Before you start...

• You should not alter this file. It is your
  template for other work.
• Save a copy ltsave asgt
• Then open your new copy and use it to work.
• Oddly, you will be using this file to compose
  diagrams, not present them.

Now would be good

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.

5
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 ltDuplicate
  Slidegt from the ltInsertgt menu
• Simply grab the objects and drag them into place.
  
• Duplicate objects with ltCmd-Dgt, flip objects with
  the ltDraw Menugt
• 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 ltGroupgt
  from the ltDrawinggt 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 ltSave Asgt a GIF
  file. Then you can make it a transparent GIF in a
  graphics file.
