Creating New Presentation

1. Start MPP2010.
2. By default, MPP2010 will create a new document and assign a name “Presentation1” to it. You can check this by looking at the Title Bar.
3. Notice the content window contains the following slide layout. It consists of the Title Text Box and Subtitle Text Box.

4. Type “Nursery Rhyme” into the Title Text Box and “Introduction” into the Subtitle Text Box as follows.

5. Notice the Slides/Outlines Panel. The slide preview shows the items that have been added through the Content Window.

6. We are going to add a new slide. Right-click at the grey area within Slides/Outlines Panel. Choose New Slide.

7. A new slide is added to the document. Notice that the new slide has a different layout, i.e. Title and Text Contents.

8. Type “What is Nursery Rhyme?” into the Title Text Box and type the following text into the Content Text Box.
   The term nursery rhyme is used for "traditional" poems for young children in Britain and many other countries.

9. Add the third slide. Right-click at the Slides/Outlines Panel and choose New Slide. We are going to replace the “Title and Content” layout with “Two Content” layout. Point the mouse somewhere outside of the textbox. Right-click, choose Layout and then choose “Two Content”.

10. The new layout will look as follows.

11. Type “Nursery rhymes and education” into the Title Text Box. Type the following texts into the right Content Text Box.

Research supports the assertion that music and rhyme increase a child's ability in spatial reasoning, which leads to greater success in school in the subjects of mathematics and science.

12. We are done with basic slide content preparation. Click the Save Shortcut button.

13. We would like to run a slideshow now. Click the first slide in Slides/Outlines Panel. Click the Slideshow button located at the viewing panel at the bottom of the application window.

14. The slideshow output will look like below. You can use mouse click to move to next slide. You can also use up and down arrow key to move back and forth.

15. Save the document.
