PowerPoint 2007 Tutorial #1: Secrets of Professional Presentations-P1

[peakdavid]

Because you are using the "Duplicate" command instead of the "Blank" slide command to create a "New Slide"?

hey why is it when i create 1 diapage it automatically create just the same(copy)few subdias????It even copies the letters and words in it????

[MrFartsalot1]

I used this strategy and applied it to PowerPoint 2003 and it looks AMAZING!!! Thank you

@WoRdLiFe14 -->> For PPT 2010, in Edit mode, make sure the video is selected. This opens the Video Tools ribbon. Select the "Playback" tab on far right. Uncheck "Loop until stopped" and "Rewind after Playing" if they are checked.

[peakdavid]

@WoRdLiFe14 -->> What version of PPT are you using? Usually, you can right click on something and get a context menu.

[SiennaErhard]

you're voice is creepy. JS (: but thaaaaaanks! :D

Hey David....is there a tutorial #7 or whichever one starts out animating the text that goes next to the custom bullets? I couldn't find it anywhere. Thank you...and thank you!

[peakdavid]

@quikcollar ---->> Short answer: I don't know. Longer: There is another series that might cover it: "Advanced PowerPoint Part 1: Introduction to Animation." Also, you could describe in a comment here what happens and I could just tell you.

[quikcollar]

I got stuck on this tutorial right outta the gate when you deleted the text boxes with a few keystrokes. When I tried that, it said CLICK HERE TO ADD SLIDE or something and I came right back where I started. My only work-around was just getting a blank theme. Otherwise, so far so good.

[peakdavid]

@quikcollar -- > Thanks for the comment. I should have said how to do that. You have to first select the text box by clicking on one of its borders. Sorry.

[quikcollar]

@peakdavid>>>I did that...it seemed intuitive to highlight the box and delete but, as I said, it just went to a blank screen that said CLICK HERE TO BLAH BLAH BLAH and, when I did, it took me straight back to the 2-box template. I finally just went and picked the blank one, which may be the easiest way for rubes like me to do it. Just hoping that first slide doesn't pop up. Submitting to angel investors ASAP for my gear ...just FYI. THANKS!

Thanks and thank you for the great video!

@lesnmatt Would be a pleasure. I have five new ones too you can find by searching on "Advanced PowerPoint peakdavid" (without the quote marks).

[sowryam]

Hi David, I watched all other related videos on Powerpoint tutorial by other presentors and I should say that your videos are outstanding. Your presentations are well structured and to the point. The tips about Gridlines, etc are really helpful and would be much appreciated by people who use PPTs extensively. Thank You.

[peakdavid]

@sowryam -- Wow. Thanks for the good words, sowryam. Really appreciate them. PowerPoint is the poor man's Flash, heh heh.

[peakdavid]

Thanks for your feedback. MsMisha, I know what you mean and agree.

[fhetherton]

I think it is fine.

[MsMisha81]

Just my opinion, it was a little difficult to follow along with your presentation. Not only do you go along pretty quickly, but you don't exactly explain what you're doing and how you're doing it. For beginners, like me, it's a little frustrating to try to figure out.
