How to Create an Agenda Slide to Organize a PowerPoint Presentation

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name's Dave Andrews. Today I'm going to show you how to create an agenda slide in a PowerPoint presentation. Let's open up PowerPoint and go on to our start button, all programs. Let's find Microsoft Office. Let's just open up PowerPoint. Now what the agenda slide is going to do is allow you to manipulate how you're going to jump around within your PowerPoint documentation as well as give the people viewing your presentation an idea of what you're going to go over. The very first slide I'm going to create in this PowerPoint is going to say, Agenda. I'm going to drag that title up here to the top and I'm going to expand my secondary right here. Now before I get too in to that let's create a couple slides over here that are going to be the actual meat and potatoes of our presentation. Let's right click on new slide, this one's going to be Sales, information on sales. And then you have a lot of text here within the sales. I'm going to create another one. And let's call this Organization Chart. You're able to add My Organizations organization chart. Now, let's go back to our agenda slide and I'm going to show you how we're going to jump between these two slides within our presentation. First thing I'm going to do, I'm going to create a bullet list here. I'm just going to say, Sales Information. In the next bullet, I'm going to say, Organizational Chart. And then what I'm going to do is I'm going to create hyper links on these two items that are going to jump to the appropriate slides. Let's highlight the text, go to insert and then under links, I'm going to select hyper link. Now what we're going to do is we're going to select place in this document, over here on the side and we're currently doing sales so I'm going to select the sales slide and say, o.k. I'm going to do the same thing for the organization chart, insert link, hyper link and select organization chart. Now if I run my PowerPoint now, you can see that I have two links here on my agenda, one for sales information and another for organizational chart. I can just select them, say enter, go to sales. I can also just jump directly to that organizational chart by selecting it. My name's Dave Andrews and I've showed you how to create an agenda slide in the PowerPoint presentation."
