| How
do I ensure that colours, fonts etc are consistent between 2 objects? |
| The format painter tool
(the paintbrush icon) will allow you to apply text, colour and line
attributes to another object. |
| |
| Sometimes
when I apply a template to a presentation, the colours don't change.
How do I fix this? |
| Using the master colour
scheme when designing a template allows you to globally change colours
when applying a different template to a presentation. |
| |
| I
want to smoothly go from 1 presentation to another in slide show.
Is this possible? |
| In PowerPoint, you can
create links to other parts of the presentation, other PowerPoint
presentations or other files or applications. Links can be created
from action buttons, pictures or any other object. |
| |
| I
added a video clip to my presentation. When I moved the presentation
to another computer, it didn't work. What went wrong? |
| When adding multimedia
such as video or audio to your PowerPoint file, always ensure that
the audio / video file is resident in the same directory as your presentation.
When copying your presentation to another PC, make sure you include
the multimedia files as well, and keep them together in the same directory
to maintain the link. |
| |
| I
want to modify a file and retain it's file name but my computer won't
let me! What should I do? |
| To change the read-only
properties of a file, click on the file name in Windows Explorer,
right mouse click and select properties. In the properties dialog
box, uncheck the read-only box. You can then modify the file and resave
it using its existing file name. Files copied from a CD onto your
computer are, by default, read-only. |

Tips |
| |
| |
| Always
let the conference organiser know well ahead of time what your specific
AV requirements will be. Remember, the most important part of any
presentation is planning. |
| |
| When creating
text slides, builds can be a good way of keeping your audience on
track. Use slide show - custom animation - and try some build effects
to see which works best fo you. |
| |
| Your
audience, venue and equipment will all effect the format and structure
of your presentation. Do the planning ahead of time for an effective
presentation. |
| |
| Avoid using
serif typefaces (like times roman) in slide shows. They can become
jagged on screen and hard for your audience to read. The best typefaces
for slide shows are sans serif fonts (such as Arial). |
| |
| If
someone at the back of the room can't read an image, then it's useless
as a visual aid. Provide detailed information as a handout if necessary. |
| |
| When putting
in transition and animation effects to your images, try to limit the
types of effect you use. Using every effect in the book is a sure
way to give your audience motion sickness. |
