- [Instructor] If your presentation is long
and has a lot of logical categories
that it can be divided into,
you might be better off creating a Zoom Summary slide,
which is a new feature of PowerPoint.
I'm going to click my mouse
right at the very beginning of my presentation.
I'll change to the Insert ribbon tab, click Zoom
and then select Summary Zoom.
The first thing I need to do is place check marks
next to each of beginnings of all the categories
that I'll be speaking about.
For example, my title slide is a summary
and here I can start the discussion
about the project updates for research and development.
If I come over here to slide six,
this is where I'm going to
start talking about Project Orange STEM,
so that's a nice, natural, logical new category.
Here's where I start talking about the drones of the future.
And then of the charts
and graphs section of the presentation.
I can see down at the bottom, I have five slides selected
and just to make it a nice tidy round number,
I'll select my closing slide.
I'll choose Insert and it's created a nice sectional slide
for me that I can use while I'm presenting.
You'll also notice on the left hand side,
it's divided up all my slide into these sections.
I'm going to change this a bit,
just so it looks a little bit more modern.
I'm going to get rid of this title placeholder
and I will make the background black.
I'll change to the Design ribbon tab,
click Format Background, and change the background to black.
I can also further refine the way these look.
I'm going to select once inside,
and a new tab appears, the Zoom Tools Format tab.
The Zoom Styles area let's me change the way
the thumbnail placeholders look.
If I hover my mouse over them, I can see how it changes,
and this is very similar to the way an image works.
I can change the border, the effects.
I can also hide the background of the slide.
If I click this, you can see that
some of the slides look great
and others completely disappear.
I'll select this again,
because it's important to note
that you can override any of these settings
on a thumbnail by thumbnail basis,
by selecting each thumbnail.
For example, I thought this pie chart look great
with a transparent background,
so I'll select it and click Zoom Background.
I can do the same to my title slide.
That one already looks okay
and I'll leave the rest as is.
Actually that one has a border on it,
so we'll go ahead and make that transparent also.
Now when we present we can jump back and forth
through these sections.
Let's see it in action.
I'll change to the Slide Show ribbon tab.
I click From Current Slide.
And here's how we'll begin our presentation.
I'm going to start with a title slide.
It brings me in and I'll use the right arrow
or the mouse button to navigate through my slides
and now it's brought me back to the main screen.
I can click again, and it's taken me
into the second aspect of my presentation.
I'll go through and once I'm done,
you guessed it, it takes me back to that main theme.
This is useful, because it does give your audience
a bit of a break.
They can see what the whole presentation's going to be about
and they know what's coming up next.
Now obviously this isn't going to be economical
for shorter presentations
or where you're not doing a lot of talking.
I'm going to show you a technique in the next video,
that's really good for short quick presentations
that also uses Zoom.
But for now, we'll hit the Escape key
to get back to our presentation
and if I decide I don't want that title slide
and if I decide after all that I don't want that Zoom Slide,
I can just right click and Delete it.
