Exercise PowerPoint 2-2: Format & Animate

Start with:  , people.pptx  from the resource files

1. Open the presentation people.pptx from the resource files.
   There are text boxes on the slides in addition to placeholders.
2. Save with the name   ex2-2-specialpeople-Lastname-Firstname.pptx  to your Class disk in the powerpoint project2 folder.
   
3. Theme: Apply a theme that looks good to you, like Flow or Celestial - blue green variant.
   The text boxes that are not placeholders do not update.
   
4. Change fonts:
   • Slide Master: Change the font for all slide titles to a wide serif font, like Britannic Bold or Renfrew or Broadway.
   • Slide Master: Change the font for the bullet list to Verdana
     
   • Slide Master: Title Layout: Make sure the fonts match what you chose above.
     
   • Slides: Change the font of the non-placeholder textboxes to Verdana and Bold.
     (These text boxes cannot be formatted from a Master.)
     The text boxes will need to be resized and moved (see next step!)
     
5. Resize and move placeholders:
   The placeholders and textboxes on some slides are now too close together or are not well shaped for the text. Adjust the size and/or location so that the text lies neatly on the slide.
   
6. Format last slide:
      Phone number = Bold
      Slogan = centered, not bold
   
7. Transition:
   • On the Slide Master, apply transition Cover Left or Cover - From Right.
   • Advance after 2 seconds.
   • Apply to all.
     
8. Animation:
   • On Slide 2 (not the master), select the placeholder with the bullet list.
   • Apply the Entrance animation Wipe - From Left.
     Duration remains at 0.5 sec and Delay remains at 0 sec.
   • Change the Start to After Previous.
   • PowerPoint 2007: Repeat steps aboveon Slide 3 and Slide 4.
     PowerPoint 2010, 2013, 2016: With the bullet text placeholder still selected, double click the Animation Painter button.
     (This keeps the feature on until you turn it off.)
     Change to Slide 3.
     Click in the bullet list to apply the same animation.
     Repeat for Slide 4.
     Press the ESC key to turn off the Animation Painter.
   • On the last slide, select the phone number and slogan text boxes.
     Apply the Entrance effect Grow & Turn, Start = After Previous.
     Duration remains at 1 sec. with Delay = 0 sec.
   • Play the Slide Show and make sure the transitions and animations are running automatically.
     
9. Use the Pre-Print Checklist.
   
10. In Print Preview, select:
        Handout layout with 6 slides per page
        Print in your choice of color or black and white

11. Print the handout. You may use color if you wish. The previous lesson used black and white. PowerPoint will remember that!
    Note: If you switch from color to gray scale or black and white and back to color, the preview will not show the colors. Once you close PowerPoint and open it again, all will be back to normal. This is a known issue with most printers!
    
12. Save
