00:00:06.619 --> 00:00:10.861
In this video, we will look at another structural
element of PowerPoint

2
00:00:11.234 --> 00:00:14.171
which will help to make your PowerPoint
slides accessible for all.

3
00:00:15.010 --> 00:00:17.294
I'm going to continue
working with the presentation

4
00:00:17.294 --> 00:00:19.485
that I used
when we were looking at the slide master,

5
00:00:20.324 --> 00:00:22.468
but this time
we're going to learn about sections.

6
00:00:23.587 --> 00:00:25.032
I'm in the Home menu

7
00:00:26.571 --> 00:00:29.601
and in the slides part of the ribbon

8
00:00:29.834 --> 00:00:31.978
I'm going to click on sections

9
00:00:34.169 --> 00:00:35.707
and I can add a section.

10
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:40.182
If I was using the keyboard,
I would use alt, H

11
00:00:40.182 --> 00:00:42.700
for home, T and 1,

12
00:00:43.212 --> 00:00:45.357
and then A for add a section.

13
00:00:46.802 --> 00:00:48.666
I can rename that section.

14
00:00:49.832 --> 00:00:52.629
So I'm going to start off
with a general section name

15
00:00:53.095 --> 00:00:59.062
which is structure,
and then I'm going to add

16
00:00:59.062 --> 00:01:00.973
in another section

17
00:01:03.957 --> 00:01:04.889
and I'm going to call

18
00:01:04.889 --> 00:01:07.033
that slide master.

19
00:01:12.441 --> 00:01:15.004
Then I'm going to add in a new slide,

20
00:01:16.450 --> 00:01:20.692
and the new slide
is going to be about sections.

21
00:01:25.633 --> 00:01:29.036
I'm going to click on that slide
and add a new section.

22
00:01:36.681 --> 00:01:38.732
I'm going to add another new slide.

23
00:01:40.550 --> 00:01:43.067
That one will be about lists.

24
00:01:43.487 --> 00:01:48.009
So these are all structural elements,
but then now I'm splitting them up

25
00:01:49.081 --> 00:01:51.458
into sections.

26
00:01:52.624 --> 00:01:54.908
Once I've done that,
I could add the content slides

27
00:01:54.908 --> 00:01:55.980
for each one.

28
00:02:01.201 --> 00:02:03.951
When I go into the presentation view,

29
00:02:05.256 --> 00:02:06.748
let's start at the beginning,

30
00:02:08.333 --> 00:02:16.258
those section headings are not visible,
but if I look at all slides

31
00:02:16.258 --> 00:02:21.432
within my presentation,
I can now explore by sections

32
00:02:22.644 --> 00:02:25.208
and decide which ones I want to look at.

33
00:02:27.539 --> 00:02:30.615
So that's another way
that somebody using a screen reader

34
00:02:30.662 --> 00:02:33.692
would be able
to navigate a big presentation.

35
00:02:34.391 --> 00:02:37.142
The more slides you have
in your presentation, the more important

36
00:02:37.142 --> 00:02:38.913
it is to use sections.

37
00:02:38.913 --> 00:02:41.757
If you've just got one topic,
you might not need them.
