如果您想要Microsoft PowerPoint的免费替代品，您不必看得太远，因为那里有多种选择。但是，我们将只关注Google 幻灯片(Google Slides)，这是一个非常好的在线工具，任何人都可以轻松地创建演示文稿。
如何制作Google 幻灯片(Google Slide)演示文稿
现在，让我们在此澄清有关此Google 幻灯片(Google Slides)工具的一件事。这是一个穷人的PowerPoint；因此，用户不应该期待很多很酷的功能。所见即所得，对于只需要创建基本演示文稿的用户来说，这不是什么大问题。
此外，您还需要有一个Google帐户。对于那些不愿意创建Google 帐户(Google Account)的人，我们建议使用LibreOffice Draw，因为它是次佳选择。
- 设置您的 Google 幻灯片文档
- 了解导航栏
- 更改主题
- 从默认字体更改字体
- (Add Transitions)为您的演示文稿添加过渡
让我们更详细地讨论这个问题。
1]设置(Set)您的谷歌幻灯片(Google Slides)文档
您要采取的第一步是设置您的文档。我们可以通过打开Google 幻灯片(Google Slides)网站来做到这一点，并确保使用您的Google帐户凭据登录。如果您已经在Google Drive中，请点击New > Google Slides > From a template开始该过程。
首先，可以使用空白模板，但由于本文是教程，我们将从可用选项列表中选择一个。
选择模板后，您可以选择对其进行设计以使其更加个性化或保持原样。但是我们不会走枯燥的路线，因此，我们将讨论如何对设计进行一些更改。
2]了解导航栏
导航栏很重要，因为它包含大量您在创建演示文稿时可能想要使用的工具和功能。现在，导航栏的主要方面是Files、Edit和View。Insert也是最常用的方法之一，因为将图像添加到幻灯片需要使用Insert。
在“文件(File)”选项下，用户会遇到许多用于创建Google 幻灯片(Google Slides)演示文稿的基本工具。
当需要控制单个页面时，编辑(Edit)部分是您最好的选择。在此部分中，您可以执行复制、粘贴、剪切、重做、撤消等操作。
就“查看”(View)选项而言，您可以在此处更改查看幻灯片的方式。您甚至还可以从此部分添加动画。我们将在以后的文章中解释如何使用动画，因此请注意这一点。
现在，当涉及到在幻灯片中插入文件、图片、视频或任何您想要的内容时，只需单击“插入(Insert)”选项卡。
用户可以通过导航栏(Navigation Bar)使用其他几种工具，因此请查看它们以了解它们对创建演示文稿的帮助程度。
3]改变主题
演示文稿的内容不是说明主题全部内容的唯一因素，还有它的外观。这就是为什么拥有一个好的主题很重要。您应该能够通过位于幻灯片(Slide)右侧的主题(Themes)窗格看到选项列表。
从列表中选择(Select)任何一个，以显着改变您在Google 幻灯片(Google Slide)中的演示文稿的外观。
4]从默认字体更改字体(Change)
为您的文档使用默认字体并不总是一个好主意，这就是为什么有时您需要稍微混合一下的原因。
要更改字体，请在您要输入的区域内单击，然后从顶部的菜单中选择字体图标。将出现一个下拉菜单，其中包含您可以选择的几种字体。
5]在您的演示文稿中添加过渡(Add Transitions)
没有过渡，演示文稿是不完整的，谷歌幻灯片(Google Slides)肯定支持这样的选项，所以没有什么可担心的。
为此，用户必须右键单击幻灯片，然后选择“过渡(Transition)”并选择最适合您的演示要求的幻灯片。
至此，我们完成了创建演示文稿的基础知识。我们可能会在以后进入更高级的方法，敬请期待。
How to make a Google Slide presentation
If you want a free alternative to Microsoft PowerPoint, you won’t haνe to look far because there аrе several optiоns out therе. Howеver, we are going to fоcυs solеly on Google Slides, a pretty good online tool where anyone can create presentations with ease.
How to make a Google Slide presentation
Now, let us make one thing clear here about this Google Slides tool. It is a poor man’s PowerPoint; therefore, users should not go in expecting a lot of cool features. What you see is what you’ll get, which couldn’t be too much of a problem for users who just need to create a basic presentation.
Additionally, you will need to have a Google account. For those who are unwilling to create a Google Account, then we suggest using LibreOffice Draw because it is the next best thing.
- Set up your Google Slides document
- Understand the navigation bar
- Change the theme
- Change your font from the default one
- Add Transitions to your presentation
Let us discuss this in more detail.
1] Set up your Google Slides document
The first step you will want to take is to set up your document. We can do this by opening the Google Slides website and be sure to log-in using your Google account credentials. If you’re already in Google Drive, please click on New > Google Slides > From a template to begin the process.
It is possible, to begin with, a blank template, but since this article is a tutorial, we will choose one from the list of options available.
After selecting a template, you can choose to design it to make it more personal or leave it as it is. But we won’t take the boring route, therefore, we will discuss how to make a few changes to the design.
2] Understand the navigation bar
The navigation bar is important because it contains a ton of tools and features you may want to make use of when creating a presentation. Now, the primary aspects of the navigation bar are Files, Edit, and View. Insert is also one of the most used as well since adding images to a Slide requires the use of Insert.
Under the File option, users will come across many of the basic tools for creating a Google Slides presentation.
When it is time to control individual pages, then the Edit section is your best bet here. From this section, you can perform such actions as copy, paste, cut, redo, undo, etc.
In terms of the View option, this is where you can change how a slide is viewed. You can even add Animations from this section as well. We will explain how to work with Animations in a future article so look out for that.
Now, when it comes down to inserting files, pictures, videos, or whatever you want into a slide, simply click the Insert tab.
There are several other tools available to the user via the Navigation Bar, so have a look at them to see how well they can aid in the creation of your presentation.
3] Change the theme
The content of a presentation is not the only factor that tells what the topic is all about, but also its looks. This is why it is important to have a good theme. You should be able to see a list of options via the Themes pane located on the right side of the Slide.
Select any one from the list to dramatically change the look of your presentation in Google Slide.
4] Change your font from the default one
Using the default font for your document is not always a good idea, which is why at times you need to mix things up a little.
To change the font, please click inside of the area where you’re going to type, then select the font icon from the menu at the top. A dropdown menu will appear with several fonts you can choose from.
5] Add Transitions to your presentation
A presentation is not complete without the transitions, and Google Slides definitely support such options so there is nothing much to worry about.
In order to do this, the user must right-click on a slide, then select Transition and choose the one that best fits your presentation requirements.
With that, we are done with the basics of creating a presentation. We will likely go into more advanced methods at a later date so stay tuned for that.
