Question

How do I add a diagram in PowerPoint?

Community Answer

It depends on the kind of diagram. If it's saved as an image (a jpg, or png), you can import it like a picture. If it's something more complicated, PowerPoint may not have the functionality to support it.

Question

How do I make a power point interesting to a young audience?

Community Answer

Use animation if you can. Do research on current trends with the youth and use these to make your presentation more interesting. Pop culture references are great for this, relate your presentation to TV shows, movies, popular books, etc.

Question

How do I get my presentation on a flash drive?

Community Answer

Have your flash drive inserted into your computer first. From there, the easiest way is to open the PowerPoint presentation and click on the File button located at the top left of the window. Then, select "Save As." A location window will pop up. On the left side, find your flash drive. (Usually it's the name located at the bottom.) Select your drive and save the file.

Question

I am doing photos for slide shows and want to place a footer under each picture. This footer should appear with the same size font and color. How so I make a master slide that will do this?

Community Answer

Open the View menu, select Slide Master, then create a text box on the master slide or the specific slide templates where you want a footer. This is where you set the text properties so it's consistent throughout your presentation. Select Close Master View to return to the presentation.
