"Hi, my name is Dave Andrews. Today, I'm going to show you how to create new PowerPoint AutoShapes. Let's begin by opening up PowerPoint. Clicking on the start button, going to All Programs, Microsoft Office, and let's launch PowerPoint. This brings up the default slide that I'm going to add my AutoShape to. To create the AutoShape, just click on Insert, and under Shapes, select the shape you'd like to insert. I'm going to put a smiley face in there by clicking on it, and then just drawing the shape onto my PowerPoint. Let's make him yellow by right-clicking on it, and clicking on Format Shape and then the color, select the yellow color. Now, I'm going to press F5 to run my PowerPoint slide show, and as you can see, my smiley face AutoShape has been placed in the PowerPoint. My name is Dave Andrews, and I've just showed you how to create AutoShapes in PowerPoint."
