NOTE

FEATURES OF A PRESENTATION PACKAGE

A typical presentation package has the following features:

  1. Creation of Slides: With a presentation package like Microsoft PowerPoint, users can create as many slides as they want depending on the amount of information required for display.

 

  1. Insertion of Pictures: With computer generated slides, users can add pictures, both from those embedded on slides and from external sources.

 

  1. Insertion of Video or Audio Content: This is one of the features that make presentation packages unique and different from manual presentations. Users can add any kind of video or audio content to enhance their presentation.

 

  1. Animation: This is an important distinguishing feature of presentation packages. It allows users give life to their presentation by applying motion effects to the content of the presentation. Text and graphics move in and out in beautiful transitions during presentation, thus making it more dynamic and memorable.

 

  1. Slide Shows: These consist of several slides of information that have been enhanced with animations, transitions, videos and audio effects presented to an audience in a prearranged sequence.

 

  1. Creating Graphics: With a presentation package, users can create or add graphic-Like shapes, lines and drawings to their presentation.

 

  1. Creating Organisational Charts and Other Charts: Presentation packages make it easy for users to create or add charts such as diagrams, graphs, tables, etc. to their presentations.

 

Features of Microsoft PowerPoint Environment

 

All Microsoft Office Windows packages have similar environments, with similar tools and icons that serve the same purposes, e.g. Save, Open, Print, Minimize, Maximize, Close, etc.

The following features are peculiar only to Microsoft PowerPoint:

 

  1. Menu Options: These are the different tools or icons that are available under each of the main menus in PowerPoint.

 

  1. Slide: This is the page or platform on which presentations are created.

 

  1. Status Bar: This is a long horizontal bar that extends from one end of the bottom section of the Microsoft PowerPoint to the    other end. It shows users the numbers of slides in the presentation and which slide is currently active. It also serves as         a quick shortcut to activate slide show, sorter and zoom          commands.

 

  1. Placeholders: These are boxes with dotted boarders that reside within the slide layout. They are the actual place where     the content of the presentation is inserted.

 

  1. Notes: This allows us to type in personal notes or information          as it concerns each slide.

 

  1. Title Bar: This is a colored wide horizontal bar which is located at the top in the center of the PowerPoint window. It displays the title of a named active or current document; otherwise by default, the title name appears as presentation1, 2,           3, etc., depending on the number of presentations created. The        title bar also displays a set of three buttons called system           buttons on its right side which are used to minimize, restore,      maximise or close PowerPoint. On the left side of the title bar are displayed some buttons like Quick Access toolbar, the     ribbon, which serve different functions as well as a small picture      called the system icon which is used to identify the application and holds a list of actions that can also close, minimize,    maximize, move or restore the application.

 

To Animate

Animation involves applying motion effects to the content of presentations to make more interesting.

 

  1. Entrance: This determines what Kind of effect a text or image should have when it first appears on the slide.
  2. Emphasis: This is used to get the viewers attention on a particular text or object.
  3. Exit: This determines the type or effect a text or image should have at the end of one or each slide presentation.
  4. Motion Paths: This determines the path or pattern a text or an image should follow when in motion.
