LESSON 5: PRESENTATION SOFTWARE SUBTOPIC: MASTER SLIDE The Master Slide is designed to achieve consistency and professional-looking presentation. In PowerPoint presentation, you could use Slide Master View to modify all the slides and the slide layouts of your presentation. You can also modify the layout of the individual slides. Here are some of the most common uses of the Slide Master View. Modify backgrounds: it customizes the background for all of your slides at the same time. When you adjust one of the layouts in the Slide Master view, all of the slides with that layout will change. Rearrange placeholders: If you accidentally rearranged the placeholders on each slide, you can save time by rearranging them using the Slide Master view. Customize text formatting: You could also use the Slide Master view to change the text color on all slides at once. Create unique slide layouts: You could use Slide Master view to create your own unique layouts. Custom layouts can include your own background graphics and placeholders. Customizing Slide Layouts 1. Click the View tab from the Ribbon. In the Master Views group, click Slide Master view. 2. Locate and select the desired layout in the left navigation pane. You can hover the mouse over each layout to see which slides are currently using that layout in the presentation. 3. In some layouts, the background graphics may be hidden. To show the graphics, uncheck the box next to Hide Background Graphics found in the Background group of the Slide Master tab from the Ribbon. 4. Add, move, or delete any objects as desired. 5. If you want to change the arrangement of the placeholders, you can move, resize, or delete any of them. 6. When you're finished, click the Close Master View command on the Slide Master tab. 7. All slides using the layout will be updated.  Create New Slide Layouts 1. Click the View tab from the Ribbon. In the Master Views group, click Slide Master view. 2. Click the Insert Layout command. The new slide layout will appear. 3. The layout will include title and footer placeholders by default. Click the Title and Footers boxes in the Master Layout group to toggle these placeholders on and off. 4. You can now add background graphics, shapes, and pictures to the slide layout. You can also move, adjust, and delete the existing placeholders. 5. To add new placeholders, click the down arrow of the Insert Placeholder command, then select the desired placeholder type. 6. Click and drag to draw the placeholder on the slide. SUBTOPIC: MOTION PATH Animations in Microsoft PowerPoint come in a variety of forms. Effects can be applied to shapes, pictures, and text. However, if you want to create your own, you can select a motion path animation to move your object wherever you like. PowerPoint's Motion Path animations allow you to add zigzag, loop, spiral, or swoosh effects to your objects. You can adjust the points to establish the precise path you want your object to go once you have chosen the motion path you want to utilize. 1. Click an object that you want to animate. 2. On the Animations tab from the Ribbon, click Add Animation. 3. Scroll down to Motion Paths, and pick one from the list. 4. If you would like to draw the path, choose Custom Path from the list. 5. Draw the path in the slide. To stop drawing a custom path, press Esc. 6. If you do not like any of the motion paths in the list, click More Motion Paths. 7. Click an animation to see a preview of how the object will move on your slide. 8. Select the motion path you want then click OK. 9. You should see the movement on the object in your slide. 10. Try to change the direction, sequence, origin and path. 11. Click Effect Options from the Animations tab and choose from given lists. 12. You should see the effect on the object you have selected. 13. In case you want to remove an animation, on the slide, click the motion path (dotted line with arrow), and then press Delete.  14. Save the changes you have made to your presentation. SUBTOPIC: ANIMATION PANE The Animation Pane is an essential part of the Animations tab. This command enables you to control and view every effect on the active slide. The Animation Pane allows you to easily edit and rearrange effects, which is very helpful if you have multiple effects. It also allows you to have an easy and quick preview of the animation effects that you have selected. The effect’s start option and timing can also be set using the Animation Pane. To open the Animation Pane: 1. From the Animations tab, click the Animation Pane command. 2. The Animation Pane will open on the right side of the window. It shows all of the effects for the current slide following the order in which they will appear. To reorder effects from the Animation Pane: 1. On the Animation Pane, click and drag an effect up or down. 2. You may also use the up and down arrow from the Animation Pane. 3. Simply select the object with effect and click the up or down arrow. To preview effects from the Animation Pane: 1. From the Animation Pane, click the Play or Play All button. 2. The effects for the current slide will play. To change an effect's start option: 1. From the Animation Pane, select an effect. A drop-down arrow will appear next to the effect. 2. Click the drop-down arrow and select one of the three start options. Start on Click will start the effect when the mouse is clicked, Start With Previous will start the effect at the same time as the previous effect, and Start After Previous will start the effect when the previous effect ends. To open the Effect Options dialog box: 1. From the Animation Pane, select an effect. A drop-down arrow will appear next to the effect. 2. Click the drop-down arrow, then select Effect Options. 3.
