January 16, 2008 Summary & xxx-Roller Coaster ppt.



Today I learned mainly how to create hyperlinks. You can't view the hyperlink in normal view, but you can view the hyperlink when your viewing your complete slide show. To make a few words hyperlinks, all you have to do is go up to insert on the standard toolbar and click on hyperlink, and then click whatever slide number you wish to add a hyperlink to. I also learned that you can make a presentation longer by linking slides together from another presentation and then going back to the main presentation. Hyperlinks can be very useful in presentations for the people making them, and very helpful to the people viewing the presentation.

January 14&15, 2008 summaries & Pg. 494 & Pg. 498



Today I learned all about how subtitles work in powerpoints. I learned what an indent level is, which is a number that indicates the indent and importance of the subtitle in relation to the title. I also learned how to move a subtitle to the the next higher level, and all you have to do is promote it, which means you decrease the indent and increase the type size. I also learned how to demote text to a lower level, which all you have to do is increase the indent and reduce the type size. I learned a few different ways to change the indent levels which are: click a subtitle on the outline tab and press tab to decrease/increase the indent, and to change all the indentions of all the subtitles you just drag the ruler to your desired indentation.




In this powerpoint I learned how to manipulate slides. I added titles and text to the different placeholders and I also learned how to delete many slides at one time. To do this you just simply click on the first slide you want to delete and hold down shift ad click on the rest of the slides that you wish to delete, and they will delete all at one time. Different ways to add a slide is by decreasing the indent to promote a subtitle, and another way is to click on new slide in the standard toolbar. There are also several different ways to delete a slide, which are: select a slide icon and press delete or go up to the standard toolbar and click on delete up there.
