So we looked at a cross-cutting example of creating a simple presentation. Today we will take a closer look at some of the ways to create slides. There is no limit to perfection in creativity, you just need to know some tricks and skillfully use them.
So, today we have options for creating slides. This is the first thing we do when we think of our presentation. Many beginners starting to master Power Point are sure that this is such a difficult task that they don’t even know which way to approach it. But the main thing is to start.
You will see that the process is not complicated and the program itself is intuitive. Sometimes it is more difficult to find content for a presentation than to design it. So…
Many, when editing ready-made presentations, ask if it is possible to add slides not at the very end, but in the right place, between them. Yes, you can. Everything is very simple, the slide is part of the document and you can add it anywhere. For example, we have a finished presentation. Put the cursor on the desired slide; right-click to call the context menu and select "Create slide:
The created slide will be placed below the selected one and will have the same layout:
You can also create a slide by duplicating the desired one. A copy will be created:
If you need to create a slide that differs from the previous one in structure, then use the "Create Slide" section in the top menu:
After that, we can select the desired template or an empty sheet. Depending on the content, we select the desired template; you can insert any content there.
What about vertical slides? We are used to landscape orientation being the standard, but this does not always suit us. After all, then the images are stretched or reduced, and this is ugly.
You cannot make one slide vertical among landscapes in one Power Point document. When you try to change the orientation, all slides become vertical. In order to change the orientation, you need to open the "Design" tab in the top menu, then find the "Slide Size" icon:
By selecting "Adjust Slide Size" from the menu, we can now adjust the vertical orientation and dimensions:
This will make all the slides in the document vertical. This categorically does not suit us, our entire presentation will break down. What can be done? We read about this in the next chapter.
What is a presentation? A document that we will show to the audience, for example, on a projector. For the viewer, continuous display and content is important. And how it's done technically, he won't even notice. The size of a slide, as well as its orientation, cannot be changed for only one slide, the changes will be applied to the rest. Therefore, we will create a new presentation with a vertical orientation and the desired dimensions.
All we then need to do is create links between our presentations using links. So, . Go to the "Design" tab, then find the "Slide Size" icon. Set the size of the slide as in the previous example. Click "Expand"when you decide on the selection of the size:
Now we need to link the two presentations together. To do this, we will use links or hyperlinks. At the time of the show, on a certain page there will be a link that will take you to the vertical slide of the new presentation. Further, the show will continue from there. Let's make another link to the desired slide from the first presentation. In this way, two presentations will be shown, but the audience will not even notice. I have already created two presentations on educational topics.
Perhaps before showing, you will need to change the security settings in Power Point. In order for the program (during the display) not to issue warnings when clicking on a hyperlink, you need to disable one setting. It's called "Enable Safe View for files in potentially dangerous locations (File - Options - Trust Center - Protected View). And restart the program.
In one of the articles, it was already briefly shown what animation and transitions are. We have changed the behavior of the slide as such. Our task is to make the animation so that the content of the slide moves. Each element on the slide - headings, text, photos can be made to behave in a certain way. Something like a cartoon. The presentation of the material can be made more interesting and visual.
In Power Point 2013, all animation is in the "Animation" tab, in which you must first enable the "Animation Area":
For example, I created a new slide, on which I placed the background, and only two objects, so as not to complicate things. The program allows you to set up the movement of objects both according to templates and manually. You yourself can draw any trajectories of movement of these objects. Animation effects are also configured when opening a slide, during viewing, and also before closing. Choose whatever you like.
You can also make settings so that any presentation object (headings, photos, shapes) can be moved in order of priority relative to each other or at the same time. I hope I did it quite simply and beautifully. Watch video:
Continuing the topic of shapes, I’ll finally tell you that for clarity, you can put some shape we need on the slide, for example, a quote. You need to open the "Insert" menu, then "Shapes":
In the callouts, select the one you need and use it. Also in the program, you can use flowcharts to supply suitable material:
Please note that for convenience, the most recent or frequently used shapes appear at the top of the list for convenience. You can choose any suitable shapes, there are a lot of them, there are even control buttons at the very bottom. Try, you will succeed. And that's all for today, for now.
By default, slides are in landscape orientation.
Move the slides for which you want to change the orientation to portrait into a new presentation file. For what:
In area Slides in normal mode, that is, in a mode that provides a way for the user to interact with the presentation, select the slides for which you want to change the orientation.
On the menu Edit select a team Cut.
Create an empty presentation.
On the menu Edit select a team Insert.
Change the orientation of the presentation slides. for what: In the menu File select a team Page settings and in the subdomain Slides areas Orientation check the bookmark box and then save the created presentation.
Create a link in the original presentation to the new presentation. Why: Select the text or object that you want to associate with the new presentation. On the menu slide show select a team Setting up an action. Check box Follow the hyperlink and select from the list. Select a new presentation and click the button OK.
Create a link in the new presentation to the original presentation. Why: Select the text or object that you want to return to the original presentation when clicked. On the menu slide show select a team Setting up an action. Check box Follow the hyperlink and select from the list Another PowerPoint presentation. Select the original presentation and click the button OK. Listed Slide Title select the title you want to link to the original presentation and click the button OK.
Save both presentation files.
Note. To demonstrate the created slides, both presentations must be present, and their files must be in the same directory in which they were located when the links were created.
Application window MS PowerPoint(Fig.8.2.11) consists of two parts: presenting the presentation in the Normal mode and the Task Pane.
Application Dialog MS PowerPoint consists of:

Linking presentations
Hiding individual slides
The procedure is simple, but it can be very useful, for example, if the presentation is addressed to two audiences at once - customers and partners. Those slides that should be shown to partners may not be of interest to clients.
You can hide some slides on the Slide Show tab using the Hide Slide button. It is more convenient to hide slides in the Slide Sorter mode (this mode is selected by the button of the same name in the status bar located at the bottom of the program window). In this case, the numbers of hidden slides are marked with a strikethrough. Hidden slides remain in the presentation but are not shown when shown. You can open a slide for display by clicking the Hide Slide button again. If there are several slides, it is convenient to pre-select them by clicking on them with the mouse button while pressing the Ctrl key.
This operation can link multiple presentations into a single slide show. You can not only link sequentially, one after another, but also call one presentation from any frame to another, more precisely, even from any object of any frame.
To do this, you need to switch to the normal slide editing mode. In the slide, you need to select the object or text from which the transition to another presentation is made, press the right mouse button and in the context menu that appears, select the Hyperlink command, and then in the window that appears, select another presentation that you want to open.
You can return from the linked presentation to the original one by repeating the described steps with the last slide of the linked presentation.
Linking procedures can be used to change the order of the presentation of slides already contained in the presentation, only when assigning an action, you need to choose to follow a hyperlink to another slide.
By default, all slide layouts are in landscape orientation. This is not always convenient - along with the landscape in the presentation, it may be necessary to use the portrait orientation of the slides. This problem is solved by the above described procedure for linking two presentations.
Create a new presentation and copy the original slides whose orientation you want to change into it. Delete these slides from the original presentation.
In the new presentation, change the orientation to portrait (Design tab, Slide Orientation button). Consistently repeating the operations of linking two presentations described above, connect both presentations with transitions. Do not forget to insert a link to the original one in the last slide of the new presentation. Save both presentations. When showing, both presentation files must be in the same directory. Thus, in reality, you will be showing two presentations, which allows you to bypass the restriction on slide orientation in one.
PowerPoint has a huge amount of possibilities. You only got acquainted with the basic operations that are used to create a presentation, and some practical features. You can continue further study of the program, relying on the acquired knowledge, the help system of the program and your own intuition.
Features of PowerPoint 2007
All of the above features of PowerPoint applied to the program as a whole. The latest version running under Windows has a number of great features worth mentioning.
Have you noticed that the presentation sheets in PowerPoint from MS Office 2013 seem to have become wider compared to previous versions of the program? The fact is that PowerPoint 2013 has a 16:9 aspect ratio by default - designed for modern widescreen monitors. However, what if it turns out that your slideshow is running on old hardware, with the "old" output format having an aspect ratio of 4:3?
Fortunately, at any time you can adjust everything to the current moment - the main thing is to know how to do it.
I have a presentation page open with an unusual chart that we created in one of the . Made in PowerPoint 2013, it has a 4:3 aspect ratio by default. Let's go to Design tab and in the group tune» discover Slide Size tool. Let's try to change the screen format?
When you select a new format, a window will appear with the options "expand" and "sizing". The first option is not very interesting for us - it simply physically reframes the slide to a 4:3 format, and what does not fit will simply remain behind the scenes, in the literal sense.
However, for testing your slideshow, how it will look in different formats, "Expand" is a very convenient setting, so you can not discard it.
If we use the "size selection" option, the contents of the slide will be automatically resized and fit into the new format.
However, as in the first version, the view of the slide is now far from ideal. Fixing this is quite easy - you just need to select all the elements of the slide and increase their size by dragging any of the corner control points. Don't forget to merge slide elements (CTR+G).
And if you need to display your presentation not in the traditional, "landscape" orientation, when the slides are placed horizontally, but put it vertically, that is, change the orientation to "portrait"?
Use the same "Slide Size" tool, but do not use the standard sizes, but select "Adjust Slide Size". In the window that opens, in the "orientation" block, you just need to change the format to "portrait" and click the "OK" button.
In my opinion, this operation is not applicable for one slide, all slides change.
Using Portrait and Landscape Slides in the Same Presentation In Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007, slide layouts are set to landscape by default. For the entire presentation, you can specify only one orientation - landscape or portrait, and to show slides in both portrait and landscape orientations, you can link two presentations into one. To link two presentations, follow these steps: Note. It's a good idea to place both presentations in the same folder before creating links. If the folder is copied to a CD or moved, the presentations will remain linked. Create a link in the first presentation to the second presentation. In the first presentation, select the text or object you want to click to go to the second presentation. On the Insert tab, in the Links group, click Action. On the On Click tab or on the On Hover tab, click the Hyperlink To button, and then select Other Presentation from the list. Find and select the second presentation and click OK. In the Slide Hyperlink box, in the Slide group, select the slide you want to link to, and then click OK twice. Link the second presentation to the first presentation: In the Hyperlink to Slide box, in the Slide group, select the slide you want to link to, and then click OK twice. On the Insert tab, in the Links group, click Action. On the On Click tab or on the On Mouse Hover tab, click the Hyperlink To button, and then select Other Presentation from the list. Find and select the first presentation and click OK. In the Slide Hyperlink box, in the Slide group, select the slide you want to link to, and then click OK twice.

How to change the orientation of one slide Created: 11/7/2011
Updated: 10/31/2014 Like This means changing the orientation of a presentation slide made using PowerPoint 2007. The program cannot change the orientation of an individual slide from portrait to landscape or vice versa. This change will affect the entire presentation.
But you can make 2 presentations and combine their work by placing them in one folder and creating hyperlinks: in one, make one slide with the desired slide orientation, and in the other, with the other.
Then, link their work together with hyperlinks.
To do this, in the first presentation, you need to create a link to the second in the desired slide. Do the same with the second one.
Where the tab Insert there is a group Connections. Choose an item like Action.
Next we see the tab By mouse click. You need to select and click the line Follow the hyperlink, and after, in the list itself, select the line again Another presentation She's near the bottom of the list.
Now look for the desired presentation and click OK.
Back in the field Follow the hyperlink, in a group from the list called Slide- select the slide to which you want to create a link and click OK.
The result is a single presentation with different slide orientations. A similar trick can be done with multiple merged presentations.

The need to change the size of a slide in PowerPoint can arise for several reasons: the need for a presentation, the technical requirements of the equipment (for example, a projector), the requirements for submitting materials, and much more. In this article, I will detail how to resize presentation slides correctly, and what problems you may have at each step, as well as how you can avoid them.
First, let's figure out what is the size of a slide in PowerPoint. When they say "size" they usually mean millimeters, centimeters or pixels. In fact, more important for preparing a presentation is the aspect ratio of a slide in PowerPoint. Any slide can be stretched or compressed, but only if the proportions of the slide are maintained, the image will not be distorted, and the quality will not deteriorate. Here it is necessary to make a reservation: if in your presentation you use low-quality bitmap images (for example, photographs), then such images will lose quality when the slide is proportionally enlarged in any case. This is largely why all high-quality presentation templates, illustrations, diagrams, infographics are made using the built-in PowerPoint tools, which eliminates quality loss when resizing. If you change the size of a PowerPoint slide, this will not affect the quality of such images in any way.
If you are creating a new presentation you will be prompted with two PowerPoint slide sizes to choose from 16:9 or 4:3. These sizes are the most common, such as the 16:9 aspect ratio of an iPad mini or iMac, as well as most modern monitors and presentation displays. The aspect ratio of 4:3 corresponds to most projectors used in conferences and seminars, and this format is also more convenient for printing on an office printer. Therefore, in 90% of cases, you will choose the standard slide size in PowerPoint.
If you are preparing a presentation for public speaking, I recommend that you clarify in advance the technical requirements of the equipment that will be used for the demonstration. If this is not possible, use the slide aspect ratio in PowerPoint 4:3. In the worst case scenario, your presentation will have a lot of padding on the sides, but all the information will be displayed.
If you're starting to work on an existing presentation and need to know the slide size in PowerPoint:
In a popup window "Slide Size" displays the current slide size in PowerPoint.
If you need to resize a slide in PowerPoint, I recommend that you make a backup copy of your presentation beforehand so that you can return to the original file at any time. Very often, resizing a slide causes errors. Here are just a few: images are distorted, text blocks are resized due to which part of the text is not displayed, the contents of the slide go beyond the boundaries of the visible area, ungrouped objects change their position relative to each other. Let's take a look at how to change the size of a slide in PowerPoint and avoid such mistakes.
I very often encounter the need to change the size of a slide in PowerPoint and I can say for sure that I almost always encounter errors. The best solution is to use the scaling option with the fewest errors and then manually fix them.
Sometimes you may need to use vertical slide orientation. Vertical slides in PowerPoint will allow you to use your presentation exclusively in print, but I do not recommend using portrait orientation for public presentations. This format is not supported by projectors and screens. To make a vertical slide in PowerPoint you need:
Important: don't forget to back up your presentation before making any changes. Any changes may result in errors in the display of your content.
In order for your presentation to look perfect on print, you need to consider the size of the slides. If you plan to print your presentation on an office printer, the slide format should match the size of the printed sheet. To create an A4 slide in PowerPoint and prepare your presentation for printing:
The ability to print a presentation is available in all versions of PowerPoint. But in new versions, the possibilities have expanded significantly: you can print presentation slides, separate notes pages, presentation structure (with a hierarchy into sections and subsections), print several slide thumbnails on one sheet. You will find all the possibilities in the tab File > Print.
Let's take a closer look at printing from PowerPoint on an office presentation slide printer.
Important: If you are using an office printer to print a handout of your presentation, keep the following limitations in mind:
If you are using PowerPoint to create posters, the maximum size allowed may be important to you. The maximum size of a PowerPoint presentation in newer versions cannot exceed 56 inches, which is just over 140 cm. But in fact, you can have posters of any size. The only requirement is to keep the aspect ratio.
You can also use the print to scale option. In the print dialog, check the box next to "Fit to Sheet Size"(this option can be found under "Seal").
I told you about a universal way to print very large posters created in PowerPoint. But more often, you may want to resize your PowerPoint slide to a standard paper size. How to make A1 format in PowerPoint? Use the instructions from the section What is the size of the slide in PowerPoint, and select from the list « Slides Size » > « Arbitrary". Set in the fields « Width" And « Height" right size.
Use the table to determine the correct size (table).
It is not possible to rotate a single slide in PowerPoint. Largely due to the fact that the presentation is considered as a whole. If you need to use several slide formats within one presentation, you will have to create separate presentation files, or combine ready-made and exported slides (PDF, JPG) together.
If you have questions or can't change the size of a slide in PowerPoint, I'll be happy to answer them in the comments to this post. Have a nice day and productive work!
