You should
NOT
run this presentation.
Use it in the
Power Point editor
Before you start...
• You should not alter this file. It is your
template for other work.
Now would
be good
• Save a copy <save as…>
• Then open your new copy and use it to
work.
• Oddly, you will be using this file to
compose diagrams, not present them.
Making Diagrams
• In the following slides you will find some
parts of Feynman diagrams that you can
rearrange to make your own.
• Remember, Power Point is a drawing
program not a painting program. Each
element is an object layered on the screen.
What to do...
• The idea will be to take the pre-made
objects and arrange them in a diagram

How to do it...
• When you are at the tools page, select
<Duplicate Slide> from the <Insert> menu
• Simply grab the objects and drag them into
place.
• Duplicate objects with <Cmd-D>, flip
objects with the <Draw Menu>
• Arrow keys can move a selected object
with greater precision. Alt and Control
Key can increase precision.
Hints
• Select two or more objects and choose
<Group> from the <Drawing> menus.
This will allow these objects to be treated as
one. This is good when pasting into word.
• Need a particle I did not provide? Use MS
Equation Editor by double clicking on a
previously made particle and then editing.
Closing the Eqn. Editor will update P.Point.
After you finish...
• If you do not care for the colors, double
click on an object and change the color. If
you select more than one object, you may
change all objects simultaneously.
• To save an image to disk just <Save As> a
GIF file. Then you can make it a transparent
GIF in a graphics file.
