Can you imagine using one of your favorite songs in one of your powerpoint presentations for school or work? Well with 2007 Powerpoint, you can and it’s so easy. In this tutorial, I will show you how to insert a sound file into a slide within a Powerpoint presentation.

1. Go to Start>Programs>Microsoft Program to open the program. Open the presentation that you will be working on. Find the slide where you want to insert the sound clip. Remember to keep the sound files in the same folder as the presentation so they have the same location in your computer. Please Note: You can use either one of the following sound files: .MIDI, .MID, .MP3, .WAV, and .WMA.

2. Go to Insert>Sound, hit the “Sound” button and find the sound file and click OK.

3. Finally, you will be asked if you want the sound file to be played automatically or when you click the Sound clip, so depending on your need, click “Automatically” or “When Clicked.”

4. Now, whenever this particular slide with the sound file comes up, you will notice a little sound icon on the slide indicating that the slide has sound files embedded on it.

Good Job! Now your slides can play music and your audience will certainly enjoy it.

One of the coolest functions in Powerpoint 2007 is adding all kinds of media clips to a powerpoint presentation. This was unheard of back in the 1990s but nowadays you can spice up your presentations with videos, music or your voice recording. In this tutorial, I will show you how easy it is to add a video clip to your presentation. You can add the video to an actual slide and let it run on that specific slide.

Please Note: You need to remember two important things so that you don’t run into any problems when adding a video to a slide. First, you don’t actually insert a video into a slide, you tell a slide the location of the video and then it plays it from that location. The video is never really inside of the presentation, so the most important thing to remember is to keep the video file in the same location as your presentation – specially if you’re planning to travel or give the presentation to someone else. Second, the video file needs to be compatible with the programs that Microsoft uses to run video clips. Powerpoint uses these two programs to play video clips: MCI (Media Control Interface) and Windows Media Player. Finally these are the video format files that can run in MCI and Windows Media Player: .AVI (Audio Visual Interleaved), .MPEG, .MPG (Motion Picture Experts Group) and .WMV, .ASF (Windows Media Video).

Go to Start>Programs>Microsoft Program to open the program. Open the presentation that you will be working on. Find the slide where you want to insert the video. Remember to keep the video files in the same folder as the presentation so they have the same location in your computer.

Go to Insert>Movie. The “Insert Movie” pop up window will appear, find the video that you want to insert and hit OK.

Now you can either select the “Automatically” or “When Clicked” buttons. If you want the video to play automatically when the slide appears pick this option or if you want the video to play when you click on it, then select the “When Clicked” option.

Finally, you can go back to the slide and have fun viewing the video.

Fantastic! See how easy it is and what a great impact your presentation will have on your audience by adding a video feature.

With the many new features available in Powerpoint 2007, one of the most fun ones is creating a photo album. We always think of using Powerpoint for work but this is one of the features that can be used for personal enjoyment. We all keep our photos in digital format these days, so a great way to organize them by subject and share them with people is by creating photo albums. In this tutorial, I will show you the basics of creating a photo album in Powerpoint 2007.

First, try to keep you pictures in a picture folder to make it easy to find them. Go to Start>Microsoft Powerpoint to open the program. Next go to Insert>Photo Album and select it.

Now you will see the Photo Album pop up window. And in here it’s where you will do most of the work. Next click on the “File/Disk” button right under “Insert picture from.” Next find the folder where you have the saved pictures and select the ones that you want to include in this particular photo album (Press Control Key while selecting more than picture to move a group of pictures at once). Now you will see the pictures under “Pictures in Album.” You can preview them by clicking the specific picture and reviewing it in the “Preview” window to the right hand side of the pop up window. Also if you want to add text to the pictures you can do that by clicking the “New Text Box” button right under “Insert Text” sign.

Next go to the bottom of the pop up window box, and select a layout for your pictures – you have the option to put one picture or several pictures per slide. In this example, we’ll select “Fit to Slide” so that you have one picture per slide.

Finally, click the “Create” button to create your photo album.

Great! You just created a photo album in a couple of clicks. Remember, you can always go back and have fun adding features to the photo album.
