How to Create PowerPoint Presentations

spacer image

PowerPoint is an easy-to-use presentation software package that allows the user to create computer-driven slideshows. In PowerPoint you can put pictures, text, charts and even animation into your "slides."  You can advance slides one by one, just like you would in a traditional slide show, and by connecting your computer to an LCD data projector you can project your presentation just as you would with a slide projector. PowerPoint is part of Microsoft Office and is available for use with both Mac and PC.

Images from the Architecture Images Collection in the Digital Media Repository (DMR) may be used in PowerPoint presentations. For more information on creating PowerPoint presentations using images from the collection see the guides above.

For assistance with creating PowerPoint Presentations and using images from the Architecture Images Collection, contact Cindy Turner, Visual Resources Curator, 765-285-5865.

Technology Training Support Services offers courses in PowerPoint and other applications for Ball State University Faculty and Staff. Consult their website for course schedules and registration information (see Related Links).
