MICROSOFT POWERPOINT FOR BUSINESSES

TEMPLATES

Microsoft PowerPoint offers a range of templates that can be used to quickly create professional-looking presentations. These templates are designed to give business owners and employees the tools they need to make their presentations stand out from the competition. Templates are also helpful in keeping all slides consistent in design, colour, font, and format while creating a more polished look.

In addition to the basic design elements, there are also many advanced options available with each template. For example, one template might offer transitions between slides so that your presentation looks more dynamic and engaging. Another template may provide built-in animation effects or video-playing capability so you can add video clips to your presentations easily.

The best part about these templates is that they come pre-loaded with all the formatting and design options you need to make your presentation look great. This eliminates the need for users to manually adjust settings or customise each slide individually. Instead, they can simply choose a template that fits their needs and start creating their slides in no time at all.

Templates also make it easier for business owners and employees to collaborate on presentations quickly and efficiently. If one team member chooses a template, everyone else can easily adopt it as well so that all slides are consistent in style across the board. This ensures that anyone viewing the presentation will have a cohesive experience regardless of who is actually making the presentation.

IMAGES AND VIDEO

Using visuals such as images and videos can make a big difference in your PowerPoint presentations. Images can communicate ideas quickly and effectively, while videos can help to keep an audience engaged. To add an image to your presentation, simply click on the Insert tab and choose Picture from the dropdown menu. You will then be able to select any photos or graphics stored on your computer or online. When it comes to adding video clips, this is just as easy – you could embed YouTube clips if you have access to them, or store clips locally by clicking on the Media option under the Insert tab.

Once they’ve been added, it’s important that you ensure your visuals are correctly positioned on each slide. With PowerPoint’s ‘Arrange’ tools, you can easily move and resize images or videos to make sure they occupy the best positions in your slides. This is particularly useful if you need to fit multiple graphics onto the same slide – for example, when adding a logo, tagline and image of a product.

If used correctly, visuals can add a lot of impact to your presentations, making them more enjoyable for the audience and helping to get your message across more effectively.

TABLES AND CHARTS

Tables and charts are great tools for presenting information in a visual way. Microsoft PowerPoint provides built-in tables, charts, and graphs that allow you to quickly create appealing presentations of data. Using these features can help your audience retain more information than if they were looking at rows of text on a slide. Tables and charts also make it easy to compare different pieces of data and illustrate relationships between them.

You can customise the look of your tables, charts and graphs with colours, fonts, effects, borders, and backgrounds. You can even animate individual cells within a table or chart to emphasize certain points. And if you want to go beyond the standard options offered in PowerPoint’s library of graphics, you can even insert images into your tables and charts to make them truly unique.

Using tables and charts in PowerPoint is an excellent way to organise and display your data in a clear, concise format that can be easily understood by your audience. Whether you’re presenting the results of a survey or illustrating financial data, tables and charts will help you get your message across quickly and effectively.

ANIMATION TOOLS

You can use PowerPoint’s animation tools to help break down complex topics step by step, making them easier to understand for busy executives. There is a large variety of different types of animation features in PowerPoint including entrance, emphasis, exit and motion path animation types.

PowerPoint also features an impressive selection of tools for engaging with audiences. For instance, the presenter view gives presenters the ability to see their slides alongside speaker notes and a timer – making sure they stay on track during their presentation. Additionally, users can make use of the multi-screen feature to display slides on multiple screens or show videos on one screen while displaying notes on another.

Another key advantage of using PowerPoint is the ability to collaborate on projects. With its cloud-based capabilities, users can access and edit presentations from any device with an internet connection. This real-time collaboration feature allows multiple people to work on a single project simultaneously, which helps teams stay productive without having to be in the same room. Plus, with version control and tracking tools, everyone involved can keep track of changes made throughout the process.
