1. Getting Started with PowerPoint
7
PowerPoint 2010
PowerPoint 2010 is a presentation software in the Microsoft 2010 Office Suite. It allows you to create
amazing slide presentations that can integrate images, video, narration, charts and more
6
1-1 Getting to know PowerPoint 2010
If you are familiar with PowerPoint 2007, then you will notice that there are not too many changes to
the 2010 interface other than the Backstage View, which we will cover later in this lesson.
However, if you are new to PowerPoint, you will first need to take some time to learn about slides and
how to navigate through PowerPoint.
How to navigate PowerPoint to create a slide presentation
1-2 Working with your PowerPoint environment
The Ribbon and Quick Access Toolbar are where you will find the commands you need to
perform common tasks in PowerPoint. If you are familiar with PowerPoint 2007, you will
find that the main difference in the PowerPoint 2010 Ribbon is that commands such as Open
and Print are now housed in Backstage view.
①
② ③
④
PowerPoint uses slides to build a presentation. In order to create an engaging presentation,
PowerPoint allows you to add text, bulleted lists, images, charts, video, and more to your slides. You
can add as many slides as you'd like to a presentation, and at any time you can view or play back your
presentation by selecting one of the Slide Show play options.
⑤
⑥
1. Quick Access Toolbar
The Quick Access Toolbar lets you access
common commands no matter which tab you
are on in the Ribbon. By default, it shows the
Save, Undo, and Repeat commands. You can
add other commands to make it more
convenient for you.
2. Slides Tab
The Slides tab allows you
to view and work with the
slides in your presentation.
You can add, delete,
duplicate, and rearrange
slides in the Slides tab. You
can also add sections to the
Slides tab to organize and
divide your slides.
3. Outline Tab
The Outline tab
conveniently displays
the text content of each
slide. You can edit your
text directly from the
outline view.
4. Ribbon
The Ribbon contains all of the commands
you will need in order to do common
tasks. It has multiple tabs, each with
several groups of commands, and you
can add your own tabs to customize your
favorites.
In addition, special "tools" tabs will
appear when you are formatting certain
items like images or tables.
5. Scroll bar
You can also navigate through
your slide show by clicking and
dragging the scroll bar or by
selecting the Previous Slide and
Next Slide arrows.
6. Zoom Control
Click and drag the slider to use the Zoom
control. The number to the left of the
slider bar reflects the zoom percentage.
You can also choose the "Fit slide to
current window" button.
7. Slide Views
Adjust your slide view by choosing one of the following:
• Normal view is selected by default, and shows the Slide and
Outline tabs along with displaying the current slide.
• Slide Sorter view displays smaller versions of all of the slides in
the presentation.
• Reading view displays only the slides with buttons at the bottom
of the screen for navigation.
• Slide Show will play your slides as an actual presentation.
⑦
1-3 The Ribbon
The Ribbon contains multiple tabs, each with several groups of commands. Some tabs, like
"Drawing Tools" or "Table Tools", may appear only when you are working with certain items
To customize the Ribbon:
You can customize the Ribbon by creating your own tabs that house your desired
commands. Commands are always housed within a group, and you can create as many
groups as you need to keep your tabs organized. In addition, you can even add commands
to any of the default tabs, as long as you create a custom group within the tab.
like images or tables. In addition,
you can add your own customized
tabs that contain your favorite
commands.
1. Right-click the Ribbon, and select Customize
the Ribbon. A dialog box will appear.
2. Click New Tab. A new tab will be created
with a new group inside it.
3. Make sure the new group is selected.
4. Select a command from the list on the left,
then click Add. You can also drag commands
directly into a group.
5. When you are done adding commands,
click OK.

9
To add green guides:
1. Click either the horizontal or vertical ruler.
1-6 Creating and opening presentations
PowerPoint files are called presentations. Whenever you start a new project in PowerPoint, you'll
need to create a new presentation. You'll also need to know how to open an existing presentation.
8
To convert a presentation:
If you want access to all PowerPoint 2010 features, you can convert the presentation to the
2010 file format..
In order to exit Compatibility mode, you'll need to convert the presentation to the current
version type. However, if you're collaborating with others who only have access to an earlier
version of PowerPoint, it's best to leave the presentation in Compatibility mode so the format
will not change.
The Ribbon is designed to be easy to use and responsive to your current task, but if you find it is
taking up too much of your screen space you can minimize it.
2. To maximize the Ribbon, click the arrow again.
1-4 The Quick Access Toolbar
The Quick Access Toolbar is located above the Ribbon, and it lets
you access common commands no matter which tab you are on.
By default, it shows the Save, Undo, and Repeat commands. You
can add other commands to make it more convenient for you.
To add commands to the Quick Access Toolbar:
1. Click the drop-down arrow to the right of the Quick Access Toolbar
2. Select the command you wish to add from the drop-down menu.
To choose from more commands, select More Commands.
1-5 Backstage view
Backstage view gives you various options for saving, opening a
file, printing, or sharing your document. It is similar to the
Office Button Menu from PowerPoint 2007 or the File Menu
from earlier versions of PowerPoint. However, instead of just a
menu it is a full-page view, which makes it easier to work with.
To get to Backstage view:
1. Click the File tab.
2. You can choose an option on the left side of the page.
3. To get back to your document, just click any tab on the
Ribbon.
To create a new, blank presentation:
1. Click the File tab. This takes you to Backstage view.
2. Select New.
3. Select Blank presentation under Available Templates
and Themes. It will be highlighted by default.
4. Click Create. A new, blank presentation appears in the
PowerPoint window.
To open an existing presentation:
1. Click the File tab. This takes you to
Backstage view.
2. Select Open. The Open dialog box
appears.
3. Select your desired presentation,
then click Open.
1-7 Compatibility mode
Sometimes you may need to work with presentations that were created in earlier versions of
Microsoft PowerPoint, such as PowerPoint 2003 or PowerPoint 2000. When you open these
kinds of presentations, they will appear in Compatibility mode.
Compatibility mode disables certain features, so you'll only be able to access commands
found in the program that was used to create the presentation. For example, if you open a
presentation created in PowerPoint 2003, you can only use tabs and commands found in
PowerPoint 2003.
! Note that converting a file may cause some changes to the original layout of the presentation.!
1. Click the File tab to access Backstage view.
2. Locate and select the Convert command.
3. The Save As dialog box will appear.
Select the location where you wish to save
the workbook, enter a file name for the
presentation, and click Save.
4. The presentation will be converted to
the newest file type.
In the image below, the workbook
has opened in Compatibility mode.
Many of the newer slide transitions
have been disabled, and only the
2003 transitions are available.

2. Slide Basics
2-1 Slide basics
Every PowerPoint presentation is composed of a series of slides. To begin creating a slide show, you'll
need to know the basics of working with slides. You'll need to feel comfortable with tasks such
as inserting a new slide, changing the layout of a slide, arranging existing slides, changing slide view,
and adding notes to a slide.
About slides
Slides contain placeholders, which are areas on the slide
that are enclosed by dotted borders. Placeholders can
contain many different items, including text, pictures, and
charts. Some placeholders have placeholder text, or text
that you can replace. They also have thumbnail-sized
icons that represent specific commands such as Insert
Picture, Insert Chart, and Insert ClipArt. In PowerPoint,
hover over each icon to see the type of content you can
insert in a placeholder.
・ Select Blank from the menu of layout options.
11
About slide layouts
Placeholders are arranged in different layouts that can be applied to
existing slides, or chosen when you insert a new slide. A slide layout
arranges your content using different types of placeholders,
depending on what kind of information you might want to include in
your presentation.
In the example above, the layout is called Title and Content and
includes title and content placeholders. While each layout has a
descriptive name, you can also tell from the image of the layout how
the placeholders will be arranged.
2-2 Customizing slide layouts
To change the layout of an existing slide:
1. Select the slide you wish to change.
2. Click the Layout command in the Slides group on the Home tab. A menu will appear with your
options.
3. Choose a layout from the menu. The slide will change in the presentation.
To delete a placeholder:
You can easily customize your layout by deleting unwanted or "extra" placeholders from any
slide.
1. Position your mouse on the dotted border of
the placeholder so it changes to a cross with
arrows .
2. Click the border to select it.
3. Press Backspace or Delete on your keyboard.
The placeholder will be removed from the slide.
To add a text box:
Text boxes allow you to add to your current layout, so you can place text wherever you want
on your slide.
1. From the Insert tab, click the Text Box command.
2. Your cursor will turn into an upside-down cross .
3. Click, hold, and drag your mouse to draw a text box.
A text box will appear.
To use a blank slide:
For more control over your content, you may prefer a
blank slide (a slide without placeholders) over one of the
existing layouts. Blank slides can be customized by adding
your own text boxes, pictures, charts, and more.
2-3 Working with slides
To insert a new slide:
1. From the Home tab, click the bottom half of the New Slide command to open the menu
of slide layout options.
2. Select the slide you want to insert.
3. A new slide will be added your presentation.

2-4 Managing slides and presentations
As you add slides to your presentation, PowerPoint offers a variety of views and tools to help you
organize and prepare your slide show.
About slide views
It is important that you be able to access the different slide
views and use them for various tasks. The slide view
commands are located on the bottom right of the
PowerPoint window in Normal View.
・ Normal View
This is the default view where you create
and edit your slides. You can also move
slides in the Slides tab in the pane on the
left.
1312
To copy and paste a slide:
1. On the Slides tab in the left pane, select the slide you wish to copy.
2. Click the Copy command on the Home tab. You can also right-click your selection and choose Copy.
3. In the left pane, click just below a slide (or between two slides) to choose the location where you
want the copy to appear. A horizontal insertion point will mark the location.
4. Click the Paste command on the Home tab. You can also right-click and choose Paste. The copied
slide will appear.
To duplicate a slide:
An alternative to Copy and Paste, Duplicate copies the selected slide
and, in one step, pastes it directly underneath. This feature does not
allow you to choose the location of the copied slide (nor does it offer
Paste Options for advanced users), so it is more convenient for quickly
inserting similar slides.
1. Select the slide you wish to duplicate.
2. Click the New Slide command.
3. Choose Duplicate Selected Slides from
the drop-down menu.
4. A copy of the selected slide appears
underneath the original.
To delete a slide:
1. Select the slide you wish to delete.
2. Press the Delete or Backspace key on your keyboard.
To move a slide:
1. Select the slide you wish to move.
2. Click, hold, and drag your mouse to a new location. A horizontal insertion
point will mark the location.
3. Release the mouse button. The slide will appear in the new location.
・ Slide Sorter View
In this view, miniature slides are arranged
on the screen. You can drag and drop slides
to easily reorder them and to see more
slides at one time. This is a good view to
use to confirm that you have all the needed
slides and that none have been deleted.
・ Reading View
This view fills most of the computer screen
with a preview of your presentation. Unlike
Slide Show View, it includes easily
accessible buttons for navigation, located at
the bottom-right.
・ Slide Show View
This view completely fills the computer
screen and is what the audience will see
when they view the presentation. Slide Show
View has an additional menu that appears
when you hover over it, allowing you to
navigate through the slides and access other
features you can use during a presentation.
To view an outline of your presentation:
The Outline tab shows your slide text in outline form. This allows you to quickly edit your
slide text and view the contents of multiple slides at once.
1. Click the Outline tab in the left pane.
2. An outline of your slide text appears.
3. Type directly in the pane to make changes to your text.

3-1 Text basics
If you're new to Microsoft PowerPoint, you'll need to learn the basics of working with text so
you can add and arrange text on your slides. You'll need to know how to insert, delete, move,
and format text, as well as how to use text boxes.
3. Text Basics
To insert text:
1. Click the placeholder or text box
where you want to insert text.
2. The insertion point appears.

14 15
To organize slides into sections:
You can organize your slides into sections to make your presentation easier to navigate. Sections can
be collapsed or expanded in the left pane and named for easy reference. In this example, we will add
two sections: one for dogs that are available for adoption, and another for cats and other pets.
1. Select the slide you want to begin your first section.
2. From the Home tab, click the Section command.
3. Choose Add Section from the drop-down menu.

5. To rename the section while it is still selected, click the Section
command, and choose Rename Section from the drop-down menu.
6. Enter your new section name in the dialog box. Then click Rename.
7. Repeat to add as many sections as you need.
8. In the left pane, click the arrow next to a section name to collapse or
expand it.
2-5 Adding notes to slides
PowerPoint gives you the ability to add notes to your slides, often called speaker notes, to help you
deliver or prepare for your presentation. You can enter and view your speaker notes using the Notes
pane or the Notes Page View.
To use the Notes pane:
1. Locate the Notes pane at the bottom of
the screen, directly below the Slide pane.
2. Click and drag the edge of the pane to
make it larger or smaller, if desired.
To use the Notes Page View:
1. Go to the View tab.
2. Click the Notes Page command in the
Presentation Views group.
3. Type your notes in the Notes pane.
3. Type your notes in the text box, or use
the scroll bar to review your slides.

3-2 Working with text
As you create your presentation, you can add text boxes to help organize your slides. You'll also need to know how
to format text to create the look you need.
To drag and drop text:
1. Select the text you wish to copy.
2. Click, hold, and drag your mouse to the location where you
want the text to appear. The cursor will have a rectangle
underneath it to indicate that you are moving text.
3. Release the mouse button, and the text will appear.
To add a text box:
Text can be inserted into both placeholders and
text boxes. A placeholder is a kind of text box, but
is unique because it is part of the slide layout and
often contains formatting specific to the slide (for
example, a larger font size for the title of your
presentation). Inserting an extra text box allows
you to add to the slide layout, so you can include
as much text as you want.
1. From the Insert tab, click the Text Box command.
To resize a placeholder or text box:
1. Click the box you wish to resize.
2. Position your mouse over any one of the
sizing handles that appear on the corners
and sides of the box. The cursor will become
a pair of arrows.
3-3 Formatting text
You can help your text stand out on the slide by changing its formatting, including font size,
color, style, and more.
16 17
Find and Replace
Find and Replace is another technique that can be used to edit text. Find and Replace allows you to
search all of your slides for a specific word or phrase (for example, "English"), then replace it with
another word or phrase (for example, "British"). To learn more, visit the lesson in our Word 2010
tutorial that demonstrates Find and Replace.
To move a placeholder or text box:
1. Click the box you would like to move.
2. Position your mouse on the border of the
box so it changes to a cross with arrows .
2. Your cursor will turn into an upside-down
cross .

to add a text box. A text box will appear with
an insertion point inside.
3. Click and hold the mouse button as you
drag the box to the desired location.
4. Release the mouse button. The box will be
moved.

4-1 Themes
A theme is a set of colors, fonts, effects, and more that can be applied to your entire
presentation to give it a consistent, professional look. You've already been using a theme,
even if you didn't know it: the default Office theme, which consists of a white background,
the Calibri font, and primarily black text. Themes can be applied or changed at any time.
4. Applying a Theme
Theme elements
Every PowerPoint theme, including the default Office theme, has its own theme elements.
These elements are:
・ Theme Colors
(available from every Color
menu)
・ Theme Fonts
(available from the Font
menu)
・ Shape Styles
(available in the Format tab
when you click on a shape)
Why use theme elements?
If you're using theme elements, you'll probably find that your presentation looks pretty good.
All of the colors will work well together, which means you won't have to spend as much time
formatting your presentation. But there's another great reason to use theme elements: When
you switch to a different theme, all of those elements will update to reflect the new theme.
You can drastically change the look of your presentation in just a few clicks.
Remember, the colors and fonts will only update if you're using Theme Fonts or Theme
Colors. If you choose one of the Standard Colors or any of the Fonts that are not Theme
Fonts, then your text will not change when you change the theme. This can be useful if you're
creating a logo or title that always needs to look the same, like in the sample below.

3. Click the drop-down arrow to access more
themes.
To apply a theme:
1. Go to the Design tab.
2. Locate the Themes group. Each image
represents a theme.
4-2 Applying themes
You will need to know how to apply a theme and how to switch to a different theme if you want to
use this feature to create presentations. All of the themes included in PowerPoint are located in the
Themes group on the Design tab. Themes can be applied or changed at any time.
4. Hover over a theme to see a live preview of
it in the presentation. The name of the theme
will appear as you hover over it.
2120
Themes and slide layouts
As you can see from the two different Title Slides above, themes also affect the various slide layouts.
5. Click a theme to apply it to the slides.
To insert an image from a file:
1. Select the Insert tab.
2. Click the Picture command in the Images group. The Insert Picture dialog box appears.
3. Select the desired image file, then click Insert.
4. The picture will appear in your slide.
5-1 Working with images
Adding clip art and pictures to your presentation can be a great way to illustrate important
information or add decorative accents to existing text. You can insert images from your
computer, search Microsoft's large selection of clip art to find the image you need, or add a
screenshot of your own. Once an image has been inserted, you can resize and move it to the
location you want.
5. Inserting Images
To locate clip art:
2. Click the Clip Art command in the Images group.
3. The clip art options appear in the task pane to the right of the document.
4. Enter keywords in the Search for: field that are related to the image you wish to insert.

screen. They may include an open window of a website, items on your desktop, or an open program,
like the PowerPoint images displayed in this tutorial. These images can be useful for explaining or
displaying computer programs, functions, and websites. PowerPoint allows you to capture an image of
an entire window or a screen clipping of part of a window.
6-1 Applying transitions
If you've ever seen a PowerPoint presentation that had "special effects" between each slide,
then you've seen slide transitions. A transition can be as simple as fading to the next slide or
as complex as a flashy, eye-catching effect. This means you can choose transitions to fit the
style of any presentation.
6. Applying Transitions

About transitions
There are three categories of unique transitions to choose from, all of which can be found on
the Transitions tab:
・ Subtle (slight transitions) ・ Exciting (strong transitions)
・ Dynamic Content (strong transitions that affect only the content, such as text or images)
! When working with transitions, the Apply To All command in the Timing group can be used at any
time to make your presentation uniform. Use this command with caution. Not only does it apply the
same transition to every slide, but it also applies the settings in the Timing group, which you may not
want to be the same throughout your presentation.!
To preview a transition:
You can preview the transition for a selected slide at any time, using either of these two
methods:
Click the Preview command on
the Transitions tab.
Click the star Play Animations icon.・
The icon appears
on the Slides tab
in the left pane
beside any slide

6-3 Advancing slides
To advance slides automatically:
Normally, in Slide Show View, you would advance to the next slide by clicking your mouse (or
pressing Enter on your keyboard). Using the Advance Slides settings in the Timing group, you can
set your presentation to advance on its own instead, and display each slide for a specific amount of
time. This is useful for unattended presentations, such as at a tradeshow booth.
2. Locate the Timing group on the Transitions tab.
3. Under Advance Slide, uncheck the box next to On Mouse
Click.
4. In the After field, enter the amount of time you want to
display the slide. In this example, we will advance the slide
automatically after 1 minute 30 seconds, or 01:30:00.
5. Select another slide and repeat the process until all the
desired slides have the appropriate timing.
To remove a transition:
2. Choose None from the gallery in the Transition to This Slide group.
3. Repeat this process for each slide you want to modify.
7-1 Checking spelling
To make your slide show appear professional, you'll want to make sure it is free from spelling
errors. PowerPoint has several options for checking your spelling. You can run a spell check,
or you can allow PowerPoint to check your spelling automatically as you type.
7. Checking Spelling
To run a spell check:
1. Go to the Review tab.
2. Click the Spelling command.
7-2 Ignoring spelling "errors"
The spell check is not always correct. It will sometimes say something is spelled incorrectly
when it's not. This often happens with people's names, which may not be in the dictionary.
If PowerPoint says something is an error, you can choose not to change it using one of three
options:
Ignore Once: This will skip the word without changing it.
Ignore All: This will skip the word without changing it, and it will also skip all other
instances of the word in your presentation.
Add: This adds the word to the dictionary so it will never come up as an error again.
Make sure the word is spelled correctly before choosing this option.
7-3 Automatic spell check
By default, PowerPoint automatically checks your
presentation for spelling errors, so you may not even
need to run a separate check using the Spelling
command. These errors are indicated by red, wavy
lines.
3. The Spelling dialog box will open. For each error
in your presentation, PowerPoint will try to offer
one or more suggestions. You can select a
suggestion and then click Change to correct the
error.
4. If no appropriate suggestions are given, you can manually type in the correct spelling and
then click Change

26
7-4 Modifying proofing options
With customizable proofing options, PowerPoint gives you the ability to change the way it addresses
spelling errors, including automatic spell check and contextual spelling. Contextual spelling (an
option that is turned off by default but can be turned on) can help you find and correct spelling
mistakes like the use of "too" vs. "two" or "there" vs. "their".
To modify proofing options:
1. From the Backstage view, click Options.
8-2 Presentation tools and features
PowerPoint provides convenient tools and features you can use while you are presenting your

presentation or access items from your computer desktop if needed.
To access the pen or highlighter:
1. Hover and click on the pen menu option
in the bottom left of your screen.
2. Select Pen or Highlighter based on your
preference.
! Modifying any settings in PowerPoint Options, including Proofing, affects all of PowerPoint, not just your
current presentation.!
2. Select Proofing. The PowerPoint Options dialog box gives you several options to choose from:
◦ Check spelling as you type: Uncheck this box if
you don't want PowerPoint to check for spelling
errors automatically. (This automatically checks
Hide spelling errors.)
◦ Use contextual spelling: Check this box if
you want PowerPoint to check for contextual
spelling mistakes, like the use of "your" vs.
"you're".
◦ Hide spelling errors: Check this box if you
want to hide the red, wavy lines that mark
spelling errors. (This option is disabled if
Check spelling as you type is unchecked.)
To use the automatic spell check feature:
1. Right-click the underlined word. A menu will appear.
2. Click the correct spelling of the word from the list of suggestions.
3. The corrected word will appear in the presentation.

better, and it can also help it match the appearance of your presentation.
To modify the size and color:
1. Select an existing bulleted list.
4. Set the bullet size using the Size field.
5. Click the Color drop-down box, and select a color.

dialog box.
8. Click OK again to apply the symbol to the list in the document.
11-1 Indentation and line spacing
Indentation is a useful tool for making your text more readable. When used in paragraphs, a
first-line indent helps to set paragraphs apart from one another. When used in bulleted or
numbered lists, indents can change the level of each line to form a multilevel list. Line
spacing is another tool you can use to control how text looks on the slide. It can be used to
improve readability or to fit more lines on the slide.
11. Indents and Line Spacing
To indent using the Tab key:
A quick way to indent is to use the Tab key. In a normal paragraph, this will create a first-
line indent, but if the paragraph is part of a bulleted or numbered list, the entire paragraph
will be indented.
1. Place the insertion point at the very
beginning of the paragraph you wish to
indent.
2. Press the Tab key. The paragraph will
now be indented.
To use the indent commands:
If you want to indent all of the lines in a paragraph, you can use the Indent commands on
the Home tab. For lists, the Indent commands work the same way as the Tab key.
1. Select the text you wish to indent.
2. On the Home tab, click the Increase
Indent command to increase the indent,
or click the Decrease Indent command
to decrease the indent.
3. The selected text will update to reflect
the new indent.
11-2 Fine-tuning indents
Sometimes you may wish to fine tune the indents and tabs in your presentations. You can do
this by adjusting the indent markers and tab stops on the ruler. By default, the Ruler is
hidden, so you'll first need to show the Ruler.
1. Select the View tab
2. Click the Ruler check box in the Show/Hide
group if it is not selected. The Ruler will
appear
36 37

11-3 Customizing bullet spacing
When working with lists, PowerPoint allows you to adjust the space between a bullet and the text by
using the first-line indent marker or the hanging indent marker. The ability to increase and decrease
the indentation allows you to customize lists to meet your needs.
38
To change bullet spacing:
1. Select the lines you want to change.
2. On the ruler, drag the first-line indent marker to the right or left. The bullet will move
independently from the text. Alternatively, you can drag the hanging indent marker to move the
text without moving the bullet.
11-4 Line spacing
PowerPoint allows you to adjust the amount of space between each line in a paragraph. You can
reduce the line spacing to fit more lines on a slide, or you can increase it to improve readability.
PowerPoint may automatically change the font size when you adjust the line spacing, so increasing the
line spacing too much may cause the text to be too small.
To format line spacing:
1. Select the text you want to format.
2. Click the Line Spacing command in the Paragraph group on the Home tab.
3. Select the desired spacing option from the drop-down menu.
12-1 Creating WordArt
PowerPoint allows you to add effects to the text inside of a text box, which is known as
WordArt. For the most part, the types of effects you can add are the same as the ones you
can add to shapes and text boxes (shadow, bevel, etc.). However, with WordArt, you can also
Transform the text to give it a wavy, slanted, or inflated look.
12. WordArt and Shapes

removed from the image.
9. You can adjust the image at any time by clicking the Remove Background command again.
15. Arranging Objects
To align two or more objects:
1. Click and drag your mouse to form a
selection box around the objects you want to
align. All of the objects will now have sizing
handles to show that they are selected
15-1 Arranging objects
After adding objects to a slide, it may be necessary to arrange them so the objects appear the
way you want. You can align, group, rotate, and order objects to create the desired
arrangement.
15-2 Aligning objects
You can click and drag objects to align them manually, but guesswork will never give you the
best result. Additionally, aligning objects in this way can take a great deal of time. Luckily,
PowerPoint provides you with several commands that allow you to easily arrange and
position objects.
2. From the Format tab, click the Align
command, and select Align Selected Objects
3. Click the Align command again, and
select one of the six alignment options.
4. The objects will align to each other
based on the option you have selected.
14-5 Removing the background from an image
Removing the background from an image can give your images a cleaner appearance and will allow
the slide background (or other objects) to show through. If you're printing your presentation, it can
also save ink.
About Background Removal
With Background Removal, PowerPoint uses
special algorithms to determine which parts of the
image are the background and then removes those
areas from the image.
49

50
To align objects to the slide:
Sometimes you may wish to align one or more objects to a specific location within the slide, such as
the top or bottom. You can do this by simply selecting the Align to Slide option before you align the
objects.
1. Click and drag your mouse to form a selection box around the objects you want to align. All of the
objects will now have sizing handles to show that they are selected.
2. From the Format tab, click the Align command, and select Align to Slide.
3. Click the Align command again, and select one of the six alignment options.
4. The objects will align to the slide based on the option you have selected.
To change the ordering by one level:
1. Select an object. The Format tab will appear.
15-3 Ordering and rotating objects
In addition to aligning and grouping objects, PowerPoint gives you the ability to arrange
objects in a specific order. Ordering is important when two or more objects overlap, as it will
determine which objects are in the front or the back.
3. The objects will reorder themselves
2. From the Format tab, click the Bring
Forward or Send Backward command to
change the object's ordering by one level. If
the object overlaps with more than one
other object, you may need to click the
command several times to achieve the
desired ordering.
To distribute objects evenly:
If you have arranged objects in a row or column, you may want them to be an equal distance from
one another for a neater appearance. You can do this by distributing the objects horizontally or
vertically.
1. Click and drag your mouse to form a selection box around the objects you want to align. All of the
objects will now have sizing handles to show that they are selected.
2. From the Format tab, click the Align command.
3. From the menu, select Distribute Horizontally or Distribute Vertically.
4. The objects will be distributed evenly.
To bring an object to the front or back:
If you want to move an object behind or in front of several objects, it's usually faster to bring it
to front or send it to back rather than clicking the ordering commands multiple times.
2. From the Format tab, click the Bring Forward or Send Backward drop-down box.
3. From the drop-down menu, select Bring to Front or Send to Back.
4. The objects will reorder themselves.
To rotate an object:
2. From the Format tab, click the Rotate command. A drop-down menu will appear.
3. Select the desired rotation option.
4. The object in the slide will rotate.

4. Select the desired animation effect.
5. The object will now have a small number next to it to show that it has an animation. Also, in
the Slide pane, the slide will now have a star symbol next to it.
15-4 Grouping objects
At times, you may want to group multiple objects into one object so they will stay together if they are
moved. Often, this is easier than selecting all of the objects every time you want to move them.
Pictures, shapes, clip art, and text boxes can all be grouped together, but placeholders cannot be
grouped. Therefore, you should make sure you don't insert your pictures into placeholders if you will
be grouping the pictures.
.
To group objects:
1. Click and drag your mouse to form a
selection box around the objects you want to
align. All of the objects will now have sizing
handles to show that they are selected.
! If you select the objects and the Group command
is disabled, it may be because one of the objects is
inside a placeholder. If this happens, try reinserting
the images or cutting and pasting them into the
same slide outside of any placeholders.!
To ungroup objects:
1. Select the grouped object you wish to ungroup.
2. From the Format tab, click the Group command, and select Ungroup.
3. The objects will be ungrouped.
2. From the Format tab, click the Group
command, and select Group.
3. The selected objects will now be grouped.
There will be a single box with sizing handles
around the entire group to show that they are
one object.
16. Animating Text and Objects
16-1 Animating text and objects
PowerPoint offers a variety of animations you can use to enhance your presentation.
Animations can be used to make text or objects appear on a slide, exit a slide, or emphasize
the text or objects already on a slide. You can even use motion paths to create a customized
animation.
The four types of animations
There are many different animation effects that you can choose from, and they are organized
into four types:
・ Entrance: These control how the object enters the slide. For example, with the Bounce
animation, the object will "fall" onto
・ Emphasis: These animations occur while the object is on the slide, often triggered by a
mouse click. For example, you can
・ Exit: These control how the object exits the slide. For example, with the Fade animation, the
object will simply fade away.
・ Motion Paths: These are similar to Emphasis effects, except that the object moves within
the slide along a predetermined path,
the slide and then bounce several
times.
set an object to Spin when you
click the mouse.
like a circle.

To reorder the animations:
1. Select the number of the effect you want to
change.
16-2 Working with animations
Effect options
Some effects will have options you can change. For
example, with the Fly In effect, you can control which
direction the object comes from. These options can be
accessed from the Effect Options command in the
Animation group.
To add multiple animations to an object:
If you select a new animation from the menu in the
Animation group, it will replace the object's current
animation. However, you'll sometimes want to place more
than one animation on an object, for example an Entrance
and an Exit effect. To do this, you'll need to use the Add
Animation command, which will allow you to keep your
current animations while adding new ones.
1. Select the object.
2. Click the Animations tab.
3. In the Advanced Animation group, click the Add
Animation command to view the available animations.
4. Select the desired animation effect
5. If the object has more than one effect, it will have a
different number for each effect. The numbers indicate the
order in which the effects will occur.
To copy animations with the Animation Painter:
In some cases, you may want to apply the same effects to
more than one object. You can do this by copying the
effects from one object to another using the Animation
Painter.
1. Click on the object that has the effects you want to copy.
2. From the Animations tab, click the Animation Painter
command.
3. Click on the object you want to copy the effects to. The
effects will be applied to the object
2. From the Animations tab, click the Move
Earlier or Move Later commands to change
the ordering.
To preview animations:
Any animation effects you have applied will show up when you play the slide show.
However, you can also quickly preview the animations for the current slide without viewing
the slide show.
1. Navigate to the slide you want to preview.
2. From the Animations tab, click the Preview command.
The animations for the current slide will play.
16-3 The Animation Pane
The Animation Pane allows you to view and manage all of the effects that are on the current
slide. You can modify and reorder effects directly from the Animation Pane, which is
especially useful when you have a large number of effects.

55

56
To change an effect's start option:
By default, an effect begins playing when you click the mouse during a slide show. If you have
multiple effects, you will need to click multiple times to start each effect individually. However, by
changing the start option for each effect, you can have effects that automatically play at the same
time or one after the other.
1. From the Animation Pane, select an effect. A drop-down arrow will appear next to the effect.
2. Click the drop-down arrow. You will see three start options:
3. Select the desired start option.
◦ Start on Click: This will start the effect when the mouse is clicked.
◦ Start With Previous: This will start the effect at the same time as
the previous effect.
◦ Start After Previous: This will start the effect when the previous
effect ends.

select Video from File.
Embedding a video from a website
Some websites, like YouTube, allow you to embed videos into
your slides. An embedded video will still be hosted on its
original website, meaning the video itself won't be added to
your file. Embedding can be a convenient way to reduce the
file size of your presentation, but you'll also need to be
connected to the Internet for the video to play.
! We have found that this feature no longer works in PowerPoint 2010. If you need to add an online
video, you could insert a hyperlink to the video directly on your slide. Review our lesson on Hyperlinks

20. Hyperlinks and Action Buttons
20-1 Inserting hyperlinks
Adding hyperlinks to your presentation can help your reader quickly access contact
information or information from the Internet. Additionally, hyperlinks in the form of action
buttons are useful for navigating your slide show. To use hyperlinks, you'll need to know how
to insert hyperlinks using text and objects, as well as how to insert action buttons.
About hyperlinks
Hyperlinks have two basic parts: the address of the webpage, email address, or other location
they are linking to, and the display text (which can also be a picture or shape). For example,
the address could be http://blog.gcflearnfree.org, and the display text could be "blog". In
some cases, the display text might be the same as the address. When you're creating a
hyperlink in PowerPoint, you'll be able to choose both the address and the display text or
image.
To insert a hyperlink:
1. Select the image or text you would like to
make a hyperlink.
2. Right-click the selected text or image, and
click Hyperlink.
3. The Insert Hyperlink dialog box will
open. You can also get to this dialog box
from the Insert tab by clicking Hyperlink.
4. If you selected text, the words will
appear in the Text to display field at the
top. You can change this text if you want.
5. Type the address you would like to link
to in the Address field.
6. Click OK. The text or image you selected
will now be a hyperlink to the web address
To insert a hyperlink to an email address:
click Hyperlink.
2. The Insert Hyperlink dialog box will open.
3. On the left side of the dialog box, click
Email Address.
4. Type the email address you want to
connect to in the Email Address box, and
click OK.
6766

To open and test a hyperlink:
1. After you create a hyperlink, you should test it.
Right-click the hyperlink, and click Open
Hyperlink.
2. Your web browser should open and navigate
to the linked page. If it does not work, check the
hyperlink address for any misspellings.
To insert a hyperlink to another slide:
1. Right-click the selected text or image, and click
Hyperlink.
3. On the left side of the dialog box, click Place in
this Document.
To insert a hyperlink to another file:
click Hyperlink.
3. On the left side of the dialog box, click
Existing File or Web Page.
5. Select the desired file.
6. Click OK. The text or image will now be a
hyperlink to the file you selected.
To remove a hyperlink:
1. Right-click the hyperlink.
2. Click Remove Hyperlink.
20-2 More hyperlinks
In PowerPoint, you can also use hyperlinks to link to resources that are not online. To create a quick
way to refer to another slide in your presentation, you can create a hyperlink to that slide. You can
even create hyperlinks to files stored on your computer.
4. A list of the other slides in your
presentation will appear. Click the name of
the slide you would like to link to.
5. Click OK. The text or image will now be a
hyperlink to the slide you selected.
4. Click the drop-down arrow to browse for
your file.
! If you plan on displaying your presentation on a different computer than you used to create it, your
hyperlink to another file may not work. Make sure you have a copy of the linked file on the computer
you are using to present, and always test hyperlinks before giving a presentation.!
20-3 Inserting action buttons
In addition to hyperlinks, another tool you can use to connect to a webpage, file, email
address, or slide is called an action button. Action buttons are built-in button shapes you can
add to a presentation and set to link to another slide, play a sound, or perform some other
action. When someone clicks or moves over the button, the selected action will occur. Action
buttons can do many of the same things as hyperlinks. Their easy-to-understand style makes
them especially useful for self-running presentations at booths and kiosks.
You can insert action buttons on one slide at a time, or you can insert an action button that
will show up on every slide. The second option can be useful if you want every slide to link
back to a specific slide, like the title page or table of contents.

Tools on the Ribbon. Using commands on the Layout tab, you can make a variety of
modifications to the table.
① ② ③ ④ ⑤ ⑥
1. Add Rows and Columns
You can insert or delete rows and columns in
your table. This can be especially useful if you

Making the text vertical can add style to your table,
and it also saves space, allowing you to fit more
columns in your table.
5. Align Cell Text
By changing the alignment of a cell, you can
control exactly where the text is located. In
the example below, the cell text is aligned to
the bottom right.

22. Working with Charts
22-1 Charts
In many ways, charts are an ideal way to present information in PowerPoint 2010. They give you an
illustration of your data. A chart can help you show your audience what your data means and why it's
important. Plus, they can add visual interest to slide shows that are otherwise filled with text. To use
charts effectively, you'll need to know how to insert and modify them.
To insert a chart:
2. Click the Insert Chart command in the Illustrations
Group. The Insert Chart dialog box will appear.
3. Select a category from the left pane of the dialog
box, and review the charts that appear in the center.
If you are unsure about which chart best fits your
needs, review the Types of Charts interactive on
page 2.
4. Select the desired chart.
5. Click OK. An Excel window will open with a
placeholder for your data.
Types of charts
PowerPoint has a variety of chart types, each with its own advantages. Click the arrows to see
some of the different types of charts available in PowerPoint.
Identifying the parts of a chart
Column charts use vertical bars to represent
data. They can work with many different types of
data, but they're most frequently used for
comparing information.
Line charts are ideal for showing trends. The
data points are connected with lines, making it
easy to see whether values are increasing or
decreasing over time.
Pie charts make it easy to compare proportions.
Each value is shown as a slice of the pie, so it's
easy to see which values make up the
percentage of a whole.
Bar charts work just like Column charts, but they
use horizontal bars instead of vertical bars.
Area charts are similar to line charts, except that
the areas under the lines are filled in.
Surface charts allow you to display data across a
3D landscape. They work best with large data
sets, allowing you to see a variety of information
at the same time.
1. Title
The title should clearly describe what
the chart is illustrating.
2. Data Series
The data series consists of the
related data points in a chart. If there
are multiple data series in the chart,
each one will have a different color
or style. Pie charts can only have one
data series.
In this example, the green columns
represent the Romance data series.
3. Vertical Axis
The vertical axis (also known as the
y axis) is the vertical part of the
chart.
In this example (a column chart), the
vertical axis measures the height, or
value of the columns, so it is also
called the value axis. However, in a
bar chart, the horizontal axis would
be the value axis.
4. Horizontal Axis
The horizontal axis (also
known as the x axis) is the
horizontal part of the chart.
In this example, the horizontal
axis identifies the categories in
the chart, so it is also called
the category axis. However, in
a bar chart, the vertical axis
would be the category axis.
5. Legend
The legend identifies which
data series each color on the
chart represents. For many
charts it is crucial, but for
some charts it may not be
necessary and can be deleted.
In this example, the legend
allows the viewer to identify
the different book genres in
the chart.

22-2 Inserting charts
PowerPoint uses an Excel worksheet as a placeholder for entering chart data. Therefore,
when you insert or edit a chart in PowerPoint, an Excel window will automatically open. The
process is user-friendly, but if you are totally unfamiliar with Excel, you might want to review
our Excel 2010 Cell Basics lesson.
7776

To enter chart data:
The data that appears in the Excel spreadsheet is
placeholder source data that you will replace with
your own information. The Excel source data is used
to create the PowerPoint chart.
1. Enter your data into the Excel spreadsheet. If you
are not sure how to enter data into an Excel
spreadsheet, review the Excel 2010 Cell Basics lesson.
2. If necessary, click and drag the lower-right corner of
the blue line to increase or decrease the data range
for rows and columns. Only the data enclosed by the
blue lines will appear in the chart.
3. Close Excel. You do not need to save the
spreadsheet. The PowerPoint chart will update to
reflect the new source data.
22-3 Importing a chart from Excel
If you have already created a chart in Excel, you can import and link it to your PowerPoint
presentation. When you insert an Excel chart in PowerPoint, any updates you make to the
original Excel chart will automatically update in your PowerPoint presentation, as long as the
files remain in the same location. This can be a convenient and time-saving feature for
presentations that require frequent updating.
Copying and pasting existing Excel data:
If you already have an Excel worksheet with data you would like to use for a PowerPoint chart, you
can transfer the data by copying and pasting it. When the Excel window opens, simply open your
existing worksheet, select and copy the data, and paste it into the worksheet in place of the
placeholder data. Be sure to drag the blue line to surround all the data you would like to include in
the chart.
1. Click the Insert tab, and locate the Text
group.
2. Click the Insert Object command. A
dialog box will appear.
! Once you have imported a chart, be careful not to delete or move the original Excel file. If the
location of either the PowerPoint presentation or the Excel file changes, you may have to insert the
chart again in order for it to display correctly!
6. Click the Link checkbox if you would like
to link the data to the Excel chart. This will
enable your PowerPoint chart to update
itself when changes are made to the Excel
chart.
5. Find and select the desired Excel chart,
then click OK.
3. In the dialog box, select Create from file.
4. Click Browse.
7. Click OK. The chart will now appear in
your PowerPoint presentation.
7978

To switch row and column data:
Sometimes when you create a chart, the data may not be grouped the way you want it to. In the
clustered column chart below on the left, the Book Genre Sales statistics are grouped by Genre,
with a column for each year. However, you could also switch the row and column data so the chart
will group the statistics by year, with columns for each genre, as in the chart on the right. In both
cases, the chart contains the same data; it's just organized differently.
To change the chart type:
1. From the Design tab, click the Change Chart Type
command. A dialog box will appear.
2. Select the desired chart type.
3. Click OK. The chart will update to reflect the new
chart type.
1. Select the chart.
2. From the Chart Tools Design tab, select the Edit
command in the Data group. The Excel placeholder will
open.
3. Return to your PowerPoint slide. Select the Switch
Row/Column command in the Data group.
4. The chart will adjust the data.
To change the chart layout:
1. Select the Chart Tools Design tab.
2. Click the More drop-down arrow in the Chart Layouts group to see all of the available
layouts.
3. Select the desired layout.
4. The chart will update to reflect the new layout.
To change the chart style:
1. Select the Chart Tools Design tab.
2. Click the More drop-down arrow in the Chart Styles group to see all of the available styles.
4. The chart will update to reflect the new style.
22-4 Modifying charts with chart tools
There are many ways to customize and organize your charts. For example, PowerPoint allows you to
change the chart type, rearrange a chart's data, and even change the layout and style.
Once you insert a chart, a set of Chart Tools will appear
on the Ribbon. These are only visible when the chart is
selected. You can use the three tabs grouped under Chart
Tools to modify your chart.

3. Hover your mouse over Clear
4. Select the desired option.
24-2 Sharing presentation options
PowerPoint 2010 offers several options to enhance or even totally change the way you
deliver presentations. Instead of presenting your slide show normally, you can choose to
present it as a video, or even broadcast it live on the Web so others can view it remotely. No
matter how you choose to give your presentation, you can enhance it by customizing your
slide show to remove or reorder slides, and printing handouts to help your audience take
notes. All of these options can help you give a polished and professional presentation.
Rehearsing slide show timings
Rehearsing timings can be useful if you want to set up a presentation to play at a certain speed
without having to click through the slides to present it. Think of it as a tool to help you practice
presenting your slide show. Using this feature, you can save timings for each slide and animation.
PowerPoint will then play back the presentation with the same timings when you present it.
Recording your slide show
The Record Slide Show feature is similar to the Rehearse Timings feature, but it's more
comprehensive. If you have a microphone for your computer, you can even record voice-over
narration for the entire presentation. This is useful if you plan on using your slide show for a self-
running presentation or a video. Your mouse won't show up on screen in recorded slide shows, so if
you would like to point out details on screen, you can use PowerPoint's laser pointer option.
3. Select either Start Recording from
Beginning or Start Recording from Current
Slide. The Record Slide Show dialog box will
appear.
4. Select the desired options. Remember,
you can only record narration if you have a
microphone attached to your computer.
5. Click Start Recording. Your presentation
will open up to a full-screen view.
6. Perform your slide show. Make sure to
speak clearly into the microphone if you are
recording narration. When you are ready to
move to the next slide, click the Next button
on the Recording Toolbar in the top left
corner, or use the right arrow key.
7. When you reach the end of the show, press
the Esc key to exit.
8. Your slide show timings and narration are
now included in your presentation. The slides
with narration will be marked with a speaker
icon in the bottom right corner.
Presenting your slide show as a video
The Create a Video feature allows you to save your presentation as a video. This can be
useful, as it lets your viewers watch the presentation whenever they want. To make sure your
viewers have enough time to view each slide, you might want to rehearse the timings or
record your slide show before using this feature. 8786

24-3 Broadcasting your slide show to remote audiences

24-5 Customizing your slide show
Sometimes you might want to hide a slide while still keeping it in your presentation. For
instance, if you are presenting a slide show to more than one group of people, hiding or even
rearranging certain slides could help you tailor your slide show to each group you present it
to. You could also choose to create a shortened version of your slide show to present when
you're short on time. The Custom Slide Show feature allows you to create and name
different versions of your slide show with hidden or rearranged slides.

25. Slide Master view
25-1 Slide Master view
You may have noticed that when you select a different theme in PowerPoint, it rearranges
the text on your slides and adds shapes to the background. That's because each theme has
built-in slide layouts and background graphics. You can edit these layouts with a feature
called Slide Master view. Once you learn how to use Slide Master view, you'll be able to
customize your entire slide show with just a few clicks.
What is Slide Master view?
Slide Master view is a special feature in PowerPoint that allows you to quickly modify the
Using Slide Master view
Whether you're making big changes to your slides or just a few small tweaks, Slide Master
view can help you create a consistent, professional presentation without a lot of effort. You
could use Slide Master view to change just about anything in your presentation, but here are
some of its most common uses:
Modify Backgrounds: Slide Master view makes it easy to customize the background for all
of your slides at the same time. For example, you could add a watermark or logo to every
slide in your presentation, or modify the background graphics of an existing PowerPoint
theme.
Rearrange Placeholders: If you find that you often rearrange the placeholders on each
slide, you can save time by rearranging them in Slide Master view instead. When you
adjust one of the layouts in Slide Master view, all of the slides with that layout will change.
Customize Text Formatting: Rather than changing the text color on every slide
individually, you could use the slide master to change the text color on all slides at once.
Create Unique Slide Layouts: If you want to create a presentation that looks different
from regular PowerPoint themes, you could use Slide Master view to create your own
layouts. Custom layouts can include your own background graphics, placeholders, and
more.
slides and slide layouts in your
presentation. From there, you can
edit the slide master, which will
affect every slide in the
presentation. You can also modify
individual slide layouts, which will
change any slides using those
layouts.
For example, suppose you find a
theme you like, but you don't like
the slide layouts. You could use
Slide Master view to customize the
layouts exactly the way you want.

To make changes to all slides:
If you want to change something on all slides of your presentation, you can edit the slide master. In
our example, we'll add a logo to every slide.
25-2 Customizing slide layouts
You can use Slide Master view to modify any slide layout in your presentation. It's easy to
make small tweaks, like adjusting background graphics, or big changes, like rearranging or
deleting placeholders. Unlike with Slide Master, changes to a slide layout will only be applied
to slides using that layout in your presentation.5. Move, resize, or delete other slide objects
as needed. In our example, we'll resize the
title placeholder to fit below our newly
inserted log
1. Select the View tab, then click the Slide Master
command.
2. The presentation will switch to Slide Master
view, and the Slide Master tab will be selected
on the Ribbon.
3. In the left navigation pane, scroll up and select
the first slide. This is the slide master.
4. Use the desired tabs on the Ribbon to
make changes to the slide master. In our
example, we'll insert a picture in the upper-
left corner of the slide.
6. When you're finished, click the Close
Master View command on the Slide Master
tab.
7. The change will appear on all slides of the
presentation.
1. Navigate to Slide Master view.
2. Locate and select the desired layout in
the left-navigation pane. You can hover the
mouse over each layout to see which slides
are currently using that layout in the
presentation
3. In some layouts, the background graphics
may be hidden. To show the graphics,
uncheck the box next to Hide Background
Graphics.
4. Add, move, or delete any objects as
desired. In our example, we'll move the
purple rectangle to better show our new
logo..
5. If you want to change the arrangement
of the placeholders, you can move, resize,
or delete any of them. In our example, we'll
rearrange our placeholders to create more
room for text on the slide
To customize an existing slide layout:
In our example, our newly added logo overlaps a background graphic in the Content with
Caption Layout. We'll customize this layout to make room for the logo.
7. All slides using the layout will be updated.
6. When you're finished, click the Close
Master View command on the Slide
Master tab.

Customizing text formatting:
You can also customize the text formatting from Slide Master view, including the font, text size,
color, alignment. For example, if you want to change the font for every title placeholder in your
pandresentation, you can modify the Master title style on the Slide Master.
Every title placeholder is connected to the master title style on the Slide Master. As you can see in
the example below, modifying the font on the Slide Master changed the title font on every slide.
25-3 Creating new slide layouts
One of the most powerful features of Slide Master view is the option to create new slide layouts.
This is an easy way to add interesting and unique slide layouts to an existing theme. You could even
use this feature to design an entirely new theme, as in the example below.
To insert a new slide layout:
2. From the Slide Master tab, click the Insert
Layout command.
3. A new slide layout will appear.
4. The layout will include Title and Footer
placeholders by default. Click the Title and
Footers boxes in the Master Layout group to
toggle these placeholders on and off.
5. Click the bottom half of the Insert
Placeholder command, then select the
desired placeholder type. We recommend
using the Content placeholder most of the
time, since it can be used for any type of slide
content.
6. Click and drag to draw the placeholder
on the slide. You can add more
placeholders, if desired.
7. Using the other tabs on the Ribbon, you
can add background graphics, shapes, or
pictures to the slide layout.
To rename a custom layout:
You'll want to give your custom layout a unique name so it will be easy to find.
2. Select the desired layout, then click the Rename command.
3. A dialog box will appear. Type the desired name, then click Rename.
