Features unique to 2016 are identified below by the highlighted text New for 2016.The following are steps and techniques to get you started creating your poster in PowerPoint.
Getting StartedClick on the PowerPoint icon in the dock, or double-click on the 'Microsoft Powerpoint.app' in the Applications folder on your Macintosh. The 'Powerpoint Presentation Gallery' appears.

Or you can go to the File menu and choose 'New Presentation' or 'Open.'
.A new PowerPoint document appears. By default, it shows text entry boxes for a title slide.Above the document window, a formatting toolbar or 'ribbon' appears. Above the toolbar is a row of tabs (Home, Themes, Tables, Charts, etc.)Set up your page and work areaClick the Home tab.

For example, if you set the size at 20' X 40' and print the poster at 200%, it will end up being 40' X 80'.If you are not currently connected to a large format printer, the following dialog box may appear. Click OK if you know you will be printing it on large format printer that can print at your desired size.To make your workspace less cluttered, you may want to remove the slide thumbnails and a notes panes from your document window. You can do this by dragging the handles on the edges of these areas to the left and to the bottom, as shown below.Here is the way the work area looks without the thumbnails and notes window panes.
