Transcript What*s New in PowerPoint 2011

What’s New in
PowerPoint 2011
The New Ribbon
 Organized by Tabs
 Specialized Tabs appear
depending on the object
selected (for example while
a picture is selected, the
Format Picture tab is
shown)
 You can now personalize
your ribbon
The New Template
 The PowerPoint Presentation
Gallery displays templates in a
large format that lets you see
layouts, graphics, and fonts at a
glance. And you’re not limited
to the colors and fonts of the
built-in designs.
 The color and font menus in
the Presentation Gallery
provide an array of choices so
that you can customize and
create a document that reflects
your style.
Sophisticated Slide Layout
 Microsoft PowerPoint for Mac
2011 makes complex slide
layout a breeze.You can place a
text box, shape, or picture
anywhere on the page
intuitively and easily. Want that
text in front of the picture
instead of behind it?
 The new Reorder Objects tool
allows you to move and
reshuffle the order of objects
on your slide simply by
dragging the layers.
Create a multimedia experience
 The Media Browser provides
handy, instant access to your
photos, music, and movies, as
well as images such as shapes,
clip art, and symbols. The
Media Browser integrates with
your Mac.
 It displays photos from your
iPhoto or Photo Booth
libraries, music from your
iTunes playlists, and movies
from iMovie, Photo Booth, and
iTunes.
Transitions and Animations
 PowerPoint for Mac 2011
offers new, dramatic, silky
smooth transitions that will
keep your audience riveted
on you and your
presentation from slide to
slide
 Use animations to jazz up
entrances and exits of text
and images on your slides.
Retouch Your Photos
 You can edit photos directly in
PowerPoint 2011. Click any picture
in your presentation to open the
Format Picture tab on the ribbon,
where you’ll find robust photo
editing tools.
 Enhance and customize graphics by
adjusting exposure or by adding
color.
 Apply special artistic filters, crop to
remove unwanted artifacts, or
remove a background by using the
powerful new background removal
tool.
Organize Slides
 You can group slides that share
related content into sections.
After you’ve inserted sections,
you can move whole groups of
slides by dragging the section.
 Sections also create an easy
way to assign different parts of
a presentation to different
team members.
Perfect Your Presentation
 Presenter view helps make presenting
easier by providing great tools all
together in one place.
 The notes pane displays your slide notes
clearly and helps you to deliver a smooth
narration while presenting slides.
 The clock helps you to begin and end on
time, while the timer shows you the
duration of the presentation.
 And the progress bar keeps you oriented
so that you always know right where you
are in your presentation.
