Now that you have PowerPoint installed, you are actually ready to begin using PowerPoint and that means that first of all, you will need to actually open PowerPoint for the first time. In order to open PowerPoint, simply go to your start key, click it, and if you are on Windows XP, you will click all programs. Earlier versions of Windows simply can click start and then go to programs, but either way you will get to all the different programs that are installed on your computer and you will find Microsoft PowerPoint, a new addition to your list of programs since you just installed it and if you will just click Microsoft PowerPoint, it will begin to come to life. Now you will also see an activation wizard appear which means that you are going to need to activate the software. Activation is a new feature of many Microsoft products, including Office, as well as Operating systems, such as Windows XP, and basically what this means is you need to activate the software and if you don't, you will be only be able to use it for a certain number of times before you are required to activate it. You can activate it using the Internet, just make sure you are connected and click next or you can also activate it by using your telephone, and this will tell you what to do if you want to actually call in the activation. Activation doesn't give away any personal information from you or from your computer; it is completely safe, nothing that you need to worry about, so just make a decision of how you want to activate and if you don't want to do it right now, you can always choose activate later, but again you have a certain number of times that you can open PowerPoint and use it before activation will be required. And here is your first look at PowerPoint and if it seems a little confusing at first, don't worry. This entire tutorial will show you how to use all these different features and how to put together great presentations. Now that you have PowerPoint open, lets take a look how to close it. There are two ways you can close PowerPoint: click the file menu and click exit, or you will notice in the upper right corner the red x. If you click that, PowerPoint will simply close as well and here we are back to your desktop. So that is basically how you open and close PowerPoint. However do you want an easier way? Well you might consider putting an icon or a shortcut for PowerPoint on your desktop. That way if you are using PowerPoint a lot, all you have to do is double-click the icon on your desktop instead of having to go into start programs. If you want to make that icon, what we call a shortcut, no problem. Just go back to Microsoft PowerPoint in your start menu, right-click it, and you will see an option to create a shortcut. Click that option and you will see an additional shortcut created. Now if you are on an earlier version of Windows, it may ask you if you want to put the shortcut on your desktop, in which case all you have to do is say yes. Since we are on Windows XP, it creates a secondary shortcut on the start menu, so I am going to have to actually manually put this on my desktop. That is no problem, all I do is click it and drag it to the desktop area and there it is, and I can simply move it down to where ever I want it to go, and I can even change the name if I like just by clicking it one time. I am going to take off this 2 and now I have a shortcut to Microsoft PowerPoint on my desktop. From this point on all I do is double-click the shortcut and here is PowerPoint again, no problem.
