PowerPoint Tips
Are you puzzled when
using PowerPoint sometimes? In this article, I will list some small
PowerPoint tips. Maybe they are all common, but practical ones. Hope these
tips will make you convenient in your work and life.

1. How to
Resize Pictures
You can size pictures in
PowerPoint by clicking the picture with the
mouse and dragging it to a new size. If you don't want to "stretch"
the picture (keeping the horizontal aspect ratio the same) but enlarge
it, hold the Crtl key when changing the size. You can also click the
corner of the picture and enlarge it and the aspect ratio will remain
the same.
2. How to
Use Scanned Photos in PowerPoint
In Microsoft PowerPoint,
you may want to add your own scanned photos into a slide to spice up your
presentation. But very large pictures
can slow down you slide show when they start to load.

Even if a picture takes
only a few seconds to load, it can throw off your entire presentation, as
well as your timing. Recommend using smaller sized photos to help your
slide show run exactly how it should.
3. How to Use
Graphics with Text Efficiently
While working in Microsoft
PowerPoint, you may decide to use text over
graphics. This can either make or break your presentation, depending
on how well you select your font and color. When working with text and
a full color, it can be very difficult to pick the right color and
font style. However, when working with a picture that only contains a
few colors, text on top of it can spice up the slide's appearance.
4. How to Record a
Narration in PowerPoint
You can record a narration
into a PowerPoint slide easily. Do this:
• Go to the Slide
you wish to add a narration to.
• From the Insert menu select Movies and Sounds.
• Click Record Sounds.
• When ready, click the Record button (the red circle).
• When finished recording, click the black Stop button.
• Click OK.
5. How to
Add a Background Sound to a PowerPoint Slide
To add a background
sound to a PowerPoint slide, follow this:
• Open the Insert menu.
• Select Movies and Sounds.
• Click Play CD Audio Track.
When a CD is inserted,
a dialog box will appear. From here, simply choose the track you
want and select the options you want for it. During your presentation,
simply double-click on its icon to start the music.
6. When
Using AVI files with Presentations
Using an AVI file with a
presentation may spice it up, but it can also
ruin it. Make sure to keep your AVI file normal size. A movie playing
that is viewed too big will not have anywhere near the quality that a
smaller viewed movie will.
7. How to Convert
Your PowerPoint to DVD
You can use Windows Movie
Maker, but you may not be able to keep the animations and sounds in your
presentation. Another choice is to use a professional tool to help you do
this easily. Here I recommend the
Wondershare PPT2DVD. With a high conversion quality, you can do it
easily.
