Power Point XP Tips
|
- User PowerPoint’s print preview before you complete your
presentation to make sure everything is okay. Go to File,
Print Preview to display the window.
- You can assign two passwords to your presentation, one for
read access only and the other with access to make changes. To
add passwords, go to Tools, Options.
Click on the Security tab, and you
will see spaces for two passwords. Type in the passwords of your
choice and click OK.
- To reduce the amount of space used by bitmaps, convert them to
JPEGS before inserting them into a presentation. If you are using
digital photos, choose low resolution.
- To compress pictures go to View,
Toolbars, and Picture.
On the Picture toolbar click Compress
Pictures. In the Apply To
section, select the resolution based on the destination of the
image, either Web/Screen or Print.
If you compress pictures in this manner, you cannot restore the
images to their original resolution.
- The attributes of one object in objects grouped together can be
changed without first having to ungroup it. Click once to select
the group, and then click again on a single item in the group
to select the object to be formatted individually.
- Sets of animations can be applied to all slides at once. Click
the Slide Design button on the Formatting
Toolbar to bring up the Task Paine,
and then click Animation Schemes.
The schemes will appear in the bottom of the Task Pane. Choose
one, and click Apply to All Slides.
Animations are grouped into Subtle,
Moderate, and Exciting
categories.
- You can preview and apply an animation effect to only the current
slide in view by clicking on the scheme.
- To add animation effects to some, but not all slides, go to
the Slides tab at the far left of
the PowerPoint window and pick out the slides to be modified while
holding down the Ctrl key. Then
choose the animation scheme in the Task
Paine.
