    USING THE APPLICATION
Presentation software is a program designed for the production and display of
computer text and graphics, usually for presentation to a group. It is intended
primarily to replace the functions typically associated with a slide or an overhead
projector. Besides presentation software, you will need additional hardware – the data
projector – to project your presentations on a display surface (e.g. whiteboard,
screen).

MS PowerPoint comes in a variety of versions. Over the years the program has been
updated, making it more powerful and easier to use. These course notes are based on
MS PowerPoint 2003.



Opening / Closing MS PowerPoint & Presentations

To open MS PowerPoint:
    1.   Click Start button.
    2.   Select All Programs.
    3.   Click Microsoft PowerPoint.




                                                                                     1
Features of the MS PowerPoint Screen

MS PowerPoint opens in the Normal view.

         The title bar shows the name of the presentation. PowerPoint assigns your
           presentation a temporary name (e.g. Presentation1) until you save it with the
           name you choose.
         The menu bar is used to choose all commands while working in PowerPoint.
         The toolbars provide quick access to some of PowerPoint‟s commands without
           having to use a pull-down menu.
         The slide pane displays a large view of the current slide.
         The notes pane is the area where you type notes that you want to accompany
           a slide.
         The status bar, located at the bottom of the screen displays the slide number
           and the name of the slide design.



Basic Terms

A presentation is a collection of slides, audience handouts, and speaker‟s notes all in
one file.

Slides are the individual „pages‟ or overhead transparencies of the presentation.
Slides can have titles, text, charts, drawn objects and clip arts. They can be
presented on a screen or as black-and-white transparencies or as colour overhead
transparencies or 35mm slides.

A Slide show is a group of slides organised in a specific order or with a specific choice
of paths from one slide to the next.

Saving a Presentation

It is important to save your work from time to time whilst typing. When you save a
presentation for the first time, you need to give it a name. Presentation names can
have up to 255 characters including spaces. File names cannot include any of the
following characters: forward slash (/), backslash (), greater than sign (>), less than
sign (<), asterisk (*), period (.), question mark (?), quotation mark ("), pipe symbol
(|), colon (:), or semicolon (;).

To save a presentation to a location or drive:

    1.   Click Save button.




    2.   Click the drop-down arrow in the Save in: field and select the disk and/or
         folder where the presentation will be saved. By default, the file will be saved
         on Drive C: in the My Documents folder.
    3.   Type a name for your presentation in the File name: field.
    4.   Click Save button.

Note that:
        After you save a file for the first time, the filename appears in the title bar.
        When you save the file the second, third, fourth time etc. the computer will
         not ask you to input all this information again but will only update the file with
         the changes made up to that moment.
        You can save a presentation using the shortcut key combination: CTRL+S
         keys.

Magnification & Zoom Tools

The zoom feature allows you to enlarge or reduce the view of a page on
the screen. MS PowerPoint offers two ways of zooming – the zoom tool
on the standard toolbar and the zoom dialog box in the View menu.

    1.   Click Zoom control button.
    2.   Select the appropriate option. At 100%, the text and images
         are the same size they will be when you print them. Below
         100% they are smaller. Above 100%, they are bigger.

Note that:
        You can also type in any percentage value in the zoom textbox.



Built-in Toolbars

A toolbar is a row/column of buttons/icons. These buttons are used to accomplish
tasks quickly without opening menus. By default, MS PowerPoint displays three
toolbars - the Standard, Formatting and Drawing toolbars. The Standard and
Formatting toolbars are displayed on a single row.

To display the Standard and Formatting toolbars on two separate rows:
    1.   Click Tools menu.
    2.   Click Customize… The Customize dialog box will be displayed.
    3.    In the Options tab card, tick the option Show Standard and Formatting
         Toolbars on two rows.

                                                                                 7
To display additional toolbars:
    1.   Click View menu.
    2.   Select Toolbars.
    3.   Click on the toolbar to put one display. The selected toolbar is displayed on
         the screen


Toolbars are not fixed to any part of the MS PowerPoint screen – they can float.
Accordingly, you can move toolbars to any part of the screen by dragging them.




To move a floating toolbar:
    1.   Position the pointer anywhere on the title-bar of toolbar.
    2.   Drag the toolbar to any part of the screen.
    3.   Release the mouse button when the toolbar is at the desired location.


To turn a fixed toolbar into a floating toolbar:
    1.   Position the mouse pointer on an empty part i.e. an area without any buttons
         of the toolbar to detach.
    2.   Double-click the mouse.


To re-attach a floating toolbar:
    1. Position the pointer anywhere on the title-bar of toolbar.
    2. Double-click the mouse.
The toolbar moves to its home port at the top or bottom of the screen.


To hide a toolbar:
    1.   Click View menu.
    2.   Point to Toolbars. A sub-menu displaying available toolbars will be displayed.
         The toolbars which are currently displayed in MS PowerPoint will have a check
         mark.
    3.   Click the check marked toolbar to hide the toolbar.

       DEVELOPING A PRESENTATION

Changing between Presentation View Modes
You can view MS PowerPoint Presentations in different page display modes.
        1. Click View menu.
        2. Select Normal, Slide Sorter, Notes Pages or Slide Show view.

Depending on the task at hand, some views are better than others.

 Option            To Do This

 Normal            Contains three panes: the outline pane, the slide pane, and the notes pane. These
                   panes let you work on all aspects of your presentation in one place. You can adjust
                   the size of the different panes by dragging the pane borders.
 Slide Sorter      Displays a miniature version of all the slides in your presentation. You can use this
                   to check the consistency of the layout and colour scheme. You change the order of
                   slides, delete slides, add timings, and select animated transitions for moving from
                   slide to slide.
 Notes Pages       Used to add the speaker‟s or presenter‟s notes or information to be shared with the
                   audience.
 Slide Show        Used to view slides full-screen (without any menu bars), exactly as they would
                   appear projected. To exit from Slide Show view, press the ESC key.


Note that:
          You can also switch to different views using the view buttons at the bottom
           left corner of the PowerPoint screen:
                                                 Slide Sorter
                                                     View


                                Normal View                     Slide Show




Changing the Slide Layout


During this course you will be using the following slide layouts:




         Title Slide          Title & Text        Title & 2 Column            Title Only
                                                         Text




        Title & Chart        Title & Table       Text & Clip art             Organisation
                                                                                Chart


                                                                                                9
To change the layout of a slide:
     1.   Click Format menu.
     2.   Click Slide Layout…The Slide Layout task pane will be displayed.
     3.   On the Slides tab in normal view, select the slide/s you want to apply a layout
          to.
     4.   In the Slide Layout task pane, point to the layout you want, and then click it.

Note that:
         If you skip step 3, the formatting will be applied to the current slide.



Using Design Templates

You don‟t need to be a professional graphic designer to enhance the presentation of
your slides. MS PowerPoint comes with many artist-created templates. A template is
a presentation in which the masters and the colours have been especially designed for
a particular „look‟. Templates define what your text will look like and where it will
appear, and they offer a complete colour scheme.

Using the Slide Design task pane, you can preview and apply a design template to
your presentation. The template can be applied to all slides or selected slides, and you
can apply more than one type of design template in a single presentation.


To apply a design template to a presentation:
     1.   Click Slide Design button on the Formatting toolbar. The Slide
          Design task pane will be displayed.
     2.   Click Design Templates in the Slide Design task pane.
     3.   Click the template you want to apply to all the slides.

Note that:
         To apply a template to a single slide, select the thumbnail on the Slides tab; in
          the task pane, point to the template and click the arrow, and then click Apply
          to Selected Slides.
         To apply a template to multiple selected slides, select the thumbnails on the
          Slides tab, and in the task pane, click the template.
         The design templates you have applied appear below the Recently Used list in
          the Slide Design. All available design templates appear under Available for
          use.
         To change between available templates repeat steps 1-3 as above.



Changing the Background Colour

You can change the background color of a specific slide or all the slides in the
presentation. Changing the background is useful if you want to change the background
to emphasize sections of a presentation. Besides changing the color, you can add
shading, a pattern, a texture, or a picture.

To change the slide background colour:
   1. Click Format menu.
   2. Click Background... The Background dialog
      box will be displayed.
   3. Under Background fill, click the arrow on
      the right of the box, and then select the
      appropriate option.
   4. Click Apply button or Apply to All button.


Note that:
          If you click the Apply button, the background will be applied only to the active
           slide or selected slides.



Inserting New Slides

Each time you insert a new slide you will choose a speicific layout depending on the
content of the slide. Layout refers to the way content is arranged in a slide. A layout
contains placeholders, which in turn hold text such as titles and bulleted lists and slide
content such as tables, charts, pictures, shapes, and clip art.

By default the Title Slide layout will be displayed when you open a new presentation
file. This layout contains two placeholders – the main title and the subtitle placeholder.

To insert a new blank slide, do either of the following:
       1. On the Formatting toolbar, click New Slide button.
       2. In the Slide Layout task pane, click the layout you want.

Note that:
           If the insertion point is in the Outline or Slides
            tab, you can insert a new slide, by pressing
            Enter key.
           You can also insert a new slide from the Slide
            Layout task pane: point to a layout, click the
            arrow, and then click Insert New Slide.
           If you want to keep the Slide Layout task pane
            from displaying each time you click New Slide
            clear the Show when inserting new slides
            check box at the bottom of the pane.



Copying / Moving Slides

You can copy an entire slide within the same presentation file:

    1.      Click View menu.
    2.      Click Slide Sorter.

Changing Font Types & Sizes

A font is a collection of characters (letters, numerals, symbols and punctuation marks)
that have a particular design. The font size determines the size of the selected
characters. The height of a character is expressed in points (1 point = 1/72”). The
larger the number, the larger the character.

         first click the text. The placeholder border becomes hatchmarked. Point to the
         border and click. The border changes to a thick, dotted border, and it's now
         selected.

          case.
     2.   Click Format menu.
     3.   Click Change Case…

 tOGGLE cASE          Changes all uppercase letters to lowercase in the selection and vice versa.




Aligning Text

This facility is important to change the position of text in relation to the left and right
edges of the placeholder.

There are four different alignment options:


This is left-aligned text.
                                       This is centered text.
                                                                           This is right-aligned text.

This is justified text. If this text is on a line that is shorter than the paragraph width, it will
remain aligned left.




                                                                                                   19
Option         To Do This

Left           Aligns each line of the paragraph with the left edge of the placeholder, leaving a
               ragged right edge which means that there is no alignment on the right side.
Centered       Aligns each line of the paragraph between the left and right edges of the
               placeholder.
Right          Aligns each line of the paragraph with the right edge of the placeholder leaving a
               ragged left edge, which means that there is no alignment on the left side.
Justified      Aligns paragraph text so that both the left and right margins have a straight
               edge, creating blocks.



     1.   Select the text or the placeholder containing the text you want to align.
     2.   Click:

                       Alignment option       Button      Shortcut Key

        CHARTS

Creating Charts

MS PowerPoint gives you the ability to insert charts or graphs directly in your
presentation. These become particularly important when you want your audience to
visualise numeric data. Different charts may be used depending on what the numeric
data represents:
         Pie charts are used for figures representing percentages.
         Line charts are used to demonstrate a trend in numeric data.
         Bar charts are used to compare different sets of numbers.

To insert a graph in a slide:
     1.   Click Format menu.
     2.   Click Slide Layout…
     3.   Select Title & Chart Layout from the Slide Layout task
          pane.
     4.   Click OK button.
     5.   Double-click the graph placeholder.

Note that:
         MS PowerPoint displays a table containing data (a miniature spreadsheet)
          known as datasheet, and immediately below this a bar graph based on the
          table data.
         If you click outside the graph, the datasheet will disappear. Double-click the
          chart to re-display the datasheet.




A datasheet looks like a spreadsheet. Information is entered in cells, which are formed
by the intersection of rows and columns. For most types of charts each column
represents a category of data, while each row is a data series, and is marked with a
symbol – for example, a small 3-D bar – to indicate what type of chart you are
creating.

You may wish to hide a slide from being displayed during your presentation. To hide a
slide:
    1.   On the Slides tab in normal view, select the slide you want to hide.
    2.   Click Slide Show menu.
    3.   Click Hide Slide.

Note that:
        The hidden slide icon appears with the slide number inside, next to the
         slide you have hidden.
        The slide remains in your file, even though it is hidden when you run the
         presentation.


To reset a hidden slide to be viewed in a slide show:
    1.   On the Slides tab in normal view, select the hidden slide you want to make
         visible again.
    2.   Repeat steps 2-3 as above.




                                                                                      41
Spell Checking a Presentation

By default, MS PowerPoint checks the spelling of the text in your slides and
presenter‟s notes. Every single word in each slide and notes is compared to a built-in
dictionary available in MS Office. A wavy red line appears beneath words that are not
found in the dictionary.

However, at times a word can be spelled correctly yet MS PowerPoint does not find it
in its dictionary. Proper nouns (Rita), specialised terms (phototranspiration), acronyms
and abbreviations (UOM) etc. are not likely to be in the MS Office dictionary. If you do
not want MS PowerPoint to question such words during spell checks, you can add
them to a custom dictionary. In addition to spelling mistakes, MS PowerPoint also
alerts you to repeated words - for example “the the” - and words that have an unusual
pattern of capitalisation, such as “PLay”.

To use the automatic spelling check:
     1.   Right-click the mouse over the word having a wavy red underline.
     2.   A pop-up menu appears listing any suggestions Word may have about the
          correct spelling or grammar, as well as the following choices: Ignore, Delete
          repeated word, Add, and Spelling. Click any suggestion and the appropriate
          option.

You can also resolve errors without using the pop-up menu by simply editing the text.
MS PowerPoint checks the spelling of the word again as soon as you move your cursor
away from it, and if the word is now spelled correctly, the red line disappears.

To run the spelling and grammar check:
     1.   Click Spelling and Grammar button.
     2.   Click the appropriate options (refer to the following table).
     3.   Click OK button when MS PowerPoint displays a message that it has checked
          all text in the document.




Option           To Do This

Not In           Displays a possible error, such as an incorrectly spelled word, a duplicate
Dictionary       word, a grammar error, or incorrect capitalization. Edit the text in this box to
                 correct it, and then click Change, or click the correct word in the Suggestions
                 box and then click Change.
Suggestions      Lists a number of words close to the incorrectly spelled word.        Click the
                 appropriate suggestion to choose it.
Ignore           Leaves the word unchanged and continues with the checking. The spell
                 checker stops if the same word is encountered within the same document.
                 This button changes to Resume if you click in the document to edit the
                 document.

Option            To Do This

Ignore All        Leaves the word unchanged and skips any occurrences of the same word
                  within the entire document throughout the rest of the current MS PowerPoint
                  session.
Add               Adds the word in the Not In Dictionary box to the custom dictionary.
Change            Replaces the incorrectly spelled word with the highlighted word/phrase in the
                  Suggestions: box. When the selected error is a repeated word, this button
                  changes to Delete so you can easily remove the second instance of the word.
Change All        Replaces all occurrences of the same incorrectly spelled word with the
                  word/phrase in the Suggestions: box.
Autocorrect       Adds a word to the AutoCorrect list so that Word can correct any incorrect
                  spelling of it automatically as you type.


Note that:
          If the insertion point or selection was not at the beginning of your document
           when you begin checking spelling, MS PowerPoint asks if you want to continue
           checking from the beginning of the document.
          MS PowerPoint doesn't check the spelling in embedded objects such as charts
           or in inserted objects such as MS Word documents.
          If the insertion point is in the notes pane or slide pane, the spelling check
           alternates checking between the two. If the insertion point is on the Outline
           tab, all the slides are checked first, then all the notes.



Printing

Like all other computer application programs, MS PowerPoint has its printing features.
These are somewhat different from MS Word, because you can print different
components of your presentation. You can print slides, outlines, notes pages, and
handouts.

      1.   Click File menu.
      2.   Click Print... The Print dialog box will be displayed.
      3.   Select the range of slides or notes pages to be printed.
      4.   In the Copies box, type the number of copies you want to print.
      5.   Select what you want to print in the Print what: box. (refer to the table)
      6.   Choose any additional print options (refer to the table).
      7.   Click OK button.

Option                  To Do This

All                     Prints all the slides in the presentation.
Current Slide           Prints the current slide or notes page.
Selection               Prints all the slides that are currently selected.
Slides                  Prints the range of slides or notes pages you specify. If you type only
                        a beginning number, all slides or notes pages from that slide or notes
                        page will be printed. If you want to print only one slide or notes page,
                        type that slide's number in both boxes.
Handouts (2 slides      Prints two slide images per page (use for the largest images and the
per page)               greatest amount of detail).




                                                                                               43
Option                To Do This
Handouts (3 slides    Prints three slide images per page (use when you want space for
per page)             notes on one side of the page).
Handouts (6 slides    Prints six slide images per page.
per page)
Notes Pages           Prints the presenter‟s notes pages that correspond to the slide
                      numbers you request.
Outline View          Prints your outline according to how your outline appears on-screen in
                      Outline view. An outline can be formatted or unformatted (plain text)
                      and expanded or collapsed (titles only). Also, the type size depends on
                      the view scale in which you are working.
Scale To Fit Paper    Scales slides automatically to fit the paper loaded in your printer.
Frame Slides          Adds a thin frame around the border of printed slides, handouts, and
                      notes pages.
Include comment       Prints pages containing comments for all slides that contain
pages                 comments. When printing slides, all comments for a slide are printed
                      on one page. When printing handouts, a comment page contains
                      comments from all the slides on a handout page.
Print Hidden Slides   Prints all hidden slides. Otherwise, slides marked as hidden aren't
                      printed.
Pure Black &          Turns all colours fills to white, all text and lines to black, adds outlines
White                 or borders to all filled objects, and renders pictures in greyscale. This
                      option is useful when you want to print draft copies on a colour printer
                      or when you want to print very readable speaker's notes and
                      handouts.
Black & White         Turns all fills to white (or black and white, if patterned). Unbordered
                      objects that have no text appear with a thin black frame.

  • 5. ECDL Syllabus 5 Courseware Module 6  USING THE APPLICATION Presentation software is a program designed for the production and display of computer text and graphics, usually for presentation to a group. It is intended primarily to replace the functions typically associated with a slide or an overhead projector. Besides presentation software, you will need additional hardware – the data projector – to project your presentations on a display surface (e.g. whiteboard, screen). MS PowerPoint comes in a variety of versions. Over the years the program has been updated, making it more powerful and easier to use. These course notes are based on MS PowerPoint 2003. Opening / Closing MS PowerPoint & Presentations To open MS PowerPoint: 1. Click Start button. 2. Select All Programs. 3. Click Microsoft PowerPoint. 1
  • 6. Features of the MS PowerPoint Screen MS PowerPoint opens in the Normal view.  The title bar shows the name of the presentation. PowerPoint assigns your presentation a temporary name (e.g. Presentation1) until you save it with the name you choose.  The menu bar is used to choose all commands while working in PowerPoint.  The toolbars provide quick access to some of PowerPoint‟s commands without having to use a pull-down menu.  The slide pane displays a large view of the current slide.  The notes pane is the area where you type notes that you want to accompany a slide.  The status bar, located at the bottom of the screen displays the slide number and the name of the slide design. Basic Terms A presentation is a collection of slides, audience handouts, and speaker‟s notes all in one file. Slides are the individual „pages‟ or overhead transparencies of the presentation. Slides can have titles, text, charts, drawn objects and clip arts. They can be presented on a screen or as black-and-white transparencies or as colour overhead transparencies or 35mm slides. A Slide show is a group of slides organised in a specific order or with a specific choice of paths from one slide to the next. To close MS PowerPoint: 1. Click File menu. 2. Click Exit. Note that:  You can close MS PowerPoint using the shortcut key combination: ALT+F4 keys. To open an existing presentation: 1. Click Open button. 2. Click the drop-down arrow in the Look in: field and select the drive and/or folder that contain the presentation to open. 3. Double-click the presentation you want to open.

In the New section, click Blank Presentation.  You can open a new workbook using the shortcut key combination: CTRL+N keys. 3
  • 8. Saving a Presentation It is important to save your work from time to time whilst typing. When you save a presentation for the first time, you need to give it a name. Presentation names can have up to 255 characters including spaces. File names cannot include any of the following characters: forward slash (/), backslash (), greater than sign (>), less than sign (<), asterisk (*), period (.), question mark (?), quotation mark ("), pipe symbol (|), colon (:), or semicolon (;). To save a presentation to a location or drive: 1. Click Save button. 2. Click the drop-down arrow in the Save in: field and select the disk and/or folder where the presentation will be saved. By default, the file will be saved on Drive C: in the My Documents folder. 3. Type a name for your presentation in the File name: field. 4. Click Save button. Note that:  After you save a file for the first time, the filename appears in the title bar.  When you save the file the second, third, fourth time etc. the computer will not ask you to input all this information again but will only update the file with the changes made up to that moment.  You can save a presentation using the shortcut key combination: CTRL+S keys. To save an open presentation under another name: 1. Click File menu. 2. Click Save As… The Save As dialog box will be displayed. 3. Repeat steps 2-4 as above. 4

Using Design Templates You don‟t need to be a professional graphic designer to enhance the presentation of your slides. MS PowerPoint comes with many artist-created templates. A template is a presentation in which the masters and the colours have been especially designed for a particular „look‟. Templates define what your text will look like and where it will appear, and they offer a complete colour scheme. Using the Slide Design task pane, you can preview and apply a design template to your presentation. The template can be applied to all slides or selected slides, and you can apply more than one type of design template in a single presentation. To apply a design template to a presentation: 1. Click Slide Design button on the Formatting toolbar. The Slide Design task pane will be displayed. 2. Click Design Templates in the Slide Design task pane. 3. Click the template you want to apply to all the slides. Note that:  To apply a template to a single slide, select the thumbnail on the Slides tab; in the task pane, point to the template and click the arrow, and then click Apply to Selected Slides.  To apply a template to multiple selected slides, select the thumbnails on the Slides tab, and in the task pane, click the template.  The design templates you have applied appear below the Recently Used list in the Slide Design. All available design templates appear under Available for use.  To change between available templates repeat steps 1-3 as above.

  • 46. Spell Checking a Presentation By default, MS PowerPoint checks the spelling of the text in your slides and presenter‟s notes. Every single word in each slide and notes is compared to a built-in dictionary available in MS Office. A wavy red line appears beneath words that are not found in the dictionary. However, at times a word can be spelled correctly yet MS PowerPoint does not find it in its dictionary. Proper nouns (Rita), specialised terms (phototranspiration), acronyms and abbreviations (UOM) etc. are not likely to be in the MS Office dictionary. If you do not want MS PowerPoint to question such words during spell checks, you can add them to a custom dictionary. In addition to spelling mistakes, MS PowerPoint also alerts you to repeated words - for example “the the” - and words that have an unusual pattern of capitalisation, such as “PLay”. To use the automatic spelling check: 1. Right-click the mouse over the word having a wavy red underline. 2. A pop-up menu appears listing any suggestions Word may have about the correct spelling or grammar, as well as the following choices: Ignore, Delete repeated word, Add, and Spelling. Click any suggestion and the appropriate option. You can also resolve errors without using the pop-up menu by simply editing the text. MS PowerPoint checks the spelling of the word again as soon as you move your cursor away from it, and if the word is now spelled correctly, the red line disappears. To run the spelling and grammar check: 1. Click Spelling and Grammar button. 2. Click the appropriate options (refer to the following table). 3. Click OK button when MS PowerPoint displays a message that it has checked all text in the document. Option To Do This Not In Displays a possible error, such as an incorrectly spelled word, a duplicate Dictionary word, a grammar error, or incorrect capitalization. Edit the text in this box to correct it, and then click Change, or click the correct word in the Suggestions box and then click Change. Suggestions Lists a number of words close to the incorrectly spelled word. Click the appropriate suggestion to choose it. Ignore Leaves the word unchanged and continues with the checking. The spell checker stops if the same word is encountered within the same document. This button changes to Resume if you click in the document to edit the document. 42
  • 47. ECDL Syllabus 5 Courseware Module 6 Option To Do This Ignore All Leaves the word unchanged and skips any occurrences of the same word within the entire document throughout the rest of the current MS PowerPoint session. Add Adds the word in the Not In Dictionary box to the custom dictionary. Change Replaces the incorrectly spelled word with the highlighted word/phrase in the Suggestions: box. When the selected error is a repeated word, this button changes to Delete so you can easily remove the second instance of the word. Change All Replaces all occurrences of the same incorrectly spelled word with the word/phrase in the Suggestions: box. Autocorrect Adds a word to the AutoCorrect list so that Word can correct any incorrect spelling of it automatically as you type. Note that:  If the insertion point or selection was not at the beginning of your document when you begin checking spelling, MS PowerPoint asks if you want to continue checking from the beginning of the document.  MS PowerPoint doesn't check the spelling in embedded objects such as charts or in inserted objects such as MS Word documents.  If the insertion point is in the notes pane or slide pane, the spelling check alternates checking between the two. If the insertion point is on the Outline tab, all the slides are checked first, then all the notes. Printing Like all other computer application programs, MS PowerPoint has its printing features. These are somewhat different from MS Word, because you can print different components of your presentation. You can print slides, outlines, notes pages, and handouts. 1. Click File menu. 2. Click Print... The Print dialog box will be displayed. 3. Select the range of slides or notes pages to be printed. 4. In the Copies box, type the number of copies you want to print. 5.

Option To Do This All Prints all the slides in the presentation. Current Slide Prints the current slide or notes page. Selection Prints all the slides that are currently selected. Slides Prints the range of slides or notes pages you specify. If you type only a beginning number, all slides or notes pages from that slide or notes page will be printed. If you want to print only one slide or notes page, type that slide's number in both boxes. Handouts (2 slides Prints two slide images per page (use for the largest images and the per page) greatest amount of detail). 43
  • 48. Option To Do This Handouts (3 slides Prints three slide images per page (use when you want space for per page) notes on one side of the page). Handouts (6 slides Prints six slide images per page. per page) Notes Pages Prints the presenter‟s notes pages that correspond to the slide numbers you request. Outline View Prints your outline according to how your outline appears on-screen in Outline view. An outline can be formatted or unformatted (plain text) and expanded or collapsed (titles only). Also, the type size depends on the view scale in which you are working. Scale To Fit Paper Scales slides automatically to fit the paper loaded in your printer. Frame Slides Adds a thin frame around the border of printed slides, handouts, and notes pages. Include comment Prints pages containing comments for all slides that contain pages comments. When printing slides, all comments for a slide are printed on one page. When printing handouts, a comment page contains comments from all the slides on a handout page. Print Hidden Slides Prints all hidden slides. Otherwise, slides marked as hidden aren't printed. Pure Black & Turns all colours fills to white, all text and lines to black, adds outlines White or borders to all filled objects, and renders pictures in greyscale. This option is useful when you want to print draft copies on a colour printer or when you want to print very readable speaker's notes and handouts. Black & White Turns all fills to white (or black and white, if patterned). Unbordered objects that have no text appear with a thin black frame. 44
