Adding
a 'Build Up' or Slide Animation
When using a slide with bullet lines it may be distracting to
the audience to present all of them at one time. PowerPoint contains
a facility to build up the lines with a timed delay or manual
prompting.
Move
to Slide 5 of the CIT slide show. Choose the Slide Show menu and
select Slide Transitions.
Under
the Effect box, alter the Option Box displaying 'No Transition'
and choose one of the examples, for instance 'Checkerboard Across'.
Run the slide show to see the effect. Press Esc on the keyboard
to return to slide design and try other effects eg. 'Fly from
Top'.
Slide Show
Master
A master slide's layout is applied to all other slides in the
presentation.
Choose
the Format menu and select Background for a dialog box to change
the colour and shading styles of the master. Click on the small
drop-down arrow, then select More Colours from the Colour Picker,
then Fill Effects to alter shading etc.
Choose
the Format menu and select Presentation template for a dialog
box to change the master to another design. Alter the slide colour.
Select Format then Slide Colour Scheme.
The Pointer
Feature
Rather than use a pointer or stick to point out certain features
on a slide during a presentation there another option in PowerPoint
- the slide show marker.
During
the slide show you can move the mouse and the normal mouse arrow
will appear giving an on-screen pointer.
When
the mouse arrow appears, a small icon appears in the right hand
bottom corner of the screen - the freehand drawing tool. Clicking
on this icon gives a pen option.
Dragging
the pen cursor will cause it to draw a free hand line. In this
mode the small icon appearing in the right-hand bottom corner
of the screen now becomes an arrow and clicking on this will return
the cursor to the pointer mode.
