What are the different ways of creating a powerpoint presentation? Explain. How?

1. Select or create your own theme.

Themes are the evolution of design templates in PowerPoint, but they're also much more than that. The themes
features was introduced in Microsoft Office 2007 to help you easily create the right look for your presentations and
to coordinate all of your Microsoft Office documents almost instantly.

A theme is a coordinated set of fonts, colors, and graphic effects that you can apply to your entire document with
just a click. The same themes are available for your Microsoft PowerPoint presentations, Microsoft Word
documents, Microsoft Excel workbooks, and even your Microsoft Outlook email messages (and in Office 2010,
your Microsoft Access database forms and reports), so it's easy to create your own personal or business branding
throughout all of your documents.

In PowerPoint, the theme also includes the slide master and slide layouts, which you will learn more about later in
this article, and slide background options.

When you apply a theme in your presentation, you automatically get slide layouts, color, fonts, and graphic effects
that go together, and you can format content with just a few clicks, as you'll see later in this article.

 Find many built-in themes in the Themes gallery on the Design tab, in the Themes group. Just point to
options to preview that theme in your documents. In Office 2010, you also see a selection of themes in this
gallery that are automatically updated periodically from Office.com.

 You can also mix and match a slide design with different theme colors, fonts, and effects to quickly create
your own look. Select separate theme color, theme font, and theme effect sets from their respective
galleries on the Design tab:

2. Use video and audio to convey your message more effectively.

Dynamic content, such as a brief video that illustrates an important point, is a great way to engage your audience.
Using audio that helps convey your message can also help you keep your slides clean and approachable, such as by
adding recorded narration to slides when sending your presentation to others to view on their own.

In PowerPoint 2010, video you insert from your files is now embedded by default, so you don't have to include
multiple files when sharing your presentation electronically. You can also customize your embedded videos with
easy-to-use tools such as video trim, fades, and effects. And with PowerPoint 2010, you can insert a video that
you've uploaded to a web site to play directly in your presentation.

3. Use graphics to emphasize key points

A well-chosen chart or diagram can often convey much more to your audience than boring bulleted text.
Fortunately, creating charts and graphics has never been easier. In Office 2010 and Office 2007, Office graphics
coordinate automatically with the active theme in your presentation.
4. Use animations and transitions wisely.

Having text and graphics appear on-screen just when you need them can be a nice touch. However, using too much
animation can distract from your presentation's content.

For effects that emphasize your points without overwhelming your audience, limit animation to key points, and use
consistent animation choices throughout the presentation.

Customize, preview, and apply animations directly from the Animations tab in PowerPoint 2010. In PowerPoint
2007, find the Custom Animation pane on the Animations tab.

Consistent or complementary choices in slide transitions can also provide a professional touch without being
distracting.

Customize, preview, and apply transitions from the Transitions tab in PowerPoint 2010 or the Animations tab in
PowerPoint 2007.

5. Start by outlining your presentation.

Take time to outline your presentation before you begin to create your slides. Doing so can save time and help you
give a more clear and effective presentation.

You can create your outline by typing a slide title and bullets points for your main topics on each slide. But you can
also use the Outline pane to type your entire presentation outline in one window and add slides to your presentation
as you go. To do this:

1. In the Slides pane that appears on the left of your PowerPoint screen in Normal view, click the Outline tab.
(If you don't see the Slides pane, on the View tab, click Normal.)

2. Notice that a slide number and icon appears for your first slide. Type a title for the slide and then press
ENTER to create your next slide.

3. Press TAB to demote the text level and add points to the current slide in your outline. Or press
SHIFT+TAB to promote the text level and add an additional slide.

6. Use masters and layouts to save time and get better results.

The slide master is one of the most important tools in PowerPoint for creating easy-to-use, great-looking
presentations. The master gives you a central place to add content and formatting that you want to appear on all (or
most) of your slides. Formatting and layout that you do on the slide master automatically updates throughout the
slide layouts in your presentation, saving you a tremendous amount of time and effort, and helping to keep your
slides consistent. For example, place your logo on the slide master, and it will appear on all slides in the
presentation.

7. Consider differences between print and on-screen presentations.

Presentations designed to be viewed on screen don't always work well when you print them. Dark backgrounds that
look good on slides, for example, rarely print well. Similarly, footer content that you need in print is likely to be
distracting on-screen. Fortunately, PowerPoint makes it easy to switch between print and screen presentation
options.
8. Use notes pages and handouts to help deliver the story.

Use the Notes pane that appears below the slide in Normal view to write notes to yourself for your presentation or to
create notes that you can print for your viewers instead of crowding your slides with too much text. You can also
format and print handouts that contain up to nine slides per page.

9. Keep file size manageable.

A common cause of stress when you work in PowerPoint is that the file becomes too large to edit or for the
presentation to run smoothly. Fortunately, this problem is easy to avoid by compressing the media in your files and
using native PowerPoint features whenever possible (such as tables, charts, SmartArt graphics, and shapes) instead
of importing and embedding objects from other programs.

10. Use the tools available to get it right the first time.

You've already seen in this article that you can use features like slide layouts to quickly create consistent slides. Or
use tools such as SmartArt graphics to create a professional-quality graphic in no-time. But when you need to do
your own thing—and that thing doesn't belong on a slide layout or fit an available graphic style—PowerPoint still
provides tools to save you time and improve your results.

11. Turn off (or manage) AutoCorrect layout options.

PowerPoint provides several automatic formatting options to help your slides conform to the provided layouts. They
can be big time-savers, but they can also be frustrating if you're not using them intentionally and they cause
formatting (such as the font size in slide titles) to become inconsistent from one slide to the next. If you don't want
your text to shrink automatically to fit content, you can easily disable those features in the AutoCorrect Options
dialog box.

12. Know exactly what your viewers will see.

When you want to be sure that what you send is what viewers see, you can save the presentation in the PowerPoint
slide show format, so that the show starts for the recipients as soon as they open the file. But, some variables, such
as whether media will play correctly on the recipient's computer, may still affect what viewers see.

What is MS Publisher?

Microsoft Publisher, officially Microsoft Office Publisher, is a desktop publishing application from Microsoft. It is
an entry-level application, differing from Microsoft Word in that the emphasis is placed on page layout and design
rather than text composition and proofing .

Microsoft Publisher is a major step up from consumer creative printing programs. For Windows users, it fills the
void between price and pro features. The Microsoft Office Publisher incarnation has moved it more into competition
with Adobe PageMaker for the enterprise/small business market and away from the individual consumer.
What are the basic editing tools in MS Publisher?

 Start Microsoft Publisher 2007 and open the document that contains text you want to edit in Microsoft Word
2007.
 Choose the "Select Objects" tool from the Standard toolbar in Publisher 2007. It's the top button in the toolbar
represented with a white mouse cursor.
 Click to select the text box from the document you want to edit in Word. The text box will be surrounded by
white sizing handles indicating that it is selected.
 Select the "Edit" menu from the top of the Publisher screen and click on "Select All." All the text in the selected
text box will be selected.
 Choose the "Edit" menu and click "Edit Story in Microsoft Word." Microsoft Word 2007 will open with a new
document that contains the text from the text box you selected in Publisher.
 Edit the text as needed in Word.
 Choose the "Office" button from the top left corner of Microsoft Word when you are finished editing. Choose
"Close and Return to (the name of your Publisher document)" from the Office button window. Microsoft Word
will close and you will return to your Publisher document with the newly edited text in the text box. There's no
need to save the changes in Microsoft Word.

Explain how to create a free web site thru MS Publisher.

 Start Microsoft Publisher. If the New Publications wizard doesn't start, select New from the File menu and
choose Publications by Wizard.
 Scroll down to the Web Sites category. Choose a style from the examples at right and click Start Wizard.
 Follow the steps in the wizard, choosing the color scheme, layout, forms, sounds and other Web page
components. Click Finish to complete the wizard.
 Enter text in the text frame areas or create new text frames using the toolbar. Add clip art and other components
as desired.
 Select Web Properties from the File menu to create the title of the page and other information, such as
keywords.
 Use the Website Preview command from the File menu to view the page before saving. This command will start
the default Web browser and show the page.
 Select Save As HTML from the File menu when you're done.
What is the importance of using footnotes and endnotes in documents?

If you want to put something at the top of your page such as a heading on every page then you can use those insted
of typing your name all the time.

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_importance_of_using_footnotes_and_endnotes_in_documents

Footnotes and end notes are used to comment on or cite a reference to a designated part of the text of a paper. Every
footnote or endnote includes a reference in the document text as wells the footnote or the endnote itself. This
reference is usually a number, but it can also be a letter or any other symbol. Okay, now that we got that out of the
way....the only difference between footnotes and endnotes is that the footnotes appear on the same page as the
referenced material while the endnotes appear at the end of a section of the document or the end of the document
itself.

http://www.ask.com/questions-about/Difference-between-Footnotes-and-Endnotes

What are footnotes/endnotes?

Footnotes and endnotes are the "old-fashioned" way of citing sources.  On college campuses, they are popular in
history departments.  Rather than include an author's last name and date of publication at the end of a sentence, the
end of a sentence (or longer segment of information) has a number slightly raised from the line of the text.  The
information on this numbered source is located at the bottom of each page (footnotes) or at the end of the essay,
chapter, or book (endnotes). 
Historians tend to prefer footnotes/endnotes because they allow an author to "go off on a tangent" without
interrupting the flow of the text.  For example, a historian is writing a paper on Martin Luther and the Protestant
Reformation, and is brimming with anecdotal information on Pope Leo X.  However, although the Leo material
might be very interesting to readers, it does not belong in the main body of the paper.  Therefore, the writer includes
this information in footnotes/endnotes, perhaps even using the footnote/endnote to list and describe great books and
articles for further reading on Leo.  In this way, footnotes and endnotes can be rather casual in tone.
It is because footnotes can become so long and involved that they sometimes take up half of a printed page.  This is
why organizations such as the MLA and APA created their own citation formats.  Good sources of information on
"old-fashioned" citations are the New York Public Library Writer's Guide to Style and Usage and the Chicago
Manual of Style.

What's the deal with plagiarism?

Plagiarism is taking someone else's work and passing it off as your own (whether you mean to or not).  When you're
writing a paper for school, odds are that the vast majority of factual content for your paper was not sitting in your
head.  You had to read some books, surf some websites, take some notes, and then had to sit down and stitch this
information into an essay. 
Although it may feel like you've done a lot of work, your work is nothing compared to the work of the writers whose
books you've read.  You are using these writers' hard work and ideas to create your own essay, and it is important to
give them credit.  On college campuses, giving these writers credit is so important that failing to do so can lead to
expulsion.  Ouch!

What exactly is Endnote/Footnote?

"Footnotes and endnotes are used to comment on or cite a reference to a designated part of the text of a paper. Every
footnote or endnote includes a reference in the document text as wells the footnote or the endnote itself. This
reference is usually a number, but it can also be a letter or any other symbol. The only difference between footnotes
and endnotes is that the former appear on the same page as the referenced material while the latter appear at the end
of a section of the document or the end of the document itself."

What is the difference between footnotes, endnotes and workd cited?

Footnotes and endnotes are the same thing except that they're in different places--one at the bottoms of the pages
and the other on a separate page (or pages) at the end. It's pretty usual these days for a research paper to have
neither, since documentation of sources is done in parentheses in the body of the paper. Notes woud be used only to
provide additional information that dosn't quite fit in the body.

"Works Cited" is just that--a list, alphabetical by authors' last names, of the books, articles, etc., used and referred to
in the paper. It goes at the very end, after the note page if there is one.
