PowerPoint 2000

Introduction

By the end of the lesson, students should be able to:

• Use levels and bullets

Levels and Bullets

Sometimes, when creating a presentation, you may want to show that some ideas are more important than others, or that an important idea has related smaller points. This is shown with Levels.

If you open a presentation in Outline View, the slides look like this:

Notice that Slide #3, The Internet, has two levels of bullets that show the parts and sub-parts of the lessons about e-mail. Notice also that the font size gets smaller as the bullets are indented.

Creating Levels

To create another level in a bulleted list:

• Click on either the left or right Level Button on the Formatting toolbar.
• Begin typing the next level in your list.

Challenge!

• Open My First Presentation in Normal View.
• Click on the bulleted list slide in the outline pane.
• Type the words from the slide below into your bulleted list slide, using the correct bullet levels.
• Save your changes.
