PowerPoint Basics / Opening & Switching Between Slide Shows
Subtitles of the Movie
Let's take a moment to discuss opening presentations. When you want to open an another presentation it's relatively simple. All you have to do is go to file, to open or click on this open button here. You can also use the shortcut CTRL+O. Whenever you choose to open a presentation it automatically jumps you to the my documents folder, that's the default - from there you can go anywhere. Notice to the left you have places where you can go to, for example the desktop, the history folder, the favorites folder. Under lookin you can click on the down arrow and choose anywhere else on your computer to go to. We are going to stay in my documents and select another presentation (secrtets). I see a preview again to the right and I can click open to open it up and look at it. This presentation is "secrets to a good presentation". When you have two presentations open, you go to window in the menu bar (both of them are listed), and you can choose which one of them you want to look at. There is also a shortcut. The shortcut is the CTRL key on the keyboard and F6. The F key is on the very top of your keyboard, F6, and that is a little secret for you. That works in almost any program by the way - CTRL+F6 allows you to get in between more than one document that you have open in a program. Of course you can always come here under window. So to open - file to open, CTRL +O, or the open button here. Once you have another presentation open if you want to go back and forth between your two presentations you can go to window, choose the presentation that you want to see, or you can use CTRL+F6. There is one other thing you need to know about having more than one presentation open. Look down on the task bar - do you see how I have two separate tabs for both the presentations, essentially I have two separate power points opened. That's what Powerpoint does - if you open more than one presentation, Powerpoint actually creates (and I am going to minimize the program here), Powerpoint actually creates two separate windows, two separate tabs on the task bar. So that's something you want to keep in mind when you have more than one presentation open.
