Case Problems

MarketBeat Investments

Richard wants to get more practice with animations and slide transitions. He also plans to edit the Slide Master. In the following case problems, assume the role of Richard and perform the same steps that he identifies. You may want to reread the chapter opening before proceeding.

1. Richard opens the pp04xtra05.ppt presentation and saves it as "Kiosk" in his personal storage location. He first applies the Radial design template. He decides that he would rather have a different color scheme, so he chooses the color scheme shown in Figure 4.6. He then saves the presentation and leaves it open for the next exercise.

Figure 4.6 "Kiosk" presentation

2. Richard applies the "Descend" animation scheme to every slide in his presentation. He also applies the "Wheel Clockwise ? 1 Spoke" transition to the entire presentation. He saves the presentation as "Kiosk ? revision" to his personal storage location and leaves it open for use in the next exercise. Before proceeding, he views his slide show to see the new effects in action.
3. Richard wants the MarketBeat theme song to play during the title slide. He downloads pp04xtra06.mid and saves it in his personal storage location. He then navigates to the first slide and inserts the sound. ( Hint: Choose Insert, Movies and Sounds, Sound From File.) He chooses to have it play automatically when the subtitle animation finishes. He then saves the presentation as "Kiosk with music" to his personal storage location. He reviews the presentation in Slide Show view and then closes PowerPoint.
