Terminologies related to MS PowerPoint
• Slide: The individual pages of a presentation form a slide. The slide may be incorporated with
graphics, movies, sound, text, graphs etc to make the viewer understand the topic.
• Placeholder: Dotted rectangular boxes that can contain text, table, chart etc is called a
placeholder.
• Speaker’s notes: It is a set of some explanatory notes that can be prepared in PowerPoint to aid the
presenter during the presentation.

hand-outs.

Views in MS PowerPoint The views in PowerPoint 2010 are present under View Tab.
• Slide sorter view: This view displays the entire set of slides in your presentation in miniature
form. It provides an overall view of your presentation. Using this view, you can rearrange the
order of slides, add and delete slides, preview transitions and animation effects on slides in your
presentation. You can also check for the timings set for the slide using this view.
• Slide show view: A slide show is the sequential display of slides in full screen mode. You can
check how the text, graphics and other elements such as animation of the slide in a presentation
will actually look like, in the slide show.
• Notes page view: This view is available only from the View Tab. The notes added in the notes
pane of the normal view can be seen in the Notes page view. Each notes page displays an image of
a slide, along with the notes related to that slide. You can print the note page to give it to
audience for explanation purposes.
• Master Views: Slide, Notes, Handout: They are the main slides that store information about
the presentation, including background, color, fonts, effects, placeholder sizes and positions. The
key benefit to working in a master view is that on the slide master, notes master, or handout
master, you can make universal style changes to every slide, notes page, or handout associated
with your presentation.

Hyperlink
In Microsoft PowerPoint, a hyperlink is a connection from a slide to another slide, a custom show,
a Web page, or a file. To create hyperlinks, you select the text and choose Insert tab-> choose
Hyperlink option from the Links group.
Watermark
A watermark is a faded background image that displays behind the text in a document. You can use
them to indicate a document’s state (confidential, draft, etc.), add a subtle company logo, or even for
a bit of artistic flair. PowerPoint doesn’t have a built-in watermark feature like Word, but you can
still add them with a text box.
Custom Shows
In PowerPoint, you can use a single presentation for a variety of audiences by creating custom shows
within it. This saves you the effort of duplicating a whole presentation, saving it as a new file, and
modifying it to suit a new audience.
Custom shows are created from slides that you group together within your presentation. You can
group slides into as many different custom shows as you like. You name each custom show, and when
you give the presentation, you select the custom show that you want for a particular audience.
To create Custom show, you use Slide Show->Start Slide Show group->Custom Slide Show.
