A First Look at Power Point 2007

The Ribbon

Ribbon is an area across the top of the screen that makes almost all the capabilities of PowerPoint available in a single area. The Ribbon replaces the menus and toolbars in previous versions. The Ribbon exposes most of the feature that use to be hidden in File Menus. The Ribbon makes it easier to see and find commands to format your document.

The Ribbon Customizer lets you organize the Office ribbon to suit your special needs.

Commonly utilized features are displayed on the Ribbon. To view additional features within each group, click the arrow at the bottom right corner of each group.

Each Ribbon is divided into different sections, where similar commands are grouped.

Each of the tabs contains the following tools:

Home: Clipboard, Slides, Font, Paragraph, Drawing, and Editing

Insert: Tables, Illustrations, Links, Text, and Media Clips

Design: Page Setup, Themes, Background

Animations: Preview, Animations, Transition to this Slide

Slide Show: Start Slide Show, Set Up, Monitors

Review: Proofing, Comments, Protect

View: Presentation Views, Show/Hide, Zoom, Window, Macros
