"Hello, my name is Rick Kennedy and I'm going to show you how to give a Powerpoint presentation for Expert Village. So now once we have finished our intro page, so now we're going to add another page. So we want to go to "enter", "new slide", and as you can see here that's my second page. Now, I want to keep the same context as my first page so what I'm gonna want to go do is hit "format", go to my "backgrounds", hit my yellow, want my yellow, also I want to keep the same format so I'm going to pick our "format", you see there, and now all my pages I want to set up I want to apply to all, so that what we want to do we want to "apply to all". Now, all my pages have the same thing, but now I want to change my background so I can add some other things to it, I want to add a picture to the particular things in my presentation. So, I don't want to add a text so I just want to add a, I want to change, here's my title as you can see there, and then I can add whatever I want in there, pictures or what have you. Add a picture, we want our desktop, we're going to scroll down, and we're looking for Philadelphia. And as you see there we have a Philadelphia folder, I'm going to go into it and I'm going to start adding some pictures of Philadelphia and the buildings. So that's one of our pictures."
