Decorating of PowerPoint Presentations with the Graphic Objects

Decorating is a very important stage in the development of PowerPoint presentations see that because, first of all, the data, which is presented in a graphic form, often looks better then in the text form. Secondly, the use of PowerPoint graphics allows to allocate the most important points of presentation or to facilitate the understanding of difficult positions of the report. And in general, as the more effectively the presentation is, the best impression the performance makes on listeners.

In PowerPoint it is possible to draw a graphic object practically of any degree of complexity. The toolbar Drawing is intended for drawing which appears on the screen if the presentation is in a form of slides or in the form of notes. The additional means of drawing take place on the toolbar Drawing +, for display of which it is required to establish the mouse index on any toolbar, then to press the right button of the mouse and in the appeared contextual menu to choose a command Drawing +.

Let's consider the basic devices of drawing and graphics in PowerPoint:

To draw some objects of one type or to execute identical actions with the ready objects, not using the same tool all the time, it is necessary to execute a double click on its button.

If you wish to execute any actions with the created figure, it is necessary to allocate it at first, having executed a click by the mouse.

To allocate object, which is hidden by other objects completely or partly, it is necessary to allocate the object located in the foreground, and then to press a key (Tab) until the necessary object will be allocated.

It is necessary to keep pressed a key (Shift) during drawing for to draw a circle with the tool Ellipse, a square – with the tool Rectangle, and a circle arch – with the tool Arch.

It is necessary to keep during drawing a key (Shift) for the line, which is drawn by the tool Line, should be horizontal or vertical.

To allocate some PowerPoint objects, it is necessary to carry out consistently clicks by the mouse on them, keeping pressed a key (Shift). It is possible to allocate all objects, having pressed a combination of keys (Ctrl+A).

Except drawings, the program PowerPoint following  allows to add also the audio and video clips in the presentations which allow you to keep up to date and put you in one range with the leading manufacturers of multimedia! To get acquainted with these possibilities, the special equipment (expensive videos and audio of a card, the good display and a high-quality acoustic system), and also the audio and video files are necessary. The audio and video data are inserted by means of the menu Insert in the same way, as any fragments from a library of the illustrative inserts.
