Opening and Saving Files Some of the Exercises contained within this module require learners to open pre-prepared files, and to save these files and others created during the training into the learner’s filing system.

The pre-prepared files will initially be contained on a CD. It is the responsibility of the licence holder to provide learners with a CD containing all the pre-prepared files.

If this is not

practical, it is the responsibility of the licence holder to provide learners with the pre-prepared files electronically (locally, via Intranet or via a secure Internet web site). In this instance, the licence holder should advise learners of the location of the files.

The Exercises give click-by-click instructions on how to open the pre-prepared file(s) from the CD, and how to save files to the [My Documents] folder, or another, appropriate folder. If it is not practical to save files to the [My Documents] folder, it is the responsibility of the licence holder to advise learners of the drive, folders and sub-folder(s) in which the files should be saved.

Module 6 Part 1

Views You can view your PowerPoint presentation in a number of different ways. •

From the menu bar, select [View], then select an option from the list:

Presentation A PowerPoint presentation is a single file ending with the dot extension .PPT. That file will be made up of a group of slides, which can be displayed as handouts, notes or outlines and may be viewed as a screen show or as a printout on paper, transparencies or 35mm slides. Slide This is the name that PowerPoint gives to a single page within your presentation. It may contain a combination of text, pictures, graphs, shapes and spreadsheets. To save time recreating existing data, it can be imported from other software applications, such as MS Word and Excel. Handout You can give your audience up to six slides from your presentation, sized to fit one A4 sheet of paper. Notes For each slide that you create, you can add speaker notes as a prompt for yourself or for someone else, should they do the presentation for you. Alternatively, a notes sheet with a scaled down copy of your slide on the top half of the A4 and printed notes below, might make an excellent handout to delegates to help them recall what was said. Outlines Starting your presentation in outline view is a quick way of inputting your presentation's headlines and text. You can print out in outline view to create an alternative plain set of speaker notes without any of the graphics.

Module 6 Part 1

Example 4 - Ways of presenting your presentation There are many different ways of presenting your PowerPoint file, and these are discussed below

Slide Show You have just created a PowerPoint file saved as a presentation – in “.ppt” format. Your file can also be saved as a PowerPoint show – that is, a presentation that will always open as a slide show. This would be saved in “.pps” format If you may need to run the slide show on a computer that does not have the PowerPoint software installed, you can opt to “Pack and Go” the presentation with a “PowerPoint viewer”. These slide show formats will be covered later in this Module.

Notes, handouts and outlines You can give your audience printed “handouts” with a number of slides in miniature on one sheet of paper. “Notes” pages allow you to include text annotations relating to the main points on that slide. These are useful both as prompt text for the speaker or as more detailed explanations for the audience to take away with them. Use “outline” to edit, view and print the main titles and text of your presentation without including the graphics and other objects. This view is useful to send the contents of the presentation to Microsoft Word.

Transparencies As well as printing paper copies to a black and white or colour printer, you can print your slides as black-and-white or colour transparencies for use with an overhead projector (OHP).

35mm slides A “service bureau” or photographer can transform your electronic slides into 35mm slides.
