If you have forgotten the exact name or location of your presentation, you can use the Basic Search to find a file by any known data, for example, by part of the presentation name or a fragment of its content. For a more in-depth search, use the panel Advanced Search, which allows you to specify a criterion that includes a file property (for example, name, subject, creation date, or number of slides), a condition (greater than, before or after, equal to, and others), and a value. For example, the criterion "File name includes garden" finds all files whose name contains the word "garden". In this case, "filename" is a property, "includes" is a condition, and "garden" is a value. If you have Quick Find installed on your computer, PowerPoint can organize information to help you find it faster. If this feature is not installed, click the button Install on the taskbar Basic Search.
Presentation properties can be entered at any time by opening the dialog box Presentation Properties. These values may be useful later when using search functions.
Follow these steps to enter presentation properties and locate the .
PowerPoint will search for files that match your criteria. After completing the search in the task pane Search Results A list of found files will be displayed. To open any of them, just double-click on its name.
Adding a header and footer
Before you print your presentation, you can insert headers and footers that appear on every slide, notes page, or output. Typically, headers and footers contain useful information, such as the name of the presentation author, company name, current date, or page number. Because PowerPoint allows you to add multiple headers and footers, you can set different headers for your slides, handouts, and speaker notes. Adding headers and footers is done using the command Header and Footer V
Published: 2012-11-03In PowerPoint, you can add headers and footers to slides and handouts in a similar way as you can in Word. However, the steps to add a footer in PowerPoint are a little different. Here we will show you how to add and edit a footer template for your PowerPoint presentation.
To add a header and footer, click on the Insert -> Header & Footer option, and then a new dialog box will be displayed as follows.
Here you can control what to include in your slides, date and time, slide number, and footer text. Make sure to check the Footer checkbox and enter the desired footer line. If you want to not show this footer text in the title slide template, then you can check Don't show on title slide.
You can also add a timestamp to your slides. You can learn more about how to add date and time to PowerPoint presentations.
How to Change a Template Footer in PowerPoint 2010
You can change the footer template to suit any layout you want. For example, you might want to show a footer only on the header + content of a slide layout or comparison layout, but not on the cover slide. You can do this by editing the Master Slide or PowerPoint Template and then selecting the Footer section. Here you can apply any text style or footer transformation.
Now close Master View using the cross red button and return to normal view. In PowerPoint 2007, editing the footer template is very similar. You can also change how the footer appears on your slides and apply text styles.
- Historically, there have been several font standards for personal computers around the world. The most popular fonts are from Adobe Systems (Type 1 standard fonts) and Microsoft (TrueType standard fonts). Both standards have their merits, which has led to their parallel coexistence. PowerPoint uses TrueType fonts.
- Often large collections of fonts are bundled with some graphics, publishing, or office software. An example is MS Office, which comes with a huge set of fonts. Unfortunately, as a rule, these fonts are not Cyrillic, and therefore their use in Russia is limited. A similar situation has developed on the Internet. There is a huge selection of free or shareware fonts, but not many of them are Cyrillic.
- Classification of fonts Classification of fonts is quite confusing and contradictory. But, despite the huge number of fonts by application, they can be divided into only 3 groups:
- Absatz
- - red line, literally - ledge) is an indentation in the initial line of printed or handwritten text (a part of the text connected by semantic unity and highlighted by the indentation of the first line). In graphical text editors, a paragraph is a sequence of lines aligned left and right along some boundaries.
- Newspaper writers sometimes call paragraphs "graphs" to emphasize their difference from book paragraphs. Graphs are short segments of thought. Standard newspaper paragraphs consist of three or four sentences, that is, about 40-50 words. Graphs are also a design element that makes the newspaper space free and lively. The reader is reluctant to read materials that look long. Dividing into graphs makes the material more readable, since visually it does not look so cumbersome and verbose.
- To make added text part of a shape, select the shape, and then type the text or paste it from the clipboard.
- So that the added text can be moved independently of the shape, use the Insert - Caption command to add a text field, and then enter the text or paste it from the clipboard (Fig. 3.4).

- Some SmartArt graphic layouts are best suited to specific situations. For example, the Balancing Arrows layout (Link type) is designed to display two opposing ideas or concepts. And to display more than two ideas, switch to a different layout that has more shapes for text, such as the Simple Pyramid layout (Pyramid type).
- When working with SmartArt graphics, it is useful to know certain keyboard shortcuts (Table 3.1).
Table 3.1. Keyboard shortcuts when working with SmartArt graphics | |
the name of the operation | Keyboard shortcuts |
Add a new SmartArt graphic | ALT+C+b |
Open online help | CTRL+SHIFT+F1 |
Switch between text area and SmartArt graphic | CTRL+SHIFT+F2 |
Move from text area to ribbon | Press CTRL+SHIFT+F2 to go to the SmartArt graphic, and then press ALT to go to the Ribbon |
When a shape is selected, move to another shape in the SmartArt graphic | TAB |

When working with text in color publications, it is recommended to adhere to the following rules:
- assign contrasting colors to the background and text. We are talking about the contrast of color, and not just different brightness. For example, black letters on a red background are difficult to read, so this combination should be avoided if possible;
- check the contrast of text and background on a monochrome image. Although this technique doesn't always work, in most cases, when two colors look contrasting in monochrome, they will look contrasting in color;
- Avoid annoying combinations of color tones to print voluminous text. For example, a combination of yellow and red is very effective for printed products with the “New!” label, but such a color scheme is inappropriate in most other cases;
- Avoid shades that are too light or hard to see. Text that is too light is problematic when printed, regardless of whether the shade looks good or bad on the slide. Fine lines with a light shade of color are poorly reproduced. It may even turn out that this color will just look like dirt on paper.
To add slide numbers, time and date, company logo, presentation title or file name, presenter name, etc., at the top or bottom of each handout page or notes, or at the bottom of each slide, use headers and footers.
On the tab Insert in Group Note: In Windows there is a special system font folder Windows\Fonts.

Once installed, the font is added to the system registry, after which it becomes available to all Windows applications (including PowerPoint). click on the button Headers and footers- rice. 3.8.
