What You Will Learn This Week

Project 1 introduces you to starting PowerPoint and creating a presentation consisting of a title slide and single- and multi-level bulleted lists. You will learn about PowerPoint design templates, objects, and attributes. This project illustrates how to create an interesting introduction to a presentation by changing the text font style to italic and increasing font size on the title slide. Completing these tasks, you will save the presentation. Then, you will create three text slides with bulleted list, two with multi-level bullets, to explain how to meet friends in college. Next you will learn how to view the presentation in slide show view. Then, you will learn how to quit PowerPoint and how to open an existing presentation. You will use the Spelling checker to search for spelling errors. You will learn how to display the presentation in black and white. You will learn how to print hard copies of the slides in order to make handouts and overhead transparencies. Finally, you will learn how to use the PowerPoint Help system.

Project 2 introduces you to the Outline tab, clip art, and animation effects.  You will create a slide presentation on the Outline tab where you will enter all the text in the form of an outline.  You will arrange the text using the Promote and Demote buttons. Once the outline is complete, you will change slide layouts and add clip art.

After adding clip art to slides without using a content placeholder, you will move and size the clips.  You will add preset animation effects and apply animation effects to a clip. You will learn how to run an animated slide show demonstrating slide transition and animation effects.  Then, you will print the presentation outline and slides using the Print command on the File menu and e-mail the presentation.
