Microsoft PowerPoint Pre-assessment

The statement suggests that it is possible to add music and videos to a presentation. Therefore, the correct answer is true.

The given statement is true because in most presentation software, including PowerPoint, you have the ability to change the slide layout even after saving the file. This means that you can modify the design and structure of your slides even after you have saved your progress, allowing for flexibility and adjustments to be made as needed.

The given correct answer is "True" because the statement is stating that instead of copying and pasting, one can also duplicate a slide. This means that there is an alternative method to achieve the same result, which is duplicating the slide instead of copying and pasting it.

The statement is false because it is possible to change the color of a selected design. Once a design is chosen, it does not mean that the color is permanently fixed. The color can be modified or altered according to the preference or requirements of the individual or project. Therefore, the statement that you cannot change the color of a selected design is incorrect.

It is possible to create a presentation that runs automatically without the need for a speaker. This can be done by setting up the presentation to advance slides automatically at a specified time interval or by using features such as animations or transitions to create a self-running presentation. This allows the audience to view the presentation without the need for someone to manually control it.

The statement is false because not all slides in a presentation need to have the same design theme. It is possible to have different design themes for different slides in order to create visual variety or to differentiate between sections of the presentation. This allows for more creativity and flexibility in designing the slides to effectively convey the intended message.

This statement is true because objects can be animated multiple times. Animation involves creating the illusion of movement by rapidly displaying a series of images or frames. These frames can be looped or repeated to create continuous motion. Therefore, it is possible to animate an object multiple times by applying different animations or repeating the same animation multiple times.

When designing new slides, users are advised to use auto layout. Auto layout is a feature in presentation software that automatically arranges the content on a slide, ensuring that it is visually appealing and well-organized. By using auto layout, users can save time and effort in manually adjusting the placement and alignment of elements on their slides. This feature helps to maintain consistency and professionalism in the design of the presentation.

Excel and PowerPoint are both part of the Microsoft Office suite and are designed to work together. One of the features of PowerPoint is the ability to link data from an Excel spreadsheet to charts in a PowerPoint presentation. This means that if the data in the Excel spreadsheet changes, the linked chart in PowerPoint will automatically update to reflect the changes. This can be a useful feature when presenting data in a dynamic and interactive way. Therefore, the statement "You can link Excel data to PowerPoint charts" is true.

Slides can contain footers, which are sections of text that appear at the bottom of each slide. Footers can include information such as the slide number, date, and presenter's name. They are commonly used in presentations to provide additional context or branding. Therefore, the statement "Slides can contain Footers" is true.

Animation and Transition are not the same thing. While both involve visual effects and changes, they have distinct differences. Animation refers to the process of creating a series of images or frames to simulate motion, while Transition refers to the effect of smoothly changing from one state or style to another. Animation typically involves more complex movements and transformations, while transitions are often used to enhance the visual flow between different elements or states. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that Animation and Transition are the same thing.

A PowerPoint file is known as a presentation because it is a digital file that contains a collection of slides that are used to convey information or present ideas in a visual format. Each slide typically includes text, images, and other multimedia elements that can be displayed in a sequential manner to create a cohesive presentation. PowerPoint files are commonly used for business presentations, educational lectures, and other professional purposes.

The correct answer is "slide sorter view". This is because in the given question, the button in Fig 1 is asking for its name, and the correct name for that button is "slide sorter view".

This statement is true because in a presentation, you have the flexibility to use different orientations for different slides. Some slides may require landscape orientation to accommodate wide images or tables, while others may be better suited for portrait orientation to display vertical content such as graphs or bullet points. Therefore, it is possible to have a mix of landscape and portrait slides in the same presentation.

The statement is false because pictures do not necessarily have to be contained in a rectangular frame/shape. Pictures can be displayed in various shapes and forms, such as circles, triangles, or irregular shapes. The requirement for a rectangular frame is not a universal rule for all pictures.

The area where you mostly work on in creating slides is called "slide".

Pictures and ClipArts are not the same. While both may be visual elements, they have distinct characteristics. Pictures are typically photographs or images that are captured or created to represent something or someone. On the other hand, ClipArts are pre-made images or illustrations that can be inserted into documents or presentations. They are often simple and generic in nature, serving as decorative or illustrative elements. Therefore, it can be concluded that Pictures and ClipArts are different entities.

The statement is false because a slide show does not always have to begin from the first slide. It is possible to start a slide show from any slide in the presentation. This can be useful when presenting a specific topic or when revisiting a particular slide during a presentation.

To repeat the company logo in all slides, you need to go to the Slide master. The Slide master is a feature in presentation software that allows you to make changes to the layout, formatting, and design of all slides in your presentation. By adding the company logo to the Slide master, it will automatically appear on every slide in the presentation.

PowerPoint tables do not have the capability to calculate formulas. They are primarily used for organizing and presenting data in a visual format. While you can manually enter formulas into a table cell, PowerPoint does not have built-in functionality to automatically calculate these formulas like other spreadsheet programs such as Excel. Therefore, the statement that PowerPoint tables can calculate formulas is false.

To draw a straight line, pressing the Shift key while drawing the line allows the user to constrain the line to a straight path. This key modifier is commonly used in graphic design and drawing software to create precise and straight lines.

The keyboard shortcut to start a slide show is F5.

Printing multiple slides in a page is known as printing handouts. Handouts allow you to print multiple slides on a single page, making it easier to distribute and review the presentation. This feature is commonly used when presenting slides to a larger audience or when printing slides for reference purposes.

The statement is false because to change slide design, you do not need to right-click and choose the design. In most presentation software, including PowerPoint, you can change the slide design by selecting the "Design" tab or menu option and choosing a different design template from the available options. Right-clicking may provide additional options or shortcuts, but it is not the primary method for changing slide design.

The button shown in Fig 2 is called "Drop Cap".

During a presentation, pressing Ctrl P allows the user to draw on the screen. This keyboard shortcut is commonly used in presentation software to activate the pen or drawing tool, enabling the presenter to annotate or highlight specific content on the screen.
