Jan's Working with Presentations

   Advanced: Summary

Working with outlines helps you organize your thoughts. With planning, you can use an outline in a plain text or word processing document to create a presentation. Spaces, tabs, or heading styles mark the various outline levels.

Images, tables, and charts can add interest and information. These objects can be animated along with the text. Charts can be revealed by series or by category. You must be careful to keep it simple enough for your viewers to be able to read.

You have many choices of how to play your presentation and therefore how to save it. Package for CD allows you to take extra files and fonts along and, in PowerPoint 2007, even a viewer for old computers without PowerPoint.
