands available in the program. The Ribbon is divided into tabs. Within these tabs are different groups of commands. The commands in each group can be accessed either through the use of buttons, boxes, or menus that are available within the group. Learn this and more during this lecture.
- The “File” Tab and Backstage View- 2013:20101:15Starting in PowerPoint 2010, the “File” tab within the Ribbon replaces the functionality of the older “Microsoft Office” button that appeared in PowerPoint 2007. You can click the “File” tab in the Ribbon to open a view of the presentation called the “Backstage View.” In this view, you can perform all of your file management. This includes performing functions such as saving your file, opening an existing file, or creating a new file. Learn this and more during this lecture.
- The Microsoft Office Button- 2007 Only1:55The Microsoft Office button gives you access to your basic file management commands in PowerPoint 2007.

- The Quick Access Toolbar3:01The Quick Access toolbar is located above the Ribbon, by default. It can be placed below the Ribbon if desired, by clicking the “Customize Quick Access Toolbar” button at the right end of the toolbar and then selecting the “Show Below the Ribbon” command. To reset its default location click, the same “Customize Quick Access Toolbar” button and then choose the “Show Above the Ribbon” command. Learn this and more during this lecture.
- Touch Mode- 20131:21Because of the increased use of tablets, PowerPoint 2013 has been redesigned with a new mode to allow for easier access to the buttons and other commands within the Ribbon and Quick Access toolbar. This mode is called touch mode. When you enter touch mode, the Ribbon and Quick Access toolbar are enlarged and extra space is added around the buttons and commands within the Ribbon and Quick Access toolbar so that you can more easily access them on your touch-based tablet. Learn this and more during this lecture.
- The Scroll Bars1:03Depending upon your magnification level, scroll bars can appear both vertically and horizontally along the right and bottom sides of your presentation slide.

This does not modify the presentation in any way, but rather changes your perception of how close or far away the slides in your presentation appear onscreen. Learn this and more during this lecture.
- The Status Bar1:08At the bottom of the application window is a long, thin, horizontal bar in which you find objects such as the “Zoom Slider” and the “Presentation Views.” The bar within which these tools appear is called the Status Bar.

Our course design helps maximize the learning retention of our self-study courses. Each course contains different learning modalities that help reinforce the topics. We initially present each topic’s information in a course manual in a written, conversational style to provide a conceptual overview. These overviews are followed by instructions, showing the specific actions required to perform the tasks related to the topic. These topic actions are then combined with each other into exercises at the end of each chapter to show their interconnected relationships.
Each course topic is also enhanced with an audio-visual lesson in the form of a video. The video lesson shows how to perform the topic’s actions as the instructor simultaneously narrates the topic’s overview.
Whether you are completely new to PowerPoint or upgrading from an older version, this course will empower you with the knowledge and skills necessary to be a proficient user. We have incorporated years of classroom training experience and teaching techniques to develop an easy-to-use course that you can customize to meet your personal learning needs.
