BACKGROUND OF INFORMATION
What is Microsoft PowerPoint?

1|Page
 Microsoft PowerPoint is a presentation program that allows you to create dynamic
slide presentations, organize, summarize and format your materials. These presentations
can include animation, narration, images, videos, and multimedia components.

It was first developed by Robert Gaskin and Dennis Austin of Forethought, Inc. It
was then called as the “Presenter”. It was renamed “PowerPoint” when Forethought was
purchased by Microsoft Corporation in 1987.

What is It

Working with the PowerPoint environment

The Ribbon and Quick Access Toolbar are where you will find the commands to perform
common tasks in PowerPoint. Backstage view gives you various options for saving,
opening a file, printing, and sharing your document.

3|Page
The Ribbon

PowerPoint uses a tabbed Ribbon system instead of traditional menus. The

Ribbon contains multiple tabs, each with several groups of commands. For example, the
Font group on the Home tab contains commands for formatting text in your document.

Some groups also have a small arrow in the bottom-right corner that you can click for even
more options.

Showing and Hiding the Ribbon

The Ribbon is designed to respond to your current task, but you can choose to minimize it
if you find that it takes up too much screen space. Click the Ribbon Display
Options arrow in the upper-right corner of the Ribbon to display the drop-down menu.

 Auto-hide Ribbon: Auto-

hide displays your workbook
in full-screen mode and
completely hides the Ribbon.
To show the Ribbon, click
the Expand
Ribbon command at the top
of screen.
 Show Tabs: This option
hides all command groups
when they're not in use,
but tabs will remain visible.
To show the Ribbon, simply
click a tab.

4|Page
  Show Tabs and Commands: This option maximizes the Ribbon. All of the tabs
and commands will be visible. This option is selected by default when you
open PowerPoint for the first time.

Using the Tell Me Feature

If you're having trouble finding command you want, the Tell Me feature can help. It works
just like a regular search bar: Type what you're looking for, and a list of options will appear.
You can then use the command directly from the menu without having to find it on the
Ribbon.

The Quick Access Toolbar

Located just above the Ribbon, the Quick Access Toolbar lets you access common
commands no matter which tab is selected. By default, it includes the Save, Undo, Redo,
and Start From Beginning commands. You can add other commands depending on your
preference.

To add commands to the Quick Access Toolbar:

1. Click the drop-down arrow to the right of the Quick Access Toolbar.

2. Select the command you want to add from the drop-down menu. To choose
from more commands, select More Commands.

Minimize, Restore Down or Maximize, and Close buttons.

your slides. Simply click the check boxes in the Show group on the View tab to show and

window. They enable you to shift between two different ways of viewing your slides. The
Slides tab shows thumbnails of your slides. The Outline tab shows the text on your slides.
