ELECTRONIC, PRESENTATION TOOL, Objectives, After completing this Chapter, the, student will be able to:, , "Projected slides should be as visual as possible, and support your points quickly, efficiently and, powerfully.", , • design different types of slides,, • recognise type of views of, presentation,, , 5, Garr Reynolds, , (Associate Professor of Management at Kansai Gaidai, University), , • insert graphics, audio and video, in a presentation,, • copy and move text and slides, within and between presentation, files,, • apply designs in slides, adding, animation effects to the text,, • add slide transition effects, and, hyper linking,, • create action buttons,, • run a slide show and, • pack a presentation file to run it, on a computer not having the, presentation software., , Introduction, For our school exhibition, we want to prepare an, exhibit on any current issue – global warming, drug, abuse or child labour. We could prepare our exhibit, in the conventional way, i.e. by using static tools,, like charts and posters and maybe some visual, images. Imagine the impact if, instead of the, charts, we have music, moving objects and, graphics displaying the message., The objective of the exhibition is to make our, message understood and remembered by others., An average human being has a very short attention, span. Audio-visual aids can make presentations, more interesting, dynamic and effective. Therefore,, we can make it more interesting and attention, seeking by making the characters move/dance,, use pictures/charts/graphics, play music or show, video. Thus we manage to create a much better, impression. How can we do this?

Computers and Communication Technology, , 5.1 AN ELECTRONIC PRESENTATION, An electronic presentation program is used to display information., This information is normally displayed in the form of a slide show –, the information is shown on a slide which is viewed on a computer's, monitor, or beamed on a screen using a LCD projector. A presentation, can have several slides, which can be displayed one after the other., The information presented can be an assortment of text, graphics,, audio and video., Why do we call the screen of information a slide? The word slide is a, reference to the slide projector, which is somewhat obsolete today,, thanks to electronic presentation software. In the days of slide, projectors, each slide had to be shot by a camera, specially developed, in a studio, and then placed on a slide projector for projection on a, screen. Today, however, we can just design our slide on a computer, using a presentation software and project it., There are different types of presentations like professional (workrelated), educational and for general communication. Presentation, programs can either supplement or replace the use of older visual aid, technology, such as pamphlets, handouts, chalkboards, flip charts,, posters, slides and overhead transparencies., A commonly used presentation program is Microsoft PowerPoint,, although there are alternatives such as OpenOffice.org, Impress, Corel, Presentations and Apple's Keynote. A presentation program includes, three major components: an editor that allows text to be inserted and, formatted; a method for inserting graphic images, audio and video;, and a slide-show system to display the final content., In this chapter, we are using the presentation package – Microsoft, PowerPoint – as our learning tool. However, we should remember that, other such programs are also available. If we learn to use one of them,, we will be able to use the others without any difficulty., , 5.2 STARTING THE PRESENTATION PROGRAM, Whatever the presentation program we are using, we can start it from, the Program option under the Windows Start menu. For example, to, start Microsoft PowerPoint, click on, •, , , then on, , •, , , and lastly on, , •, , 5.2.1 ANATOMY, 124, , OF THE, , APPLICATION WINDOW, , Any presentation software that we use will allow us to design and show slides., The application window (i.e., Microsoft PowerPoint window, Openoffice.org

Page 3 :
Electronic Presentation Tool, , Impress window, etc.) will provide us with tools that will assist us in, our job (Figure 5.1). The important components of this window are:, • Menu Bar : Provides menu options to help in designing and viewing, the presentation., • Standard Toolbar : Contains tools for standard tasks, like saving,, printing, cutting, copying, pasting, etc., • Formatting Toolbar : Provides tools for formatting like bold, italic,, underline, etc., • Task Pane : Allows options depending on the selected task. The, figure 5.1 shows the options for the task New Presentation. We can, select other tasks too., • Slide Pane : This is the place where we design the slide by typing,, formatting, etc., • Slide Sorter Pane : Allows us to decide on the order in which the, slides will be shown during the slide show., • Notes Pane : Allows us to type in notes that we may need while, preparing for the presentation later, but will not be shown during, the slide show., • View Buttons : Provides options to decide whether we want to view, slide show, normal slide view, or slide sorter view., • Drawing ToolBar : Provides tools for drawing basic shapes, inserting, pictures, changing colours, etc., • Status Bar : This provides information about the current, presentation, like the number of slides, the design applied, etc., Menu Bar, , Standard Toolbar, Formatting Toolbar, , Slide Sorter, Pane, Task Pane, , Slide Pane, View Buttons, , Notes Pane, Status Bar, , Drawing Toolbar, , Figure 5.1 : Application window of a Presentation program, , 125

Page 4 :
Computers and Communication Technology, , After learning documentation and spreadsheet packages, we are, already quite familiar with menu bar, standard toolbar, formatting, toolbar, drawing toolbar, and the status bar., , 5.3 STARTING A NEW PRESENTATION, To create a new presentation, click on Blank Presentation on the New, Presentation task pane. We will now see a slide on the slide pane similar, to the one shown in Figure 5.1. This is called the title slide., The first step to start with any presentation software is to type in, some text in the slides., It is not necessary that we have to type in something in every, placeholder in the slide. For example, if we do not have any subtitle,, just leave the corresponding placeholder as it is. The text 'Click to add, subtitle' will not be seen on the screen when we run the slide show., Let us now prepare our first presentation:, • Open the Presentation Program, click on the placeholder (Figure, 5.2 ) which says – Click to add title, and type text., • Click to add subtitle, and type the name., , Sizing, , Placholders for text, , 126, , Figure 5.2 : Title slide

Electronic Presentation Tool, , 5.3.1 ADDING, , A, , NEW SLIDE, , Click on New Slide option on Insert menu or (CTRL + M) and select a, desired layout from the Slide Layout options in the Task Pane., (Appendix 5.1–5.3), , 5.3.2 VIEWS, , IN, , PRESENTATION, , A presentation can be viewed in several ways as per the location and, demand. Some presentation options are listed below:, Normal View : This view has three panes and shows the outline, the, notes area and the slide. We can type the notes in this place holder, which we might require at the time of showing our presentation. Text, in the notes page does not appear in the slide show., Outline View : In this view we can see only the text of the slides in the, presentation., Slide Sorter View : In this view, slides appear of thumbnail size and, they can be moved or sorted according to the requirement. Slides can be, moved by first clicking them and dragging them to their desired location., Slide Show : This view is used to show the final presentation with all, the effects and colour schemes., , 5.3.3 INSERT OTHER OBJECTS, The following is a list of various objects that can be inserted on a slide., Table : Allows us to insert a table. We can insert the number of rows, and columns required for the table, and then type in the content., Chart : Allows us to insert a chart. We can type in the data values in, order to develop the chart., Clip Art : Allows us to insert a clip art, a variety of which normally, comes along with the presentation software., Picture : Allows us to insert picture – the ones that we might have, clicked using a digital camera, or have scanned using a scanner, or, have got from somewhere else. We have to provide the name of the, picture file we wish to insert., Diagram or Organisational Chart : Allows us to insert diagrams which, we can select from the diagram gallery. One of the common options is, the organisational chart (a chart showing hierarchy in an organisation,, or a family tree, etc.)., Media Clip : Allows us to insert a media clip like some audio or video, clips. However, to insert a media clip in this manner, Microsoft, PowerPoint requires that the media clip be a part of Microsoft Clip, Organiser., , 127

Page 6 :
Computers and Communication Technology, , Figure 5.3 shows a slide layout which can be used to insert nontext content:, , Insert Chart, Insert Table, , Insert Clip Art, , Insert Picture, , Insert Media Clip, Insert Diagram, , Figure 5.3 : Slide layout to insert other objects, , Place the mouse over the desired non-text content and click to, include the same on the slide., We have already read about inserting Clip Art in the presentation, by selecting a slide layout that allows us to insert non-text content., There is another way of inserting clip art into the slide. Let us learn, this process:, • Open the presentation., • Click on Clip Art under Picture option of Insert menu. We will now, see the Insert Clip Art option in the task pane., • We can insert some text to search clip arts belonging to a particular, group. To try out, let us type in Inspiration and click on, . If we, are not sure, just click on, without typing in any text., • We will see all the available clip arts grouped under our search text, in the task pane., • Select the desired clip art by clicking on it., • We will now get the clip art on the slide. We can change its size by, dragging the sizing handles. By click and drag we can place the clip, art at the desired location in the slide., , 5.3.4 CREATE A CHART IN PRESENTATION, 128, , Sometimes it is useful to project a chart to the audience rather, than listing out raw data. We have learnt how to design charts using

Page 7 :
Electronic Presentation Tool, , spreadsheets. Now we will learn how we can get a chart in, presentation software:, • Open the slide where we want to place the chart., • Generally a Presentation software cannot draw charts. We need to, get the help of some other software. Click on Object under Insert, menu (Figure 5.4 (a))., If we plan to draw the chart in spreadsheet, select Microsoft Excel, Chart (Figure 5.4 (b)) under Object type and click on OK., , (a) Insert with Object, , (b) Insert object dialog box with spredsheet chart selected, Figure 5.4 : Insert Object dialog box, , A dummy chart (Figure 5.5) appears on our slide which can be modified with, our data., • At the bottom of the chart we will notice, in the data for the chart as we had, done in the spreadsheet., • We can change what the chart looks, like by using the options under the, Chart menu. (As in spreadsheet), , . Click on Sheet1 and feed, , 5.3.5 NAVIGATING ACROSS SLIDES, Now that we have more than one slide, in our presentation, we will need to, move from one to the other while, designing them. We have three, different options for this:, • Press the Page Up (or PgUp) key to, go to the previous slide, press Page, Down (or PgDn) key to move to the, next slide., , Figure 5.5 : Dummy Chart, , 129

Page 8 :
Computers and Communication Technology, , • Click on the appropriate slide on the Slide Sorter pane., • Use the scroll bar that appears between the Slide Pane and the, Task Pane., , 5.4 SAVING AND OPENING A PRESENTATION, Once made, we would surely like to save the presentation (i.e., store it, permanently) for future reference and use. The process of saving a, presentation and later opening it (or to create a new presentation) is, similar to what we have learnt in Chapter 3 (Word Processing Tool)., Note : If we add or edit anything after we have saved the presentation, we will, have to save it once again. Otherwise, the changes made after the last Save, operation will not be saved., We had previously typed in some text in the a slides of the, presentation. Now we save it with a filename, My Presentation., , 5.5 FORMATTING TEXT, Now let us learn how to make the slide more presentable by formatting, the text on the slides:, We can format the text either through the Format option under the, Menu Bar, or we can use the Formatting Toolbar to invoke most (but not, all) formatting options (as in word processing). The main formatting, options are –, • Font, • Bullets and Numbering, • Alignment., Before we format any text, we must select the part of the text we, want to format. For Font formatting, we need to select all the characters, that we want to format; while for the others, we need to select any part, of the paragraph., , 5.6 COPY, MOVE AND DELETE TEXT AND SLIDES, For copying, moving or deleting text from and to the same or different, slide in the same or different presentation we can follow the same, procedure as in the case of word processing. When we copy a slide, we, actually duplicate the slide. When we move a slide, we end up changing, the order of the slide in the presentation. These can be done as follows:, , 130, , • To copy, i.e. duplicate a slide, select the slide (on the Slide Pane or, in the Slide Sorter Pane) and click on Insert → Duplicate Slide., • To move a slide or a group of slides, select the slide(s) in the Slide, Sorter Pane and drag them to the desired location.

Page 9 :
Electronic Presentation Tool, , • To delete a slide or a group of slides, select the slide(s) in the Slide, Sorter Pane and press the Delete key., Note : To select multiple contiguous slides, press the Shift key as you click on the, slides one after the other. You can also select the first one, and then click on the, last one while keeping the Shift key pressed. To select non-contiguous slides,, press the Ctrl key instead of the Shift key., , 5.7 HOW TO VIEW SLIDES?, Most presentation software will provide us with three views:, • Normal view – where we design the presentation., • Slide Sorter view – this is a view of the slides in the, presentation in thumbnail form. When we have finished, creating and editing the presentation, slide sorter view, gives us an overall picture of it – making it easy to reorder,, add, or delete slides., • Slide Show view – this takes up the full computer screen. This, is the view that we will use at the time of presentation., We can move from one view to another by using the options, under the View menu or by clicking on the appropriate View, Buttons. The options under the View menu are given in figure 5.6., , Figure 5.6 : View, Options for Presentation, , 5.8 SLIDE SHOW : PRESENT SLIDES TO THE AUDIENCE, Now that we have somewhat prepared the presentation, its time to, view the show. We are already familiar with the Slide Show option, under View menu and the corresponding View button. We can use either, of them to start the slide show. We can also start the slide show by, selecting the View Show option under the Slide Show menu., We can also save the, presentation file as PowerPoint, Show. In that case, we will not, have to start the presentation, program to view the, presentation. Just double click, on the file, and we will have, the show on the screen. To save, a file as PowerPoint Show,, select this alternative under, Save as type option in Save As, dialog box (Figure 5.7). To open, the Save As dialog box, click, on File → Save As., However, to run the slide, show as described above,, we will need to have the, , Select the type as, PowerPoint Show, , Figure 5.7 : Dialog Box to save file as PowerPoint Show, , 131

Page 10 :
Computers and Communication Technology, , presentation program in the system. What happens if we take, this presentation file to a machine which doesn't have a, presentation program loaded? Can we run the program?, , 5.8.1 SLIDE DESIGNS, Now let us learn how to apply Designs to the slides to make, them more attractive., A slide design determines the background colour and picture, as well as the colour and type of text on it. Follow steps given, below to apply slide design to the templates :, , Figure 5.8 : Slide, Designs with the options, for Templates, , • Click on the Slide Design option under the format menu. This, will show the Slide Design task bar as shown in figure 5.8., • Click on any design of the choice in the task pane. This, applies the selected design to all slides of the presentation., • If we wish to apply the design to selected slide(s) of the, presentation, select the slide(s) from Slide Sorter pane. Now,, click on the arrow which appears when we move the mouse, to the desired design in the Slide., • Design task pane, and click on Apply to Selected Slides, from the resulting menu., • Run the slide show once more to see the effect., , 5.8.2 CUSTOM ANIMATION/ANIMATION SCHEMES, We can animate text, graphics, diagrams, charts, and other objects on, the slides by following these steps:, •, •, •, •, , Select the object., Click on Slide show Menu and choose option Custom animation., Click on the effects tab to apply the appropriate effect., We will see numbers like 1, 2, 3 appearing against the paragraph/, objects – this is the order in which they will appear during the, slide show., • Repeat the process to apply animation for another instance, say, this time for exit (instead of Entrance)., • Once again, we will need to run the slide show to see the effect., Click on, at the bottom of Custom Animation task pane., • We might have to click the mouse to move from one animation to, another., , 5.8.3 SLIDE TRANSITIONS…, , 132, , While animation decides how each item in the slide emerges on the, screen, slide transition takes care of how the slides (and not the, items on the slide) appear one after the other during the show. We, can apply a particular slide transition to all the slides or to some, selected slide(s).

Page 11 :
Electronic Presentation Tool, , To apply slide transitions to the presentation,, • Open the presentation., • Click on Slide Show and select Slide Transition to see the, options in the task pane (Figure 5.9)., • If we want to apply it to some selected slide(s), select the, slide(s) from Slide Sorter pane. To try out, just select the, second slide of the presentation., • Select the desired transition effect like Blinds Horizontal,, Box In, Cover Down, etc. from the task pane., • If we wish, we can change the speed of transition (options, are slow, medium, fast)., Select medium. This option is available under Modify, transition in task pane., • In addition we can add sound that will be heard during slide, transition. This option is also available under Modify, transition in task pane., • We can set the slide to advance on a mouse click, or, Figure 5.9 : Slide, automatically after a pre-decided delay. Select automatically, Transition Dialog Box, and set the value to 00:11., • Click on, at the bottom of the task pane to see the effect., • If we wish to apply the selected transition to all slides in the, presentation, click on Apply to All Slides button else click on Apply., , 5.8.4 INSERTING SOUND/MOVIES…, Most presentation software allows us to enhance the, presentation by inserting sound and movies. In, Microsoft PowerPoint, we can add them through, following steps:, • Click Insert menu, • Select Movies and Sounds. We can add them using, Clip Organiser or directly from file (Figure 5.10)., If we select the Clip Organiser option, we will see a, selection in task pane very similar to the one we had, seen in case of inserting clip art. Choose the desired, movie or sound clip, and we will have it on the slide., The other option is to get the movie or sound from, file. If we select these options, we will see Insert Movie, or Insert Sound dialog box, one very similar to the, Save As dialog box. Select the movie or sound file, that we wish to insert., , Figure 5.10 : Insert Menu with the, options of Movies and Sounds, , 5.8.5 NAVIGATION BETWEEN DIFFERENT SLIDES USING HYPERLINKS, A hyperlink is a connection from one slide to another or a connection, to a web page, or a file., , 133

Page 12 :
Computers and Communication Technology, , A hyperlinked object may be a text, a graphic or an action button (a, readymade button) placed on a slide, which when clicked, opens the, connection (another slide, web page, file) the hyperlink was pointing to., When we point to a hyperlink, the pointer takes the shape of a, pointed finger (L), indicating that it is something we can click on., To create a hyperlink, first select the text or object that we want or, represent the hyperlink with (for example, in figure 5.11 it is the word, here). Click on Hyperlink from Insert menu. The Insert Hyperlink dialog, box (Figure 5.12) opens up and we can browse for the file that we, want to link as shown below:, , Figure 5.11 : Slide showing an object with hyperlink, , 134, , Figure 5.12 : Insert hyperlink dialog box

Page 13 :
Electronic Presentation Tool, , If we want to create a link to another slide of the same show, then, • Select 'Place in This Document' on the left pane of Insert Hyperlink, dialog box., • We will see that all the slides of the presentation are listed in the, dialog box., • From this list, we select the slide we want to go to and click on OK., If we want to create a link to another slide in a different, presentation, then, • Click on Existing File or Web Page., • Navigate to the correct folder and select the presentation to which, we want to create the link., • Click OK., Similarly, we can make a hyperlink to a web page by giving its URL, in the Address bar. For example to link to www.gmail.com, type, http://www.gmail.com in address bar (Figure 5.13)., , Address bar, , Figure 5.13 : Insert hyperlink to a web page, , 5.8.6 ADDING ACTION BUTTONS, To insert an Action Button on the slide,, • Select the slide we want to place the button on., • On the Slide Show menu, click on Action, Buttons option and select the button we, want from the resulting cascading menu, (Figure 5.14)., • Click on the desired location on the slide, and, we will see the selected Action Button getting, placed there, which can be later resized to suit, , Figure 5.14 : Slide show menu with, action buttons, , 135

Page 14 :
Computers and Communication Technology, , the requirement. Additionally, the Action, Settings dialog box (Figure 5.15) opens up., • Select the Hyperlink to option and select the, desired link from the drop down list box., • Click on OK to complete the process., If we plan to insert the same Action Button, on all slides of the presentation, click on, Master on the View menu. Select Slide Master., Now place the button on this Slide Master as, in the previous steps., , 5.8.7 AUTOSHAPES, AutoShapes can be used to emphasise certain, points in the presentation. These are available, on the Drawing toolbar. They include several, categories, of shapes: lines, connectors, basic, Figure 5.15 : Action settings dialog box, shapes, flowchart elements, stars and banners, and callouts. These can be resized, rotated, flipped, coloured and, combined to make more complex shapes. We can also add text to these, shapes which then becomes part of the shape. Follow the steps given, below to draw an autoshape:, • Click on AutoShapes option on the Drawing toolbar, • Select the desired shape (Figure 5.16),, • Click and drag on the slide to draw the shape of desired size., , Figure 5.16 : Drawing Bar with Auto Shapes options, , The handles (Figure 5.17) around a selected shape have the following, purposes:, , 136, , • The Sizing handles are the white handles around the shape which, are used to change the size of the shape., • The Adjustment handle is a yellow-diamond shaped handle. This, handle, if present, indicates that the shape is adjustable.

Page 15 :
Electronic Presentation Tool, , • The Rotating handle is the green handle, which can be used to adjust the angle of, rotation of the shape., A shape could have graphic attributes, such as fill, line, and shadow or text, attributes such as style, font, colour, and, shadow. To put text into the autoshape, select, the autoshape and just type in the desired, text; and we will see the text appearing, within the autoshape. If some text is already, there, the new text typed will be appended, to the exisiting text., , Rotating, Handle, , Adjustment, Handle, , Tools for changing the basic attributes, of a shape - fill color, , line color, line, , Sizing Handle, , Figure 5.17 : Various handles for, Auto Shapes, , (which decides on the thickness of the border), dash style, style, (which decides whether the border line will be solid, dashed, dotted,, etc.), shadow style, , , 3-D style, , and font color, , are located on, , the Drawing toolbar. For changing the attributes, we need to select, the autoshape that we have placed, click on the appropriate tool on, the Drawing toolbar, and select the desired option. If we want to, change the text attributes other than font color, select the autoshape, and click on Font option under the Format menu to set the desired, text attributes., , 5.9 HOW TO RUN A PRESENTATION FROM A, COMPUTER NOT HAVING THE PRESENTATION, SOFTWARE INSTALLED?, When we want to Run a Presentation program from a computer not, having the presentation software installed then Pack and Go is the, way to do this which is described in Appendix 5.4., , Summary, • An electronic presentation program is a computer software that is used to display, information., • A presentation can have several slides, which can be displayed one after another., • The places on the slide where we can click and type text for the presentation are called, placeholders., • The font, size, alignment, etc. will be same as that of the placeholder text, unless we, change them., • We can select the layout of a slide by selecting appropriate choice from Slide Layout task pane., , 137

Page 16 :
Computers and Communication Technology, , • A slide can contain non-text content too, like – chart, clip art, media clips, etc., • We can apply formatting to the text in the slide – we can change the fonts and their associated, features; we can apply bullets or numbers; and we can decide on the paragraph alignments., • We can copy or move the content of a slide, or even the slide itself., • There are three views – normal view to design presentation, slide sorter view to arrange, the order in which slides will appear, and finally the Slide Show view is used while delivering, the talk., • If we don't like the way our slides look, we can use Slide Design to improve them. We can, apply a slide design to selected slides, or to all slides in the presentation., • The way various items appear on the slide during a slide show is decided by the Animation, that is applied. We can select preset animation schemes, or decide on our own using, custom animation option., • Apart from the items in the slide, we can control the way the slide itself appears during, the slide show. This is done using slide transitions facility., • Instead of listing out raw data, we can insert a chart in the presentation to make the data, more meaningful to the audience., • We can create hyperlinks on slides to connect it to other slides in the same or different, presentation, or even to a file or a website., • To facilitate navigation from one slide to another, we can include action buttons in our, slides., • AutoShapes can be used to get the audience's attention to certain points in the, presentation., • A presentation file can be made to run on a computer system not having the presentation, software (Pack and Go)., , EXERCISES, SHORT ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS, 1. What is meant by slide design?, 2. What is meant by animation schemes?, 3. How do you change the bullets appearing in your presentation?, 4. What are the three major functions of a presentation program?, 5. What are placeholders?, 6. What do you mean by Pack and Go?, 7.
