Introduction

By the end of this lesson, you should be able to:.

• Use the AutoContent Wizard

The AutoContent Wizard

PowerPoint has an AutoContent Wizard to help you create a presentation. The wizard provides several slides with different content guides. Presentation guides are available in several areas, including general, corporate, and sales and marketing.

To use the AutoContent Wizard:

• In the task pane under New Presentation , choose From AutoContent Wizard .
• Click Next to see the different presentation options that are available.

Choosing a presentation type

As you continue working in the wizard, think about what you presentation best fits your needs. If you're not sure which choice to make, try General - Generic .

• Click Next after you have chosen a presentation type.

Type of output

The next screen asks, What type of output will you use?

• Because you will likely be doing an On-screen presentation , click inside the circle next to On-screen presentation. Or, if you are not, feel free to choose another presentation type.
• Click Next .
• On the next screen, you can type in your Presentation Title . Add a footer if necessary.
• The last AutoContent Wizard dialog box appears.
• Click Finish .

Your slides will appear, and you can go through each one and make changes to the content. Edit the slides in Outline View in the left pane, or type directly into the slides in the center pane.

Making changes to content

When you use the AutoContent Wizard, the slides that result are a guide for your actual content. Make the changes necessary to fit your presentation.

For example, if you are working on a General - Generic presentation about your organization and how it helps the community, your first slide might look like this:

You may want to add or delete some of the slides based on your content or add a different design or color scheme.

• Open the AutoContent Wizard .
• Choose a Presentation Type .
• Add a Presentation Title .
• When you Finish , make changes to the first page of the presentation.
• Click through the presentation in Outline View .
• Close this presentation without saving the document.
• Open the Where I Learn presentation.
• Insert a new slide with a title placeholder and a bulleted list placeholder (Title and Text).
• Type a title and some interesting information about where you learn. Format this information so it is not in a bulleted list.
• Save and close the document.

Congratulations! You just completed your first challenge presentation in PowerPoint 2003.

Use Copilot to create and edit awesome PowerPoint presentations

july 26, 2024

by Deb Ashby

Are you looking for an efficient way of creating modern, multi-slide PowerPoint presentations? If so, then Microsoft Copilot is a game-changer! Copilot is an everyday AI companion that can work with you inside your favorite Office applications, making you more efficient and productive.

In this article, we are going to explore how to use Copilot and Microsoft Designer , a powerful AI design tool, in PowerPoint to quickly create and edit presentations.

Set yourself up for Success: Copilot pre-requisites

In PowerPoint, the Copilot icon can be found on the Home ribbon.

If the Copilot button is greyed out (inaccessible), we need to make sure that we have completed the following steps:

• Save the presentation to the OneDrive account associated with your Copilot license ( File > Save As > OneDrive ).
• Toggle on autosave.

Create a presentation with Copilot

In this scenario, we are a tech startup called Infotech. We are looking to create a sales pitch presentation to dazzle potential investors.

Let’s use Copilot to help us with this.

Create a blank presentation

• Open PowerPoint.
• From the File tab, click New and select Blank Presentation .

• From the Home tab, select Copilot.

The Copilot pane

The Copilot pane is split into halves. The top half shows four prompt suggestions, which are a good place to start when using Copilot.

The lower half is where we type our prompts and ask questions.

• Select Using this presentation.

Note: The prompt area has dictation capabilities which can be useful for people with accessibility or mobility issues. Click the microphone icon to speak instead of type.

• In the prompt box, type the following: “Create a sales pitch presentation for a tech startup called Infotech to impress potential investors and secure investments."

• Click Send .

Copilot will generate a multi-slide presentation with placeholder text. This text is AI-generated based on the prompt you provided.

Redesign slides with Microsoft Designer

The AI-generated images in the presentation provide a starting point. You can further customize the presentation with your own or your organization’s images.

• Click on an image in the presentation.
• From the Picture Format tab, in the Adjust group, click Change Picture .
• Choose a picture source from the drop-down list.

In this example, I’m going to use a Stock Image .

• Click Insert .

We can change the look and feel of each slide in our presentation using Microsoft Designer, Microsoft’s AI design tool.

If you don’t see the Designer pane open automatically, click the Home tab and then Designer .

• Choose a new design to apply to the slide.

• Repeat this process for each slide in the deck to quickly redesign slides and achieve a consistent look.

Edit the presentation with Copilot

We can use Copilot to make edits and structural change to our presentation.

Speaker notes

A cool feature of Copilot is that it automatically creates speaker notes and adds them to the presentation.

• Click the View tab.
• In the Show group, click Notes .

The notes will show at the bottom of the slide. You can edit the notes from here or go to View > Notes Page for a more focused view of the notes.

Summarize the presentation

Copilot can summarize large presentations and produce a concise overview. This is useful if you are looking to send an email that gives people a summary of the key points in the presentation.

• Click in the prompt area.
• Type the prompt, “Summarize this presentation” .

Copilot will return a summary of the deck with references. The reference number tells us which slide in the desk the summary item relates to.

• Click Copy to copy the summary to the clipboard.

We can now paste this information into an Outlook email, a Teams channel, a Word document etc.

Create a presentation from a file

When we create a presentation from scratch using Copilot, the text and images are AI-generated.

We can create more customized presentations by starting with an existing document.

• From File , click New and choose Blank presentation .
• On the Home tab, click Copilot .
• Choose the prompt, “Create a presentation from file.”

In this example we are going to use an existing Word document. To use an existing file, the file needs to be saved in OneDrive.

• Click the Files tab.
• Select the file from the list.

Alternatively, we can paste the link to the OneDrive file directly into the prompt area.

• Open the file.
• Click Share and Copy Link.
• Click Copy .

• Go back to PowerPoint and paste the link into the prompt area.

Copilot will use the information and images in the file to build a presentation. It will automatically add notes to each slide and show you the outline the presentation will be based on.

We can then use Designer to redesign our slides or manually make changes.

What do you think of Microsoft Copilot and Designer in PowerPoint?

Remember, we’ve only scratched the surface here with what Copilot can do. I encourage you to try it out for yourself and start unleashing the power of Copilot!
