Recording Narration in PowerPoint 2007

Benefits of recording narration in PowerPoint slides:

• A recorded PowerPoint presentation can be played back by students at any time from any location if stored in an accessible location, such as myWPI.
• Students can review the presentation over and over again until they grasp the content.

Recording Narration

1. Open your presentation in PowerPoint.
2. From the menu bar, select Slide Show and press the Record Slide Show button.
   
   
3. The Record Slide Show box appears. You can choose what types of recording you want to do. Recording slide timing will remember how long you took on each slide. Make sure that the second option is clicked in or
   
   
4. Start Recording to begin recording. The slide show will begin. Speak into the microphone to record your voice. Click to advance each slide as you would if you were presenting live.

   Note

   By default, you will record your narrations starting from the first slide. To start narrations later, click on the bottom part of the Record Slide Show button and select the second option.

5. When the slide show is done, you will be returned to the powerpoint. Start the slide show to make sure that everything recorded correctly. If you don't like the narration, click on the bottom part of the Record Slide Show button and use the Clear feature to remove narrations and timings.
