 Assignment 7 - Producing a Slide Show

For this assignment you will need to download 07 PPT Lesson.ppt and save it on your computer

In Microsoft PowerPoint, you can display presentations on your computer monitor using Slide Show view. Slide Show uses your computer like a projector to display a presentation on one or two monitors using the full screen or, using special hardware, on an overhead screen. To make your slide shows more exciting and engaging, you can add animation to text and graphics on the slide to display during a slide show. As you present a slide show, you can also take notes to document discussion points that members of your audience express during the presentation.
In this exercise, you use various keyboard and mouse techniques to navigate your slide show.
Start PowerPoint, if necessary, click the Open button on the Standard toolbar, navigate to the folder where you saved the 07 PPT Lesson file. Save the file as Contoso Company Pres 07 in the same folder.
Click the Slide Show button.
PowerPoint displays the first slide in the presentation
Click anywhere on the screen, or press the Spacebar. The slide show advances to the next slide.
Move the mouse to display the pointer. The popup toolbar displays in the bottom-left corner of the slide.
Click the Next button on the popup toolbar. The slide show advances to slide 3.
On the popup toolbar, click the Navigation button. A shortcut menu displays, as shown in the following illustration, giving you multiple options for navigating in the presentation.
On the shortcut menu, point to Go To Slide, and then click 9 Relationships. Slide 9 appears in Slide Show view.
Right-click anywhere on the screen, point to Go To Slide, and then click 14 Contoso, Ltd. Right-clicking displays the same navigation shortcut menu that you open when you click the Navigation button on the popup toolbar. You have now displayed the last slide in the presentation.
Click the screen. Slide 1 appears in Normal view. Now you will start the slide show from a slide other than slide 1.
Click slide 3 in the Slides tab of the Outline/Slides pane.
Click the Slide Show button.
The slide show starts by displaying slide 3.
On the popup toolbar, click the Previous button. Slide 2 displays.
Right-click anywhere on the screen, and then click End Show or press Esc. Slide 2, the current slide in the slide show, appears in Normal view.
During a slide show presentation, you can annotate slides by drawing freehand lines and shapes to emphasize a point or by highlighting portions of the text. Annotating a slide can help you make your points more forcefully or draw attention to issues you want your audience to consider more closely.
Annotating slides during a slide show
Now that you are more comfortable working in Slide Show view, you will practice marking on a slide to test the annotation tools.
Drag the scroll box to slide 8, and then click the Slide Show button. PowerPoint displays the current slide in the presentation.
Move the mouse pointer to display the popup toolbar, and then click the Pointer button. The Pointer shortcut menu displays PowerPoint’s annotation options.
Click Highlighter. The pointer changes to a thick vertical bar in the current ink color.
Drag the highlighter pointer over the word “Creation” in the first bullet. The text is highlighted, just as if you were using an ink highlighter on a printed page.
Right-click anywhere on the slide, point to Pointer Options, point to Ink Color, and click the red color on the palette. You have changed the ink color to red.
Click the Pointer button on the popup toolbar, click Felt Tip Pen, and then draw a line under the word “Implementation.” You can see how this may help add impact as your presentation.
Click the Pointer button on the popup toolbar, and then click Erase All Ink On Slide.
All annotations are erased.
Press Esc twice.  The slide show ends, and PowerPoint displays slide 8 in Normal view.
Setting Slide Transitions
Transition effects help your presentation make more of an impact by varying the way one slide replaces another. A slide transition is the visual effect of a slide as it moves on and off the screen during a slide show. Slide transitions include such effects as Checkerboard Across, Cover Down, Cut, and Split Vertical Out. Use the Slide Transition task pane to apply a slide transition effect, set the transition speed and transition sound, and determine settings for advancing a slide. You can set a transition for one slide or a group of slides by first selecting the slides in Slide Sorter view or in the Slides tab in Normal view and then applying the transition. Use Apply To All Slides to apply the settings to all slides in the presentation.
In this exercise, you apply a slide transition effect to a single slide, apply a transition to multiple slides, change the transition speed, and then remove all transitions.
Click the Slide Sorter View button, and then select slide 1.
On the Slide Sorter toolbar, click the Slide Transition button.
The Slide Transition task pane appears with current slide transition options.
Under Apply To Selected Slides, scroll down, and then click Dissolve. PowerPoint previews the transition effect on the slide miniature for slide 1 in Slide Sorter view and places a transition symbol below the lower-left corner of the slide. The symbol indicates that PowerPoint has applied a slide transition effect to this slide.
Click the transition symbol below slide 1. PowerPoint demonstrates the Dissolve transition effect on slide 1. Now you will apply another transition effect to the other slides in the presentation.
On the Edit menu, click Select All. All of the slides in the presentation are selected. You need to deselect slide 1 because a transition has already been applied to it.
Hold down Ctrl, and then click slide 1 to deselect it. Slide 1 is deselected, but all other slides remain selected.
In the Slide Transition task pane, under Apply To Selected Slides, scroll down and then click Random Bars Horizontal. The slide miniatures demonstrate the transition effect.
Under Modify Transition, click the Speed down arrow, and then click Medium. PowerPoint applies the transition effect to the selected slides. Notice that all of the slides have a transition symbol below their left corners.
Click the Slide Show button. Slide Show view displays slide 2 with the Random Bars Horizontal effect.
Click the mouse several times to advance through the slides and watch the transition effect, and then press Esc to end the slide show.  PowerPoint returns you to Slide Sorter view.
Press Ctrl+A to select all the slides.
In the Slide Transition task pane, under Apply To Selected Slides, scroll up and click No Transition, and then click a blank area of the presentation window.
PowerPoint removes the transition effect from all of the slides
In the Slide Transition task pane, click the Close button to close the task pane.
Animating Slides
You can make a slide show more exciting and engaging by adding animation to the text and objects on your slides. You can apply a wide variety of animation effects to almost every object on a slide, including text placeholders, pictures, tables, charts and their individual series, and shapes you have drawn on the slide. Not only are the animation effects visually interesting, they allow you to control how you want to display the objects during the presentation. For example, you can apply an effect to a title that causes it to spin around when you click the mouse button during the show, or you can control a chart’s elements so that you can display the data one column at a time
You will start the process of animating slides by applying Animation Schemes to several slides in the presentation.
In Slide Sorter view, select slide 8.
On the Slide Show menu, click Animation Schemes.
The Slide Design task pane opens with a selection of Animation Schemes.
In the Slide Design task pane, under Apply To Selected Slides, click Fade In All. PowerPoint applies the animation effect to the slide. An animation symbol appears below the left corner of slide 8.
Click slide 2, hold down Shift, and then click slides 3 and 4. Slides 2, 3, and 4 are selected.
In the Slide Design task pane, under Apply To Selected Slides, click Faded Wipe. PowerPoint applies the animation effect to all three slides. An animation symbol appears below the left corner of each slide.
With slide 2 selected, click the Slide Show button. As the slide show starts, the slide 2 title fades into view. On a slide that has an Animation Scheme applied, the title displays automatically, but you have to click to display the other items.
Click the mouse button to display each bullet item. As you click, each bullet item fades into view.
Press Esc to stop the slide show. You return to Slide Sorter view.
You have applied an Animation Scheme to a few slides in the presentation. In this exercise, you use the Custom Animation options to animate text on several other slides.
In Slide Sorter view, double-click slide 1 to switch to Normal view.
On the Slide Show menu, click Custom Animation.
The Custom Animation task pane opens with the text prompt Select An Element Of The Slide, Then Click “Add Effect” To Add Animation.
Click the title text “Give Your Image Impact,” and then click Add Effect in the Custom Animation task pane. The Add Effect submenu appears with four effect categories: Entrance, Emphasis, Exit, and Motion Paths.
Point to Entrance, and then click Fly In. The animation effect is demonstrated on slide 1. In the Custom Animation task pane, the title text (item 1) and a description of the effect appear in the Animation Order list. A small number 1 displays to the left of the title placeholder to indicate an effect has been applied to the title.
C
lick the subtitle text “Contoso, Ltd.”
In the Custom Animation task pane, click Add Effect, point to Emphasis, and then click Spin.
The animation effect is demonstrated. In the Custom Animation task pane, the subtitle text (item 2) and a description of the effect appear in the Animation Order list. This list shows effects for the current slide only.
In the Custom Animation task pane, click the first animated item in the Animation Order list to select it. A down arrow appears when the item is selected.
Click the down arrow, and then click Effect Options to display the Fly In dialog box. The Fly In (the current effect) dialog box appears, showing the Effect tab.
Click the Animate Text down arrow, and then click By Word. This option animates the selected text one word at a time.
Click OK. The dialog box closes and the revised effect previews on the slide.
In the Custom Animation task pane under Modify: Fly In, click the Start down arrow, and then click With Previous. The animation effect is now set to play without having to click the screen during the slide show.
Click the Slide Show button to start the slide show and view the new animation effects. The title appears one word at a time.
Click the screen to spin the subtitle, and then press Esc to end the Slide Show.
Click the Next Slide button three times to advance to slide 4.
The animation effects in the Animation Order list were supplied by the Animation Scheme you applied in the last exercise.
In the Custom Animation task pane, click the second animated item in the Animation Order list, click the down arrow, and then click Effect Options. The Fade dialog box appears.
Click the Text Animation tab, click the Group Text down arrow, and then click By 2nd Level Paragraphs. This option sets the text to animate the first- and second-level paragraph lines separately.
Click OK. The Fade dialog box closes, and the effect is demonstrated. Each bullet item and subitem appears separately.
At the bottom of the Custom Animation task pane, click Slide Show. The title fades in.
Click the screen to display each bullet item, and then press Esc to end the slide show.
Animating Slide Objects
In addition to animating text in a slide show, you can customize the animation of slide objects, such as pictures or drawn objects. As with text, to set custom animation effects, you must be in Normal view. If an object includes text, you have an additional choice. The default is for the object and its text to be animated at the same time. If you want, however, you can animate only the text so that it flies into the stationary shape, for example.
In this exercise, you animate slide objects and change the order in which objects animate.
In Normal view, drag the scroll box to slide 6.
Drag the mouse to draw a selection marquee around the three shapes and the connectors. 
All five objects are selected
In the Custom Animation task pane, click Add Effect, point to Entrance, click More Effects, click Peek In, and then click OK. The three objects and two connector lines are animated with the same effect. The number 1 appears next to each of the five parts to show that they will all take place at the same time.
At the bottom of the Custom Animation task pane, click the Slide Show button, and then click the screen. The three objects and connector lines appear all at once.
Press Esc to end the slide show.
Because the current animation effect isn’t as exciting as it could be, you will now adjust the animation order and start settings to improve the effect.
In the Animation Order list, click Elbow Connector 6, click the Re-Order up arrow at the bottom of the task pane two times, click the Start down arrow, and then click After Previous. The Elbow Connector 6 animation order changes from fourth to second, and it will now start its animation after the Research shape has finished its animation.
In the Animation Order list, click Elbow Connector 7, click the Re- Order up arrow once, click the Start down arrow, and then click After Previous. The Elbow Connector 7 animation order changes from fifth to fourth.
In the Animation Order list, click Bevel 4: Recognition, click the Start down arrow, and then click After Previous. The Recognition shape will not animate until after the first connector has finished.
In the Animation Order list, click Bevel 5: Relax, click the Start down arrow, and then click After Previous. This object will animate after the previous object has finished.
At the bottom of the Custom Animation task pane, click the Slide Show button, and then click the screen to view the revised animation. The objects and connector lines appear one after another from top to bottom.
Press Esc to end the slide show.
Animating Chart Objects
You can also enhance a presentation by animating charts that are created with Microsoft Graph or imported from Microsoft Excel. For example, you can animate each data series in a chart to appear at a different time. This allows you to control the flow of information to the audience to add dramatic effect. To complete your animation task, you will animate the chart to make its appearance more dramatic.
Scroll down to slide 12.
Click the chart object to select it.
In the Custom Animation task pane, click Add Effect, point to Entrance, and then click Blinds.
The Blinds effect is applied to the entire chart. Now you will modify settings to control the display of each data series column.
In the Animation Order list, select the chart effect, click the down arrow, and click Effect Options. The Blinds dialog box opens.
Click the Chart Animation tab, click the Group Chart down arrow, and click By Series. This setting displays the columns of the chart one by one as you click the mouse button.
Click OK.   In Custom Animation task pane you could click the double arrow in the shaded bar below the animation effect to see the animation effect for each part of the chart.
At the bottom of the Custom Animation task pane, click the Slide Show button, and then click the screen seven times to view the animation. As you click, the chart framework and then each data series appears on the screen.
Press Esc to end the slide show.
In the Custom Animation task pane, click the Close button to close the task pane. Done, Good job getting this far.

Hiding a Slide
When you have a number of slides on a particular subject, you may find that you don’t need to show all of them to a particular audience. If you have a presentation on the progress of putting in a new community pool, for example, you can leave out slides relating to costs when you deliver the presentation to the neighborhood children.
In this exercise, you hide a slide in the current slide show.
Click the Slide Sorter View button.
Select slide 10.
On the Slide Sorter toolbar, click the Hide Slide button.
A hide symbol appears over the slide number to indicate that the slide will be hidden in a slide show.
Select slide 9.
Click the Slide Show button, and then click anywhere on the screen.
The slide show hides slide 10 and displays slide 11.
Press P to go back to slide 9.
Right-click anywhere on the screen, point to Go To Slide, and then click (10) Planning for the Future, or press the H key to show the hidden slide.
Slides are designated as hidden with parentheses around their slide numbers. The hidden slide appears in Slide Show view.
Press Esc to end the slide show.

Only one more exercise

If you plan to present slides on a topic to more than one audience, you don’t have to create separate presentations for each audience. Instead of creating multiple, nearly identical presentations for different audiences, you can create one comprehensive presentation that includes all the slides you will need and then create custom shows that contain selected slides for each audience. This is a much more efficient way to customize a presentation than hiding slides for each audience.
For your last task in preparing your presentation, you create and edit a custom show.
In Slide Sorter view, on the Slide Show menu, click Custom Shows. The Custom Shows dialog box appears.
Click New. The Define Custom Show dialog box appears. The default custom show name is selected in the Slide Show Name box.
In the Slide Show Name box, type Contoso Custom Show 07.
In the Slides In Presentation box, click slide 1, and then click Add.
Slide 1 appears in the Slides In Custom Show box on the right.
Select and add slides 3, 4, 6, 8, 13, and 14 to the custom slide show to match the following illustration. You can hold down the Ctrl key to select multiple slides.
Click OK.  The Custom Shows dialog box appears, with the newly created custom show selected in the Custom Shows list.
Click Show.
Slide 1 of the custom show displays.
Click through all of the slides until Slide Sorter view appears, indicating the slide show is complete.
Slide Sorter view appears. Now you will edit the custom show to remove a slide.
On the Slide Show menu, click Custom Shows. The Custom Shows dialog box appears.
Verify that Contoso Custom Show 07 is selected, and then click Edit. The Define Custom Show dialog box appears
In the Slides In Custom Show box, click slide 2, and then click Remove. Slide 2 is removed from the show.
Click OK, and then click Close to close the Custom Shows dialog box.

Save and close the file. Email your completed file as an attachment to me.  Good job well done.
