2. Objective
The objective of this Power Point is to
teach user’s the basics of Microsoft
Power Point.
This will lead into user’s making their
own slides on the RTC’s evacuation
procedures, with an example of what it
may look like.
3. What will be covered
In this presentation we will cover the
following:
Creating a new Power Point presentation
Changing the theme of a presentation
Adding text to slides
Adding slides to a presentation
Adding images to a presentation
Animating the transition between slides
Creating a slide show for presentation
4. Creating a Power Point
Presentation
To start off we must open Power Point.
This is normally done by click the start button
on the lower left bottom of the screen.
Once this is done a window will pop-up and on
that window there will be a bar that says
programs
After clicking programs a list of folders will
appear, one of them being Microsoft Office
Clicking that folder will open a few
programs, one of them being Microsoft Power
Point
5. Start Button, while different with
other versions of windows, the start
button is always located here
6. Creating a Power Point
Presentation
Normally after opening power point a new
presentation will be opened.
However should you need to make a new one
this is how it is done:
Locate the File button towards the upper right
of the screen and click it
Once the File tab is clicked there will be a
ribbon to the left labeled NEW.
Once clicked a icon labeled Blank
Presentation will appear, double click on that
and you will have made a new Presentation.

8. Creating a Power Point
Presentation
After creating your first presentation you
should have a screen such as this:
9. Changing the Theme
Next topic we will cover is how to
change the theme of your Power Point.
Without a theme a presentation is
dull, and can pull the audience away
from said presentation.
To do this we need to click the design
tab at the top.
10. Changing the Theme
There is no right or wrong when it comes to
themes, its all about personal preference
and what flows with your presentation
11. Changing the Theme
As the last slide showed, there are many
themes for users to choose from.
One thing to be noted however is that
each theme is unique, and changes the
format and layout of your slides.
Despite this however, you can rearrange
the format of your slides.
It just takes a little practice while you are
trying to get comfortable with Power
Point.
12. Adding texts to slides
As I’ve said before this is what your first
presentation should look like:
13. Adding text to slides
As the previous slide showed, there
were two grey boxes.
To add text to a slide it is as simple as
moving your mouse anywhere inside
that box, clicking, then typing.
14. Adding Slides
No presentation can be done with just
one slide.
Next I will explain how to create more
slides and the type of slides there are.
First you need to make sure that you are
under the home tab, which is located
towards the top left of Power Point, right
next to the file tab.
15. Adding Slides
Once you are under the home tab you
will notice that there is a button that says
New Slide.
16. Adding Slides
Once you have located the new slide
button click the little arrow next to it. It
brings down a drop down box.
17. Adding Slides
Now with Microsoft Power Point you have
many options.
Each slide choice has its own set-up, but
for now the main focus should be on the
“title slides” and “title and content slides”
These are the two slides you will be using
the most with Power Point.
After the drop down box appears simply
clicking one of the choices will create a
new slide.
19. Adding Pictures
The insert tab has many wonderful
features for adding pictures and clip art.
To add pictures you simple press the
pictures button while under the Insert
tab.
A window will then pop-up directing you
to locate what picture you would like.
Power Point also comes with its own
art, called Clip art which has its own
search.
20. Animating Transitions
Transitions are effects that you can
apply to the exit and enter of each slide
in your presentation.
Like the themes there are many
transitions to choose from and it is up to
the user to find one he/she likes.
To access these, click the animation
tab, then click the slide you want to add
an animation to, then click the add
animation button
22. Creating a Slide Show
Now that we have covered the basics its
time to save our work. Once again go to
the home tab.
23. Creating a Slide Show
Once you have clicked Save As a
window will pop-up looking like this:
24. Creating a Slide Show
Once this windows pops up it is
important for you to make sure that
under the field where it says Save Type
as is Power Point Show.
If not there is a drop down box that will
give you choices.
You can name your file as well an
choose where to put it!
25. Evacuation Process
After you have become comfortable with
Power Point lets try a project
Using power point create a few slides on
the evacuation process for the RTC
Building.
The next few slide will be an example of
what it may look like.
26. RTC Evacuation Process
In case of emergency please follow the
next few slide for they contain maps on
proper exits for the RTC Building.
Always remain calm during an
emergency, and follow an instructor
directions.
