1. WHICH WOULD BE THE PREFERRED SLIDE ORIENTATION FOR MOST SLIDE PRESENTATIONS

Explanation

The preferred slide orientation for most slide presentations is landscape. Landscape orientation allows for a wider view of the content, making it easier to read and understand. It also allows for more space to include visuals and graphics. Portrait orientation, on the other hand, is better suited for documents or images that are taller than they are wide. Miniature orientation is not a commonly used slide orientation and may not provide enough space to effectively present information.

THIS QUIZ TESTS YOUR ABILITY TO CREATE, EDIT, ENHANCE, SAVE, PRESENT AND PRINT POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS

2. TRUE OR FALSE. WAYS TO SPELL CHECK A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION INCLUDE: "AS YOU GO" EDITING WITH MICROSOFT OFFICE PROMPTING AND AT THE END OF CREATING THE SHOW, RUN A SPELLING AND GRAMMAR CHECK.

Explanation

The statement is true because there are indeed two ways to spell check a PowerPoint presentation. One way is to do "as you go" editing with Microsoft Office prompting, where the software will automatically highlight potential spelling errors as you type and suggest corrections. The other way is to run a spelling and grammar check at the end of creating the show, where the software will scan the entire presentation for any spelling or grammar mistakes and provide suggestions for correction.

Submit
3. WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING STEPS WILL NOT ADD TEXT TO YOUR SLIDE

Explanation

Clicking on a blank part of the slide and beginning typing will not add text to the slide. This is because clicking on a blank part of the slide does not activate any text input function.

Submit
4. WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING STEPS WILL NOT ADD GRAPHICS TO YOUR SLIDE

Explanation

This step involves pasting an image onto the slide by pressing Ctrl V and then pressing Ctrl C. However, the correct shortcut for copying is Ctrl C, not Ctrl V. Therefore, this step will not add graphics to the slide.

Submit
5. TRUE OR FALSE. IF YOUR SLIDE SHOW IS INTENDED TO BE PROJECTED ONTO A SCREEN WITH A DATA PROJECTOR, IT IS BEST TO USE DARK FONTS ON A LIGHT BACKGROUND.

Explanation

Using dark fonts on a light background is recommended when projecting a slide show onto a screen with a data projector. This is because dark fonts tend to be more legible and easier to read when displayed on a bright background. Light fonts on a dark background may cause strain on the eyes and make it difficult for the audience to read the content on the slides. Therefore, using dark fonts on a light background ensures better visibility and readability for the audience.

Submit
6. TRUE OR FALSE. TO BE ABLE TO SEE ALL TOOLBAR OPTIONS, GO TO "VIEW", "TOOLBARS"

Explanation

To see all toolbar options, one should go to the "View" menu and then select "Toolbars". This suggests that the statement is true.

Submit
7. WHAT IS THE SHORTCUT FOR OPENING A NEW SLIDE-SHOW IN POWERPOINT?

Explanation

The shortcut for opening a new slide-show in PowerPoint is CTRL N. This combination of keys allows users to quickly create a new slide-show without having to go through the menu options.

Submit
8. TRUE OR FALSE. IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A BUSINESS PRESENTATION, YOU SHOULD USE AS MANY DIFFERENT SLIDE TRANSITIONS AS POSSIBLE TO SHOW YOUR EXPERTISE IN PRESENTATIONS

Explanation

Using as many different slide transitions as possible in a business presentation does not demonstrate expertise in presentations. In fact, it can be distracting and unprofessional. A well-designed presentation should focus on delivering clear and concise information, using appropriate visuals and a consistent design. The focus should be on the content and the message, not on flashy transitions.

Submit
9. TRUE OR FALSE. IF YOU WANT TO CHECK THE OVERALL IMPACT OF A SLIDE SHOW THAT YOU INTEND TO PROJECT WITH A DATA PROJECTOR, YOU SHOULD CHECK THE PRESENTATION AS IT WILL BE SEEN BY THE AUDIENCE RATHER THAN JUST ON YOUR COMPUTER SCREEN

Explanation

To accurately assess the overall impact of a slide show that will be projected with a data projector, it is important to check the presentation as it will be seen by the audience rather than just on your computer screen. This is because the projection may alter the colors, contrast, and overall visual quality of the slides, which can affect the audience's perception and understanding of the content. By reviewing the presentation on the projected screen, you can make necessary adjustments to ensure optimal visibility and clarity for the audience.

Submit
10. TRUE OR FALSE. YOU CAN CHANGE THE FORMAT OF SLIDES, HANDOUTS AND NOTES BY CLICKING ON "VIEW", "MASTER" AND WORKING WITHIN THE SLIDE/NOTES/ HANDOUT MASTER DESIGN.

Explanation

The statement is true because in most presentation software, including Microsoft PowerPoint, you can change the format of slides, handouts, and notes by clicking on "View", "Master", and working within the slide/note/handout master design. This allows you to modify the overall layout, design, and formatting of your presentation materials.

Submit
11. TRUE OR FALSE. IF YOU WANT TO ADD A CALENDAR TO THE SLIDE SHOW, YOU GO TO "INSERT" "OBJECT" - CALENDAR CONTROL. ONCE YOU HAVE DONE THIS, YOU CAN CHANGE THE SIZE, NAME, FONT, BACKGROUND ETC OF THE CALENDAR TO MATCH YOUR PRESENTATION 

Explanation

To add a calendar to a slide show in PowerPoint, you can go to the "Insert" tab and then select "Object". From there, you can choose "Calendar Control" to add a calendar to your presentation. Once the calendar is added, you can customize its size, name, font, background, and other attributes to match your presentation. This allows you to have a visually cohesive and personalized slide show.

Submit
12. TRUE OR FALSE. YOU CANNOT REORDER OR DELETE SLIDES IN SLIDE SORTER MODE

Explanation

In Slide Sorter mode, you can reorder and delete slides. This mode allows you to view all the slides in your presentation as thumbnails, making it easier to rearrange them by dragging and dropping. Additionally, you can select a slide and press the delete key to remove it from the presentation. Therefore, the statement that you cannot reorder or delete slides in Slide Sorter mode is false.

Submit
13. TRUE OR FALSE. YOU CAN ONLY PLAY PRE-SET ANIMATIONS IN POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS IF YOU ARE USING WINDOWS VISTA OR MORE RECENT VERSIONS

Explanation

The statement is false because you can play pre-set animations in PowerPoint presentations on any version of Windows, not just Windows Vista or more recent versions. PowerPoint has a wide range of pre-set animations that can be used to enhance the visual appeal of presentations, regardless of the operating system being used.

Submit
14. IT MAKES SENSE TO PUT AS MUCH INFORMATION ON EACH SLIDE AS YOU CAN

Explanation

Putting as much information as possible on each slide is not a good idea. It can overwhelm the audience and make it difficult for them to understand and retain the information. Slides should be clear, concise, and visually appealing, with key points and supporting visuals. This allows the audience to focus on the presenter and listen to the information being conveyed, rather than reading a cluttered slide.

Submit
15. WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING TOOLS WOULD NOT ASSIST YOU TO IMPROVE THE LOOK OF THE PRESENTATION?

Explanation

The spell check tool is used to identify and correct spelling errors in a presentation. It does not directly contribute to improving the visual appearance or look of the presentation. The other options, such as inserting shapes, pictures, and using slide transitions, can enhance the visual appeal of the presentation by adding graphics, images, and special effects.

Submit
16. TRUE OR FALSE. IF YOU WANT TO CREATE AN "ON-SCREEN" PRESENTATION SUCH AS ON A COMPUTER OR TELEVISION SCREEN, LIGHT FONTS OVER DARK BACKGROUNDS ARE EFFECTIVE.

Explanation

Light fonts over dark backgrounds are effective for on-screen presentations such as on a computer or television screen. This is because light fonts provide a high contrast against the dark background, making the text more readable and easier to see. The contrast helps to improve visibility and legibility, especially in low-light environments. Additionally, light fonts over dark backgrounds can create a visually appealing and modern aesthetic for the presentation.

Submit
17. TO MAKE A PRESENTATION MORE INTERESTING FOR A LARGE AUDIENCE, YOU SHOULD USE SOUND EFFECTS ON EVERY SLIDE

Explanation

Using sound effects on every slide can actually make a presentation more distracting and less engaging for a large audience. Sound effects should be used sparingly and purposefully to enhance specific points or transitions in the presentation. Overusing sound effects can be overwhelming and take away from the main content of the presentation. It is important to consider the audience's preferences and the overall tone and purpose of the presentation when deciding whether or not to use sound effects.

Submit
18. TRUE OR FALSE. WHEN PRESENTING TEXT ON A SCREEN, THE SMALLEST FONT SIZE YOU SHOULD USE IS 10 POINTS

Explanation

The statement "When presenting text on a screen, the smallest font size you should use is 10 points" is false. The font size to be used when presenting text on a screen depends on various factors such as the screen size, resolution, and the distance between the viewer and the screen. In some cases, a font size smaller than 10 points may be necessary to ensure readability, especially for large screens or when the viewer is at a closer distance. Therefore, there is no fixed rule stating that 10 points is the smallest font size that should be used when presenting text on a screen.

Submit
19. TO VIEW MULTIPLE SLIDES AT ONCE, GO TO:

Explanation

The correct answer is "VIEW", "SLIDE SORTER" because selecting this option allows the user to see multiple slides at once in a grid-like view, making it easier to rearrange and organize the slides in a presentation. This view is particularly useful when working with larger presentations or when trying to get an overview of the entire presentation structure.

Submit
20. WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS IS THE BEST WAY TO CHANGE THE BACKGROUND COLOUR OF ALL SLIDES?

Explanation

The best way to change the background color of all slides is to go to "Format", "Background", choose the color you want, and choose "Apply to all slides". This option allows you to change the background color of all slides in a single step, ensuring consistency throughout the presentation.

Submit

Explanation

YOU CAN PRESS "N" ON THE KEYBOARD TO GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE OR "P" TO GO TO THE PREVIOUS SLIDE. YOU CAN ALSO USE THE ARROW KEYS. HOWEVER THE BUTTONS YOU CREATE YOURSELF CAN GIVE YOU MUCH MORE NAVIGATIONAL CONTROL

Submit
23. WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO DUPLICATE SLIDES?

Explanation

The option "IN NORMAL MODE, CLICK ON A FULL SIZED SLIDE, GO TO "EDIT", "COPY", "EDIT", "PASTE"" will not allow you to duplicate slides because it only allows you to copy and paste the content within the slide, not the entire slide itself.

Submit
24. TO SELECT AN EXISTING SLIDE TEMPLATE, YOU CAN FOLLOW WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING STEPS (MORE THAN ONE ANSWER)

Explanation

The correct answer is to go to "Format" then "Slide Design" and choose from the options presented, and to go to "File" then "New" then select "From Design Templates". These steps allow you to select an existing slide template in PowerPoint.

Submit
25. TRUE OR FALSE. IF YOU HAVE JUST CREATED A SLIDE-SHOW AND YOU PRESS "CTRL S", YOU WILL ALWAYS SAVE YOUR FILE IN THE APPROPRIATE DIRECTORY

Explanation

Pressing "Ctrl S" will save the file in the current directory, not necessarily the appropriate directory. The appropriate directory may vary depending on the user's preference or the intended location for saving the file. Therefore, the statement is false.

Submit
26. TO ADD NOTES TO A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION, YOU NEED TO:

Explanation

To add notes to a PowerPoint presentation, you need to go to the "View" tab and select "Notes Page". This will allow you to view and edit the speaker notes associated with each slide.

Submit
27. WHEN RESIZING IMAGES, THE BEST WAY TO KEEP THE PROPORTIONS CORRECT WHILE MAINTAINING THE CENTRE OF THE IMAGE IS TO:

Explanation

When resizing images, pressing the Shift key while dragging the corner anchor is the best way to keep the proportions correct while maintaining the center of the image. This is because the Shift key constrains the proportions of the image, ensuring that it is scaled uniformly in both dimensions. By dragging the corner anchor, you can resize the image from any corner while maintaining the center position.

Submit
28. THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS TO PRINT OUT POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS. SELECT THE OPTIONS THAT YOU WOULD USE TO HAND OUT WHEN PRESENTING A LECTURE TO A LARGE AUDIENCE. (MORE THAN ONE OPTION)

Explanation

When presenting a lecture to a large audience, it is common to provide handouts to the audience so that they can follow along with the presentation and take notes. Handouts allow the audience to have a physical copy of the slides and any additional information or resources that may be provided. Additionally, providing notes can be helpful for the audience to have a summary or key points of the lecture. Therefore, selecting "HANDOUTS" and "NOTES" as options to print out PowerPoint presentations when presenting to a large audience is a suitable choice.

Submit

Explanation

The given answer correctly selects the steps that relate to incorporating organizational charts in a PowerPoint presentation. It suggests going to the "Insert" tab, then selecting "Diagram" to add an organizational chart. After that, the option that suits the presentation can be chosen, and text can be added by clicking on the boxes. This answer excludes the steps that are unrelated to organizational charts, such as going to the "Format" tab and selecting "Bullets and Numbers".

Submit
