The Slide Show Footer

Our slide show footer has the date, company name, and slide number. But you can change these details.
To view the footer details, click View from the PowerPoint menu bar. From the View menu, click on Header and Footer:

When you click Header and Footer, you'll see the following dialogue box appear:

If you don't want the Date to appear on every slide, uncheck the Date and time box. If you want the UK date format, select English (UK) from the Language dropdown. At the bottom of the dialogue box, you can also uncheck the Slide number box, to remove the slide numbers from the right hand side of each slide. If you don't want any text in the Footer, uncheck the Footer box.
To change the Footer text, simply type it out in the text box. If you don't want the Footer information on the first slide, but you do want it on all the others, uncheck the box that says "Don't show on title slide".
We've made a couple of changes to our Footer:

As you can see, we've decided not to have the date on the slides, and we've left out the slide number, too. We don't want the footer to appear on the first slide, so we've left the final box checked.

Add a Text Box to a PowerPoint 2007

The next thing we'll do is add some text below the image we inserted onto the previous slide. In PowerPoint, you can't just start typing text where you please. It needs to go into a text box. You can then move the text box around the screen, and position your text where you want it.
To add a new text box to your slide, click Insert from the menu bar at the top. From the Insert menu, click Text Box:

When you click on Text Box from the menu, you won't see anything happen. That's because text boxes need to be drawn on to the slide.
So move your mouse pointer over to you slide, just below your image. The pointer will change shape to a slim white arrow:

Hold down you left mouse button. Keep it held down and drag:

When your text box is about the same width as your image, let go of the left mouse button. Your text box will then look like this in PowerPoint 2000:

And this in PowerPoint 2003:

The white line is the cursor, waiting for you to type some text. So go ahead and type the following into your text box:

The Start of the AutoContent Wizard

When you're done, your text box should like this:

The font itself is different from the one we used for the titles. The title font was Arial Narrow; this is Times New Roman. To change the properties of the font, first highlight all of your text. It should turn white:

With the text highlighted, click Format > Font from the menu bar at the top of PowerPoint:

When you click on Font, you'll see the following dialogue box appear:

As you can see, the font is Times New Roman, the font style is Regular, and the Size is 24. Change the font to Arial Narrow, and keep the other two values the same:

You can also change the colour of the font. Click the black arrow on the Colour dropdown list:

Select the light yellow colour, which is the same as the Title colour we have. When you're done, click the OK button at the bottom of the dialogue box.

The text box above looks a little too wide, though. You can resize the text box by holding your left mouse button down on one of the white square (or round) sizing handles. The mouse pointer will change shape:

Keep your left mouse button held down, and then drag to the left to make the text box narrower, or to the right to make it wider

Let go of your left mouse button when you are happy with the size. (You can also make the text box higher. Use the same technique to drag the top-middle white square or circle upwards.)
To move the text box to a new position, hold you mouse pointer over the shaded edges of the text box. Again, the mouse pointer will change shape:

The image above shows the Move pointer. When you see this pointer, hold down your left mouse button. Keep it held down and drag your text box to a new location.
But your Slide 3 should now look like this:

Have a look at your slideshow so far by pressing F5. See if slide 3 looks OK.

To alter the configurations, first you may need to decide on PowerPoint Choices in the office menu. This can screen the PowerPoint possibilities dialog box.

If you want to implement the correct mouse button to maneuver backwards inside of a presentation, clear the test box that says present menu on ideal mouse simply click.

It's also possible to adjust whether the toolbar reveals up throughout the presentation. Crystal clear the test box that claims exhibit popup toolbar if you do not would like to see the choices of previous, pointer, clearly show and up coming buttons at the bottom of the slide exhibit.

Within the innovative class, you may also regulate whether annotations are seen over the slide demonstrate. Uncheck the box that says prompt to maintain ink annotations when exiting. Using this type of box unchecked, all annotations will no longer be seen.

Lastly, you could choose whether or not to tick the box that says conclude with black slide. With out this box ticked, once the slide show ends, it is going to finish with the very last slide. In case you decide on to obtain this box ticked, you will notice a black display screen displaying a notice that the exhibit has ended. Simply click ok any time you have finished generating any modifications to finish adjusting the slide demonstrate configurations.

Adjusting the options in PowerPoint 2007 means that you can watch your shows within the way that you would like to view them. After you have created the many adjustments inside of the innovative group, it is possible to take pleasure in viewing your presentations significantly more.
