Youve Probably noticed by now

• That all of the information on my slides does not
  appear at the same time.

  of you would read ahead and get really confused

  right click on it and select Copy

  select URL

  connect to.

• PowerPoint

31

  on the button to bring you to the web site.

  you want select one, go to your slide and drag to
  the size you want.

  for the website you want to go to.

A Reminder

• You will not be able to go out to the website
  unless you are in the presentation mode.

33

  of clip art behind the printing

  has writing in it.
• click on the graphic again
• click on Draw in the lower left corner

Keep your eye on this man!
34
The Draw Menu

  obliterate the writing
• You have many options but for now go to order.
  Select Send to Back while you have the graphic
  highlighted.
• Notice that the man here is blocking the words
• But now he is behind the words

35
It is tricky!

• It is always tricky with color and color on your
  slides to have the reading legible with graphics
  in the background.
• You need to alter the text color or reposition
  the graphic.
• In order to change the text color - highlight
  what you want to change - then click on the
  bottom toolbar where the letter A is

36
Changing Text Color

• When you click on the A you get options of
  colors. You can select a color that might go
  better with your graphic.
• Most of the time it would be easier to use a
  slide format that would let you put the graphic
  to the side!

37
Changing Background color!

  going to the Format Menu and selecting
  Background
• This box will appear

Adding video

• Of course you can add video clips to your
  presentation
• A word of caution - video take up an enormous
  amount of memory - it makes your presentations
  much less portable

• Use the digital camera to take stills or a short
  movie
• Take your disk from the camera, insert it into
  the computer, click on Insert Movie from the and
  select the A Drive
• Double click on the movie

40
That will add it to the presentation.

• This however will only run it from the floppy
  disk - not good.

• You should save the file to the space on your G
  Drive. You will then be able to access is from
  any computer on the network.

41
Downloading Video or Audio

• You should always save the file you are
  downloading to your hardrive or network space
• I set up a folder titled Net Downloads so
  anything I download from the Internet goes there
  - that way I dont spend extra time searching
• Once you have a video clip select a slide format
  that allows you to enter a video
