Working with a Presentation Outline

One way to create a presentation is to
concentrate first on the content of the
presentation.
The content of the presentation is the most
important aspect and should be focused on
during creation.

Entering the text on the Outline and Slides
Pane will enable the student to focus on
the content rather than design.
You can change to the Outline and Slides
pane by clicking the Outline tab.
Every time you enter in Outline, you will
get a new slide. To type content on the
same slide, you will need to tab, then you
shift and tab to go back to the left. (You
are promoting and demoting using the tab
key.)

Any outline that is created as a Word
format(.docx), rich text format(.rtf), or plain text
format(.txt) document can be imported into a
presentation in PowerPoint.
Insert Outline option will save time in creating a
presentation if the content is already available in
a document.
Outline levels can be altered after the content is
inserted into PowerPoint.
You inset content into a presentation using the
New Slides from the Outline Command in the
Slide Group on the Home Ribbon.

The zoom scale on a presentation will alter the size of the
presentation’s visible area.
The Zoom command is on the View Ribbon.
You can modify the scale of a presentation using the
Zoom Group on the View Ribbon.
The scale can be adjusted using the suggested
percentages, or a custom percentage can be keyed into
the Percent spin-box.
The custom scale size is found in the Zoom command on
the View Ribbon.
Expanding and collapsing the contents on the Outline tab
will also allow the user to see more of the slides that are
included in the presentation.
You collapse the contents on the Outline tab of the
Outline and Slides Pane.

the Outline tab of the Outline and Slide
pane.

Outlines or slides can be exported to Microsoft
Word, and text formatting can be applied in
Word.
Microsoft Word is required on the user’s
computer in order to export an outline or slide
as a document.
The feature can also be used if the outline or
slide is saved as a rich text format. The file can
then be opened in Microsoft WordPad.
You export an outline to Microsoft Word using
the Save and Send Command under the File Tab.

Saving a document as a rich text format
file can enable the file to be opened in
many other word processing programs,
including older versions of PowerPoint.
You can save a presentation as rich text
format file in PowerPoint using Save As
under the file Tab.
