<h2> Insert Photos and Graphics </h2> PowerPoint is well suited to the visual presentation of information. Your audience members get a different experience when they view slides summarizing key points instead of, for example, reading a white paper. So, take advantage of this fact by emphasizing images more than text.

Insert Photos and Graphics

PowerPoint is well suited to the visual presentation of information. Your audience members get a different experience when they view slides summarizing key points instead of, for example, reading a white paper. So, take advantage of this fact by emphasizing images more than text.

You can choose from your own photos, illustrations, and graphs, or online images. If you&#39;re not used to thinking this way, try writing text for a slide and then finding an image to tell part or all of the same story. <h2> Add Animations and Transitions </h2> You can also jazz up your presentations using animations.

These fun special effects provide visual interest as audience members digest the information you've just discussed. Animations within a slide (for example, bullet points appearing one by one) help you avoid revealing information before you're ready to discuss it. <h2> Embed Music Narration and Timing </h2> Did you know that you can embed music or play ambient sounds in the background to enhance your message?

You can also add your narration to the presentation to ensure you make all your points or to prepare the presentation for upload to your website or YouTube channel. Finally, you can time the slides so they advance without you having to switch them manually, enabling you to focus on your own part of the presentation. <h2> Choose Printing Options </h2> You can create hard copies of your slides for yourself or your audience.
