PowerPoint Production

Enhancing a PowerPoint Presentation
You will be working with the presentation you created in Part 1.
1. Open Existing Presentation
Open PowerPoint Production Exam Part 1
TIP Save your work as you go. Hit Ctrl+S often.
2. Choose a Transition
a. Click on Transitions
b. Choose the Blinds transition (vertical or horizontal).
c. Set the Duration to 2.50
d. Click Apply to All
e. Click the Preview button (if you want to run the entire presentation, press F5)
a. If you run the presentation, when it is done, press ESC to get out.
At this point, if you run the presentation, you will have to click the mouse to move
between slides. We are going to add timing instead.
3. Add Timing
a. Starting with Slide 1, click the transition tab. In the timing group, uncheck On Mouse
Click for each slide and add a check on After: 00:00:00
b. On Slide 1, change the Advance Slide timing to 00:03:00 and click Apply to All – run
the presentation. Adjust the timing for each slide until it seems right to you.
Hint: your viewer should have enough time to comfortably read each slide, so they
may be slightly different. 00:03:00 is a starting point.
4. Managing Slides
a. Switch slides 3 and 4. (Font sizes will remain the same for the assigned slide –
ignore what the second criteria point in the rubric says – it is correct before this
switch occurs. I take this into account when grading.)
5. Notes & Sections
a. Add Notes to three of the slides – something you might want to say if you were
giving the presentation in person, or a note to yourself.
b. Add a section name of ‘Descriptions’ to slide 2
c. Add a section name of ‘Wrap-up’ to slide 5
6. Find & Replace
a. Find ‘good hard skills’ and replace it with ‘Good Hard Skills’.
2
b. Also on the last slide, capitalize ‘Effective’ to match the rest of the slide.
7. Printing
Note: This step is optional, if you want to print your slides for viewing. PowerPoint will not
save your print settings.
a. Go to the Backstage View (File) and select Print.
b. Set it up to print 6 slides Horizontal in landscape orientation.
8. Presenting your Slide Show
a. Run your slide show
b. Right click on the screen and select Pause
c. Right click again and practice with the pointer options.
