Subtitles of the Movie

How do you change the layout of your slide? Well, again, we're working with PowerPoint 2007, so it's a very easy thing to do. Let's go ahead and create a new slide and see how it's done. Make sure you're in the home tab, click new slide and here we have our options. We can click to add text, insert different elements here and click to add a title. Now, this particular theme has the title box and the text box flip-flopped. Usually you'll see the title on the top and the text on the bottom, so don't worry about that here. Now, if I want to change the layout, and what I mean by layout is the container boxes, how those appear on the page and what options we have, I'm going to go to the slides group, go up here to my top button that says layout and of course, if you read the directions, it says change the layout of the selected slide, click the arrow and I have my different options of how the containers will be laid out on that page. Now, I'm going to select comparison and again, I can start adding text here if I want. Of course, I can't type. Just like so. Notice my different elements here for the tables, charts, SmartArt, so forth and so on are gone now that I've actually started entering text here. If I want to let's say enter a picture, and this is going to prompt me out to my pictures folder, I've been working with my old car lately that was totaled and I no longer own and it's been in the BMW heaven for quite some while, so I kind of keep pictures to remind me of it. I know, I probably need counseling, but anyways, that's going to insert the picture. Notice it will automatically resize it to the container space. Now, let's go back here and create a new slide again. Notice that it has assumed the formatting from the previous slide. I want to change that. Let's go back to, I'm going to go back to the original or let's create a picture with a caption and let's add another view of the BMW. Again, notice that it will resize the photograph to automatically fit the container space. So we have some very neat options and again, if you want to change the layout of your slide, PowerPoint makes it very easy to do simply by again going to the slide group, clicking slide layout and changing a new layout. Now, notice what happens here before I conclude this scene if I change this to another layout. My elements are still here. I now have to move these around and change them. Easiest thing to do is actually create a new slide with the effect you want and then just go back and delete this slide from the presentation. That way you don't have elements to move around. So again, to modify the layout, go to your slides group, click there and choose the container layout that you want to use.
