Homework 4   

Microsoft PowerPoint

*** 10-point assignment due by Thursday, February 2, 2012 at 9:00pm.


Start with the file: T:\teach\classes\for112\HW4Starter.pptx

1. Do a “Save As” and save a copy of it to your Z: drive and name it your_ONID_username-HW4.pptx.
For example, the instructor would name her file howellk-HW4.pptx

2. (1 pt) Edit the Slide Master to:
      a. remove the 4th and 5th bullet-point levels
      b. Change the background to a dark blue
      c. Change the text (in both the title and text placeholders) to a white color
  >> Close the Slide Master

>> Back in the presentation slides

3. (0.5 pt.) a. Delete Slide 4.
                b. Change the layout of Slide 2 to a blank layout.

4. (0.5 pt.) Using Page Setup, change the size of the slides from their current On-Screen Show (16:9) format to PowerPoint’s default size of On-Screen Show (4:3).

5. (1 pt) After modifying the size of the slides, note that the picture in Slide 3 is now skewed (distorted). Reset the picture to its original size (equal height and width percentage adjustments) and then scale it so the width of the picture is 2.5 inches.

6. (1 pt) You need to supply an image of yourself engaged in some activity - you with other people, animals, or things in the picture.  This will probably be a .JPG file you have saved somewhere.  This is your ORIGINAL picture.
      a. Open your ORIGINAL picture in Irfanview or some other graphics program. 
      b. Crop the picture so it is just a picture of you.
      c. Save this new image as a JPG file named with your-three-initials_Cropped, such as, KXH_Cropped.jpg

7. (2.5 pts) On Slide 2 --
      a. Insert your Original JPG image tastefully spaced to the left of the green arrow.

      b. Size your Original image to be 1.44" in height (without distorting the image)
      c. Insert your ZZZ_Cropped JPG image tastefully spaced to the left of the orange arrow.
      d. Size your ZZZ_Cropped image to be 2.5" in width (without distorting the image)
      e. Use the Format Painter to make all of the arrows the exact color of the purple arrow.
      f. Add text to the shapes. The top arrow should read “Original”,
          and the bottom arrow should read “Cropped”.  You should adjust the text size for it to look nice.
      g. Group all the arrow shapes (so they can all move as one object)

8. (1 pt.) Import (Copy | Paste) Slide 21 from: T:\teach\classes\for112\PPTDesign.ppt and place it just before "The End" slide in your presentation. Change the bullet levels to match this image.

9. (0.5 pt.) Add speaker notes to the Enchilada slide giving your opinion of this entree. Would you order it? Where do you find your favorite enchiladas? ... any relevant comments.

10. (1.5 pts.) Insert a new slide (blank layout) as the last slide in your presentation.
Include screen capture images (Alt-PrintScreen) of three print options.  You'll
paste them on the slide, then click and drag to resize and position three different
images.  That is, three times you'll do,  Print | Print What | Preview  (screen capture) 
   Include:  [1] Print Preview of the Notes Pages printout of the Enchilada page
                        (where you have notes)
                [2] Handouts (3 per page)   
                [3] Handouts (4 per page)

11. (0.5 pt.) Add an arrow shape with a heavy (3.0 pt) red line outline pointing to the image you just added of the Notes Pages print preview on the slide of the previous task.

12. Save all the changes to your modified PowerPoint file and close PowerPoint.
Attach your your_ONID_username-HW4.pptx file and your two JPG images to an e-mail you send to the instructor.
