Slide Master

• Before you create your presentation you need to set up your slide master using the house style you have created in AO2.

• To do this go to: View > Master > Slide Master

• Set up your colours, font styles, sizes etc.

Navigation

• Before adding all your content you should create all your slides and set up your navigation system (which you designed in AO2).

• You will be using internal hyperlinks for this.• You can create your navigation using images or text

(created inside or outside PowerPoint).– If you create them externally (e.g Fireworks) you will need to

insert the images using: Insert > Picture > From File– If you want to use images or shapes internally you can either

use Clip Art (Insert > Picture > Clip Art) or use the AutoShapes (View > Toolbars > Drawing)

Navigation

• Create all your slides and add the slide titles.• Select the image/text that you want to use as the

navigation button and go to: Insert > Hyperlink• Select: Place in this Document• Select the slide you want to navigate to.

Hyperlinks

• Your presentation should contain 3 external links.

• These should be to websites that are related to your presentation.

• To add your hyperlinks you need to go to: Insert > Hyperlink > Type in the website address in the address bar.

Adding Sound

• Your presentation should contain some sound.

• You can either add sound you have sourced externally or use the sound from the clip organiser.

• Go to: Insert > Movies and Sounds

Adding Sound

• You can choose if the sound is played automatically or after being clicked.

Adding Video

• Your presentation should contain some video

• You can either add vide you have sourced externally or use the video from the clip organiser.

Adding Video

• If you add a video from the clip organiser it will play automatically.

• If you add a video you have sourced externally you can choose if it plays automatically or when clicked.

• I would suggest sourcing and using an external movie as the movies in the PowerPoint clip organiser are animation.

Adding Animation

• Your presentation should also contain animation.

• You have all created a Flash animation in Unit 20 which you should use.

• You can also use externally sourced animations as long as they relate to your presentation topic.

Adding Animation

• Go to View > Toolbars > Control Toolbox• Select: More Controls• Select: Shockwave Flash Object• Draw a space for your animation• Right Click > Properties• Add the Full path and animation name in the

movie section.

• NEXT SLIDE HAS PRINT SCREENS SHOWING YOU HOW TO DO THIS.

Adding Animation

Right Click

Full path to animation

Custom Animation

• You can add custom animation to text and images within your presentation to make them enter, emphasise and exit the slide.

• To do this Right-Click on the text box or image and go to: Custom Animation

Slide Transitions

• You can add slide transitions (animation effects) for when you navigate from slide to slide.

• To do this go to: Slide Show > Slide Transition

• Select the transition you want and select ‘Apply to all slides’

User Interaction

• User interaction is when the user interacts with your presentation, opposed to only looking at the information. Your navigation is one form of interaction but you could also add a game.

• To do this you need to source a flash game and then add it like you would add an animation (Slides 12 & 13)

Printing and Annotating

• When your presentation is complete you need to print out each slide and annotate them.

• Go to: File > Print• Where it says ‘Print What’, select Handouts• Select either 1 or 3 per page.
