These two views can be selected by clicking the tab at the top of the pane. • The Slides pane is the method of viewing your slide show as miniature slides. • The Outline pane is the method of viewing your slide show as an outline with main points and sub-points bulleted.

Summary • Presentation programs act like an electronic outline used to present information. • Graphics such as clip art, photographs, and motion clips can be added to a presentation to aid in comprehension and add interest. • Sounds can also be added to a presentation to add emphasis. • Presentation programs help the speaker by keeping their thoughts in order and helping him/her to remember the presentation. • Presentation programs help the audience members remember the information presented because they not only hear it, but they also see it. Chapter 1

  13. A presentation is also more interesting when there are visual aids. Each screen in an electronic presentation is called a slide. The Page Up and Page Down buttons move you from slide to slide within a presentation. PowerPoint allows you to print handouts for audience members so they can follow along easily with the presentation. A design theme can be added to a presentation to add a colorful background with coordinating text. Summary (continued) Chapter 1 Spotlight on Presentations 13
