Do you want to have your data in a slide show? If you have Microsoft 365, you can use PowerPoint! PowerPoint is a program that's part of the Microsoft Office suite (which you have to pay for) and is available for both Windows and Mac computers. This wikiHow teaches you how to create your own Microsoft PowerPoint presentation on a computer.

How to Make a PowerPoint Presentation

• Open the PowerPoint app, select a template and theme, then like “Create.”
• Click the text box to add your title and subtitle to create your title slide.
• Click the “Insert” tab, then “New Slide” to add another slide.
• Choose the type of slide you want to add, then add text and pictures.
• Rearrange slides by dragging them up or down in the preview box.

Things You Should Know

• Templates make it easy to create vibrant presentations no matter your skill level.
• When adding photos, you can adjust their sizes by clicking and dragging in or out from their corners.
• You can add animated transitions between slides or to individual elements like bullet points and blocks of text.

• If you don't have a Microsoft Office 365 subscription, you can use the website instead of the desktop app. Go to https://powerpoint.office.com/ to use the website version.
• You can also use the mobile app to make presentations, though it's easier to do this on a computer, which has a larger screen, a mouse, and a keyboard.

• If you don't want to use a template, just click the Blank option in the upper-left side of the page and skip to the next part.

• Skip this step if your selected template has no themes available.

• If you're creating a PowerPoint presentation for which an elaborate title slide has been requested, ignore this step.

• You can change the font and size of text used from the Home tab that's in the orange ribbon at the top of the window.

• You can also just leave this box blank if you like.

• You can also click and drag in or out one of a text box's corners to shrink or enlarge the text box.

• On a Mac, you'll click the Home tab instead. [1] X Research source

• Clicking the white slide-shaped box above this option will result in a new text slide being inserted.

• Title Slide
• Title and Content
• Section Header
• Two Content
• Content with Caption
• Picture with Caption

• Naturally, the title slide should be the first slide in your presentation, meaning that it should be the top slide in the left-hand column.

• Skip this step and the next two steps if your selected slide uses a template that doesn't have text boxes in it.

• Text boxes in PowerPoint will automatically format the bulk of your text for you (e.g., adding bullet points) based on the context of the content itself.
• You can add notes that the Presentation will not include (but you'll still be able to see them on your screen) by clicking Notes at the bottom of the slide.

• You can change the font of the selected text by clicking the current font's name and then clicking your preferred font.
• If you want to change the size of the text, click the numbered drop-down box and then click a larger or smaller number based on whether you want to enlarge or shrink the text.
• You can also change the color, bolding, italicization, underlining, and so on from here.

• Photos in particular can be enlarged or shrunk by clicking and dragging out or in one of their corners.

• Remember to keep slides uncluttered and relatively free of distractions. It's best to keep the amount of text per slide to around 33 words or less. [2] X Research source

• Slide content will animate in the order in which you assign transitions. For example, if you animate a photo on the slide and then animate the title, the photo will appear before the title.
• Make your slideshow progress automatically by setting the speed of every transition to align with your speech as well as setting each slide to Advance . [3] X Trustworthy Source Microsoft Support Technical support and product information from Microsoft. Go to source

• If you need to exit the presentation, press Esc .

• Windows - Click File , click Save , double-click This PC , select a save location, enter a name for your presentation, and click Save .
• Mac - Click File , click Save As... , enter the presentation's name in the "Save As" field, select a save location by clicking the "Where" box and clicking a folder, and click Save .

Community Q&A

• If you save your PowerPoint presentation in .pps format instead of the default .ppt format, double-clicking your PowerPoint presentation file will prompt the presentation to open directly into the slideshow view. Thanks Helpful 6 Not Helpful 0

What Is PowerPoint And What It Is Used For?

All of us who are familiar with this multifaceted presentation software, Microsoft PowerPoint create the slideshow. With text, pictures, charts, videos, and animations, you will be able to present information in such a manner that it not only reads well but also entertains. For students, tasked with making presentations for school projects, professionals, tasked with the duty of presenting business proposals before an investor, or an educator, tasked with presenting ideas – definitely PowerPoint is the first choice.

So, PowerPoint is very popular, they even claim it to be the world’s most widely used slide show software. How’s that? And what do people use it for? Now let’s go into how it works and the many ways it could be helpful to you.

Making Presentations with PowerPoint

Fundamentally, at its core, PowerPoint is a tool for creating slideshows. You can create hundreds of slides, and each slide might contain a combination of various types of content, including:

• Text: To communicate the ideas and present information.
• Images: Make the slide pretty to look at.
• Graphs and Charts: For the clear illustration of information.
• Videos: For an engaging, dynamic story.
• Animations and Transitions: Give it a professional look.

These slides are set up in such a way that you can stand up and present your information step by step without confusion. Another reason PowerPoint is excellent to use is due to its flexibility. You can give your presentation to a small group in a meeting room or to an auditorium filled with full of people based on your presentation need.

What Can I Use PowerPoint For?

1. business presentations.

Apart from the media orientation, business people have been using PowerPoint presentations as a voice of expression in the world of business. These were used for meetings, proposals, and even corporate training. It is very popular among business people as it allows for the clear representation of data through charts and graphs, report showcases, and entertains the audience with visual and animation effects.

2. For learning

Teachers and students have used PowerPoint to explain concepts or even to introduce their projects. Teachers can split complicated ideas into smaller parts with slides that the students can comprehend. Further, adding images and videos to a presentation makes learning interesting.

3. Marketing and Sales

Marketing people can use PowerPoint while launching new products, running campaigns, or even pitching sales. What is presented becomes an attractive, well-structured piece of information that makes presentations powerful enough to blow the minds of the listeners.

4. Events and Workshops

PowerPoint can be used as a guide to help participants through topics. Applying PowerPoint helps the presenter to stay on topic, meanwhile giving visuals to the audience for better clarity of understanding.

5. Pitch Decks for Startups

When pitching to investors, startups often turn to PowerPoint to create pitch decks. These slides sum up the business idea, problem, and growth of startups.

Why Use Premade PowerPoint Templates?

Of course, making your very own presentation from scratch is not too time-consuming an activity unless you know little about design principles. That’s what the premade PowerPoint templates are for. You get established, professional-looking slide layouts with templates. With that, you can just input your own content without being overly particular with minor design details.

Millions of professional PowerPoint templates are available online, from business proposals to academic presentations. You will save time and effort using them, and your presentation will look just right. To learn how to download PowerPoint templates, see our blog on How to Download Templates for PowerPoint .

Tips on How to Create an Appealing PowerPoint Presentation

PowerPoint presentations should not only inform but also captivate your audience. Here are some tips to just get started:

• Limit Text: Use fewer words by putting bullet points and preventing long paragraphs.
• High-Quality Images: The visuals make or break a presentation. Use clear images of high resolution that relate to your topic.
• Engage with Animations: It is good to add some transitions and animations for your slides but not too much.
• Readable Fonts: You can use clear readable fonts like Arial or Calibri, and contrastive colors for the text and backgrounds.

How Do I Begin Using PowerPoint?

PowerPoint is not difficult to use, but if this is your first time using the software, you can download free and paid templates, or simply look through the various design options as a learning curve for figuring out how you can make an attractive presentation with minimal hassle. If you still feel a bit confused about where to begin, you can refer to our PowerPoint Tutorials for step-by-step guidance .

Microsoft PowerPoint is much more than some general slide presentation tools. It is a wonderful versatile platform through which you would be able to make ideas relate to people in the most perfect possible way, from a business pitch to lecturing the class or preparing some school project. The thing is that with good technique and good templates, you would be able to create presentations that are engaging in appearance and inspiring to the audience.

You can even scan through online templates to easily change the looks of your presentations. Whether you are a beginner or a pro, PowerPoint really has something that would surely suit everyone’s taste.
