Few Basic Tools to a Presentation

Zoom in or out of a slide

Use the zooming tool as a magnifying glass for your presentation. Enlarge or shrink your slide to view minute details or get a view of the overall composition. With the zooming scale, you can view what your zoom percentage is as you expand and contract the slide content.

 

To zoom in or out,
Click the Zoom Slider , located in the bottom bar, then do one of the following:

• Drag the slider to the right to increase the zoom percentage and view a larger version of the slide.
  
• Drag the slider to the left to decrease the zoom percentage and view a smaller version of the slide.
  

You can zoom in on any part of the slide during the Slideshow View.

Fit to screen

While delivering a presentation on a big screen, such as a projector or television, you may notice that the slide has been resized or moved out of the display screen area, making your slide look distorted in front of your audience. Use the Fit to Screen option to resize your slide properly with the display screen so that the entire slide is visible.

 

To fit to screen, click the Fit To Screen  icon in the bottom bar.

Format painter

Copying and pasting can be a great way to simplify tasks that might otherwise be time-consuming and tedious. For example, you might want the title of every chapter to use the same font style, color, and size. In this situation, trying to remember and apply all of the formatting style for each slide would be difficult. The format painter tool is a great method for copying the formatting effects of one object and applying it to another with a single click. Use the format painter to copy formats between shapes and pictures, as well as been different sections of text.

 

To use format painter,
1. Select the text or object that has the formatting you want to copy.  

2. Click on the Format Painter  in the top bar and select the object for which you want to the apply formatting. If you wish to apply the format to multiple objects on the slide, you can click and drag the brush over your selections. The formatting effects will be applied to the new object(s). 

View document properties

Document properties contains additional information, or metadata, used to describe and provide details about a presentation. This data can help your organize and search for presentations.

The document property window contains:

• Standard properties which include the basic properties such as author, title, and the date when a presentation was first created. The standard properties are mostly considered to be static and are useful to search for files based on the "Created On." 
  
  
• Dynamic properties which include the date when the presentation was last modified/updated and the name of the person who modified it. The dynamic properties gets automatically updated as and when changes are made. This also indicates the "published status" associated with your presentation to indicate whether the presentation is specific to your organization or its public on the web.
  

To view and edit document properties,

Go to File menu located in the top-left corner of top bar and select Properties from the dropdown list. The property window displays the author, title, meta-description, and other relevant details about the presentation. As an owner, you can write and modify the description within the text box.
