Microsoft Powerpoint 2010 features great tools to allow the user to create an eye-catching presentation.

1. Create a Theme

Microsoft Office introduced themes in Microsoft Office 2007 and they remain a popular feature in the 2010 version as well. Themes allow the user to create a consistent type font, graphic effects, and color scheme throughout Microsoft Powerpoint presentations, Microsoft Word documents and Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. Play around with themes in the Design tab.

2. Insert Videos or Audio

Recorded narration can enhance the flow of your presentation.  Insert a brief video to expand upon the point of your presentation and it is embedded automatically with Powerpoint 2010.  Video trim, fades and effects help to incorportate your video seamlessly into the presentation.

3.  Use Graphics

Well-placed charts and diagrams can sometimes express more to your audience than bulleted points. If Microsoft Excel is installed on your computer, click the Chart icon to produce a diagram and insert it into your slide. If you are using a theme, the chart will match it automatically.
