It has a battery of supplied functions to answer statistical, engineering and financial needs. In addition, it can display data as line graphs, histograms and charts, and with a very limited three-dimensional graphical display. It allows sectioning of data to view its dependencies on various factors for different perspectives (using pivot tables and the scenario manager). How to open Microsoft Excel 2007?

VL TECH Page 25 MS-POWER POINT PowerPoint is a presentation software package. With PowerPoint, you can easily create slide shows. Trainers and other presenters use slide shows to illustrate their presentations. This lesson introduces you to the PowerPoint window. You use the window to interact with the software. To begin, open PowerPoint 2007. The window appears and your screen looks similar to the one shown here. STARTING POWERPOINT 1. Open PowerPoint by double-clicking the PowerPoint 2007 icon on the Desktop, or from Start/Programs/Microsoft Office/Microsoft PowerPoint 2007. The PowerPoint 2007 window appears displaying a blank presentation 2. Observe the different elements in the window. At the top in the centre is the presentation name. An unsaved presentation has the name "Presentation" [number] - Microsoft PowerPoint, but once a presentation is named and saved, the name and extension will appear. (PowerPoint 2007 presentations have the extension .pptx.) The Ribbon The most outstanding feature of PowerPoint 2007 is the Ribbon, which replaces the menus and toolbars found in previous versions of Microsoft PowerPoint. The ribbon consists of three areas: Tabs - these are at the top of the ribbon, eg Home, Design, Animations, etc. Groups - each tab has its own set of groups - eg the Home tab contains the Clipboard, Slides, Font, Paragraph, Drawing and Editing groups. Some groups also have a small button in the lower right-hand corner known as the Dialog Box Launcher from which further options are available. When a different tab is VL TECH Page 26 selected, the groups change accordingly. Commands – these are the buttons, boxes or menus relative to each group, eg the alignment, and bullets and numbering buttons are in the Paragraph group, while Find and Replace are in the Editing group. (Note: resting the mouse pointer on a command will display a tip describing the feature.) Using the ribbon is easy. Whenever you need to change something, click the relevant Tab, look in the correct Group, then click the command you need. Reuse (import) slides from another presentation 1.

Record a Narration in PowerPoint 2007 The Record Narration dialog box informs you how much hard drive space you have and calculates the maximum length of the narration that you can record. The Microphone Check dialog box opens. Talk into the microphone. PowerPoint adjusts your microphone sensitivity. When you’re finished, click OK. The first slide of your presentation displays. When you reach the end of the slide show, PowerPoint asks if you want to save the timings. As you record the narration, leave a gap between each slide. PowerPoint records the narration for each slide as a separate sound file and attaches the sound to the slide. You get cut off if you talk through slide transitions VL TECH Page 29 To advance slides manually, click Don’t Save. You’re taken to PowerPoint’s Slide Sorter View, where the timing for each slide is displayed along with the slides. The slide show begins. The narration plays through your computer’s speakers.

To delete a narration, click the speaker icon in the corner of the slide and press Delete. To delete the narration for an entire presentation, delete the speaker icon from every slide. PRESENTER VIEW: Presenter view in PowerPoint features options that allow you more control over the slide show presentation, such as the ability to show slides out of sequence and a black-out button that allows you to blacken the screen for the audience while maintaining your view of the presentation and your notes on your own monitor. Presenter view works on an operating system that supports multiple displays, such as Microsoft Windows® 98, Microsoft Windows 2000, and Microsoft Windows XP or later, and allows you to run your presentation from one monitor and let the audience view it on another monitor or a projector. VL TECH Page 30 Using presenter view In presenter view, icons and buttons are large enough to navigate easily, even when you are using an unfamiliar keyboard or mouse. The following illustration shows the various tools available to you from this view. Create a basic custom slide show 1. On the Slide Show tab, in the Start Slide Show group, click the arrow next to Custom Slide Show, and then click Custom Shows. 2. In the Custom Shows dialog box, click New. 3. Under Slides in presentation, click the slides that you want to include in the custom show, and then clickAdd. TIP To select multiple sequential slides, click the first slide, and then hold down SHIFT while you click the last slide that you want to select. To select multiple nonsequential slides, hold down CTRL while you click each slide that you want to select. 4. To change the order in which slides appear, under Slides in custom show, click a slide, and then click one of the arrows to move the slide up or down in the list. 5. Type a name in the Slide show name box, and then click OK. To create additional custom shows with any slides in your presentation, repeat steps 1 through 5. VL TECH Page 31 Thumbnails of slides; click a thumbnail to skip slides or return to a slide that has already been presented. This is the slide currently being shown to the audience. End Show button.

VL TECH Page 32 Setting up a presentation to use presenter view In order to use presenter view, your computer must meet the following requirements: The computer must have multiple monitor capability — check with the manufacturer about this. Usually desktop computers require two video cards in order to have multiple monitor capability; laptops often have the capability built in.
