People use Microsoft’s downloadable software, Microsoft Office, for a number of things, including
- keeping track of finances with Microsoft Excel
- writing papers for college or clients using Microsoft Word
- preparing a slide presentation or even a video using Microsoft PowerPoint
If you have never tried Microsoft PowerPoint or if you simply aren’t aware of how helpful it can be, below are some tips that can help you to get the most out of downloading this software.
Creating A Slide Presentation
People wish to create a slide presentation for a number of reasons, such as having a visual for a work or class assignment or even for sharing pictures of a lost loved one to show to family at his funeral.
Whatever the reason for wanting to prepare a slide presentation, below are the steps to help you do so:
1. Open PowerPoint.
2. Open a blank presentation.
3. Type in any desired text.
4. Insert any desired pictures.
5. Save your presentation.
Creating A Video Presentation
If you are wanting to add timings to your slide (meaning that you would like the slides to automatically skip to the next slide without you having to prompt it to do so), then you should turn your PowerPoint presentation into a video.
You do this by simply clicking Slide Show and then Record Slide Show.
If you would like to add audio to each slide, just speak while the slide show is recording.
Save your presentation as an MPEG-4 file, then your video will be all set to share and view!
Why It’s A Good Idea To Use PowerPoint
If you run a business that you would like to partially or fully automate, then using PowerPoint to create videos is a good idea.
Many people start their own business for the time freedom. If you are one of these people, having content already ready for your clients will allow you to put in effort for a short while but be able to reap the benefits for the long-term.
As mentioned earlier, some people also use PowerPoint for class work and others for much more personal use.
Whatever your reason for needing or wanting to create content, PowerPoint is one of the most ideal platforms.
