LAB # 02
Statement Purpose:
‘This lab will provide a hands-on experience of Microsoft PowerPoint, It is a software
package used to display information in the form of a slide show. A slide show is a
presentation of a series of still images on a projection screen or electronic display device,
typically in a prearranged sequence, Some basic features and functions of MS PowerPoint,
which are mostly used for creating slideshow presentations, shall be taught and practiced.
Activity Outcomes:
‘The lab will teach students to prepare different presentations by:
‘+ Using different slide layouts and inserting multiple slides in a slide show
Inserting text and drawing, just as you have been taught in Lab 01
Creating and formatting tables
Inserting pictures, headers/footers, word art, etc
Drawing various diagrams, using built-in shapes
Using different design options, such as slide orientation, themes, etc.
Adding Transitions to slides and setting style and timing of cach transition
‘* Adding Animation to the slides
Instructor Note:
Asa pre-lab activity, read Chapters1B and 10 from the book (Introduction to Computers by
Peter Norton, 6* edition (2013), McGraw Hill) to gain an insight about computer software,

Introduction
PowerPoint presentations consist of a number of individual pages or "slides". The
ide” analogy is a reference to the slide projector. Slides may contain text, graphics,
sound, movies, and other objects, which may be arranged freely. The presentation can
be printed, displayed live on a computer, or navigated through at the command of the
presenter. For larger audiences the computer display is often a video projector. Slides
can also form the basis of webcasts.
PowerPoint provides three types of movements:
* Entrance, emphasis, and exit of elements on a slide itself are controlled by what
PowerPoint calls Custom Animations.
Transitions, on the other hand, are movements between slides
animated in a variety of ways.
* Custom animation can be used to create small story boards by animating pictures
to enter, exit or move,

Lab Activities:
Activity 1:
Start MS PowerPoit
Solution:
1. Click the Start button
2, Click on Microsoft Office PowerPoint on the Programs menu. If you don’t see it
there, go to Microsoft Office group first.
3. Once you run the program, you will get a new window on the right side of the
screen with several sections. Each section has different options.
‘The main part of the screen is divided into two sections. The main section shows the
current slide, while on the left, slide miniatures appear, allowing you to see the
current slide in its context.
(CSC101 -Lab Manual 24 In the top left corner of the screen is the Quick Access Toolbar which contains icons
to common commands, eg. save and undo, Below this is the Ribbon, with tabs along
the top. Each tab has a set of icons which are used to give instructions to
PowerPoint. Currently the HOME tab is displayed.
At the very bottom of the window, is the Status Bar. This shows various information,
eg, which slide you are currently looking at (here you are on slide 1) and the
Tanguage you're working in. On the right-hand side of the Status Bar are icons to
change the view of the slides and to zoom in or out.

point, it's also worth doing a spell check on your presentation - to do this, move to the
REVIEW tab and then click on the [Spelling and Grammar] button on the left.
Activity 17:
Use guides, gridlines and rulers again.
Solution:
When creating your slides, the placeholders have largely been left in their default
positions. Often, people move them around slightly, usually to cram extra information
onto a slide, This isn’t good practice - not only do you end up with too much on a slide
but the consistency of layout is lost. If you do need to do this then it’s better to do so on
the Master Slide (see later) but it also helps if you display the Rulers and Guides. To do
this:
1. Right click on a slide and choose Ruler - a ruler appears at the top andlleft
2. Right click again and this time choose Grid and Guide - the following dialog box

Delete and Hide slides.
Solution:
It's easiest to delete slides in Slide Sorter view (though you can also do so in Normal
view), especially if you have a lot of slides to deal with:
1. Click on the [SlideSorter] button (either on the Status Bar or VIEW tab)
2. Click on the slide to be deleted (eg. slide 4, Training Topics) then press the
key
3. Toreinstate the deleted slide (you were just practising), press for
[Undo]
You might want to temporarily hide a slide - for example, if you are giving the
presentation to a different group of people for whom that slide is not appropriate. You
could also have extra hidden slides which you could add in if you had plenty of time or if
someone asked a particular question during the show. When a slide is hidden it remains
within the PowerPoint file, but is not displayed during the presentation. To hide a slide:
4. Right click on the slide to be hidden (in Normal View you have to right click on
the slide miniature)
5. From the shortcut menu choose Hide Slide - you'll find that the number
mnderneath the slide now has a line through it indicating that it’shidden

Activity 19:
Instead of simply moving abruptly from one slide to another during a presentation, slide
transitions allow slides to dissolve into each other, using a variety of different special
effects. These can make your on-screen presentation look even better and more
professional. Use different effects in your presentation.
Solutio
1. Check you are in Normal view and that the first slide is selected
2. Move to the TRANSITIONS tab to see the following ribbon:
Sia SB ee 8 BB 8 OSS
Dominating the ribbon is the Transition to This Slide group. As you click on an
icon, you'll see the transition effect on the slide (there is also a down arrow that
will show you all the different transition effects in one window). The [Effect
Options] button lets you change the direction of the effect. Timing (the group to
the right) lets you change the speed of the transition effects
3. Choose one of the transition effects for the first slide (the [down] arrow shows
all the effects).Note that a small star symbol appears to the left of the firstslide
(CSC101 -Lab Manual 39 miniature - this indicates that a transition has been setup on this slide. Explore
the options.
4. Click on [Effect Options] and change the direction of the effect
5, Increase the Duration of the transition to slow it down and see the effect more
clearly.
6. You can also set up a Sound: but note that the speakers might have been disabled
on the Lab PCs
7. Another useful feature moves on a slide automatically (without you having to
click the mouse button):Under Advance Slide, set the next slide to appear After:
a set number of seconds
8 Move to the next slide and repeat steps 3 to 7, choosing different effects
9. Finally save your presentation (press ) then run it () to see the
effects - press when you've seen enough
Having different transition effects between slides may add interest but it isn't good
practice, It distracts from the talk and isn’t good for accessibility, It’s best to stick to one
transition throughout (and only use a different one for effect, if you need to). To
standardize the transition:
10, Remove the current effects by choosing [None] (the first in the list) then click on
[Apply to All]
11. Next, choose your preferred transition (repeat steps 3 to 7) then click on [Apply
to All]
12, Finally, press to see the effects
Activity 20:
PowerPoint allows information on your slides to appear one item at a time. This stops
your audience from reading ahead of you, making them concentrate on each point
individually. Try to animate a set of bullet points.
Solution:
1. Move to the ANIMATIONS tab then click on a slide with a bulleted list on it (e.g
slide 2)
te x se |e Stem |
2, Click on the bullet points then move the mouse over the Animations icons and
watch the effects

6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 for another slide with bullet points, choosing a different

‘Tip: As with slide transition, it isn’t a good idea to use too many different animations as
they can distract the viewer. Always bear accessibility in mind and avoid some of the
more ‘exciting’ animations.

Tip: You can also set up Exit effects and MotionPaths - for example, when the slide is
finished, you can get the picture to exit along a particular motion path. This is all done
via the [Add Animation] button (as above)
