Okay. So this is section four of module three, Getting Started, and we need to go ahead and talk real quick about saving our presentation.

Now this is going to work like it pretty much does in Word or Excel, if you’re familiar with that. But I would say frequently in PowerPoint, as a matter of fact I’d probably start saving right away especially as you start putting graphics in here because you’d hate to lose all that work that you did. So let me flip over to our presentation and we’ll go ahead and get it saved.

Okay so here we are in our presentation we’ve been working on. And I want you to notice that when we left off we actually put an extra slide in here because I was talking to you about what these little buttons here meant. Now I want to show you real quick how to delete a slide if you don’t want it. The easiest thing is over here on the left if you just select it you can actually just hit Delete on the keyboard and it’s gone. Now I could have left it there because I’d probably use it but I just wanted to show you how to delete it.

So what we’re going to do is we’re going to go up to our File tab, we’re going to choose Save As. Now we’ve got several places we can save this to and the first option is OneDrive. And if you don’t know what that is, you know everything is going online now. You’ve probably heard people talk about working in the Cloud. Well Microsoft, Google, everybody’s got their own version of saving something on their network or in the Cloud.

And OneDrive is just Microsoft’s version of that. So you just need an account with Microsoft’s OneDrive and then you can actually save it to the web and then you can go anywhere in the whole wide world and pull it up as long as you have your internet access.

Now I can also save it to this PC, I can add a place or browse. So I’m just going to hit Browse here and then I’ll just save it to my desktop. And we can call this anything we want to call it. So I’m just going to say, “My Presentation”. Notice that it saved as a .pptx. That’s your extension for PowerPoint files. I do want you to look at the Save As types because you’ve got all these other types you can save.

Notice this one, the PowerPoint Template. One of the things we’ll talk about way down the line is creating your own templates or your own designs and that’s how you would save it. I could save it as an Office Theme. So there’s lots of different ways I can save this.

But for now I’ll just leave it as a PowerPoint presentation. I’m going to go ahead and click Save and now you can see it says, “My Presentation” right in the title bar there. So that’s how you’re going to save this.

Alright? So that’s going to wrap up module three. Now there is an exercise for module three that I want you to do. So if you go ahead and open that next video which is section five I’ll tell you what I want you to do in that particular exercise just to make sure you’re okay with things.

Chris “Simon” Calder was working as a Project Manager in IT for one of Los Angeles’ most prestigious cultural institutions, LACMA. He taught himself to use Microsoft Project from a giant textbook and hated every moment of it. Online learning was in its infancy then, but he spotted an opportunity and made an online MS Project course - the rest, as they say, is history!
