Question

Basic
components of slides in PowerPoint

Answer 1

Answer:

User Interface

The most visible element of PowerPoint is its user interface—the screens, dialog boxes, buttons, panes, and other parts of the application window. The biggest part of the interface is the pane for creating and editing slides. The toolbar, called the Ribbon, is another big chunk of the application window.

Slides

The slide is the PowerPoint element on which you insert text, graphics, audio, video, and animations. You can create new slides by pressing “Ctrl-M” or by clicking “New Slide” on the Home tab. Delete slides by selecting them in PowerPoint‘s left pane and then pressing the “Delete” key. Arrange slides by dragging them in the slide thumbnail pane. Change slide dimensions by clicking the "Page Setup” button on the Design tab.

Content

PowerPoint's content types include static text and graphics, audio, video, and animation created inside PowerPoint itself. Most of the commands for creating content are on the Insert tab. For example, the Media Clips group has a "Movie" option for importing videos. Use the Animation tab for creating new animations, such as entrance and exit effects on a slide's graphics and text.

Formatting

Formatting commands are the PowerPoint element with which you decorate the content on your slides. The Home tab, for example, has many of the same formatting commands as Microsoft Word, including character-level tools such as "Bold," and paragraph-level tools that include "Align Text Left." Another tab, "Design," has a group of commands called Themes that let you apply font and color changes to all of the slides in your presentation at once.
