Prepare Your Presentation: TJ Walker with Geetesh Bajaj
How do you start creating a new presentation using PowerPoint or another program such as Keynote, Prezi, or something similar? Do you create a storyboard to start with? And do you create your own slides -- or are you one of those fortunate beings who has a team to create your slides? And if you are indeed part of the latter group, how do you brief your designers? There's a proper way to brief your designers, and we will explore that area as well.

Inserting Dummy Text
At some point in time, we all need dummy text to add quickly to our slides so that we can ascertain how a body of text looks or fits within an individual text box or placeholder. There is an undocumented feature in PowerPoint that enables you to add dummy text with just a few keystrokes!
Selecting Text
PowerPoint and indeed all Microsoft Office programs allow you to work with a particular object only if it is selected. For example, you select a shape to make changes to the shape. You similarly select a chart to edit the chart. And yes, you can select a text container object such as a text placeholder, a text box, or even a shape -- and then make changes to its position, formatting, size, etc. However, this changes the entire object -- and leaves the actual text content within that
object largely unchanged. To make changes to the actual text, you first need to select the text separately and then make changes by using the options available within the Home tab of the Ribbon or the Mini Toolbar.
Font Types and Sizes
Type text within PowerPoint -- and its font type and size are decided for you, based on the Theme applied to your presentation. For example, if you use PowerPoint's default Office Theme, then all your typed text will sport the Calibri typeface. You can quickly change the Theme Fonts set altogether for your presentation, and all text instances will switch to the default typefaces of the new Theme or Theme Fonts set. However, there may be times when you want to override these defaults
and choose a typeface that is different, or even a different font size.

Advanced Presentation Properties
In PowerPoint, all the Property fields are saved as metadata. This metadata can be very useful in the cataloging and search of presentations and individual slides. In addition to editing or adding the Property content in Backstage view, you can also bring up the same Properties with the Document Panel, as an interface element within PowerPoint 2013 which directly appears above the active slide, and below the Ribbon. Additionally, you can use the Advanced Properties option.
