FORMATTING A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION

GETTING STARTED

• Open the file NP_PPT16_1a_FirstLastName_1.pptx, available for download from the SAM website.
• Save the file as NP_PPT16_1a_FirstLastName_2.pptx by changing the “1” to a “2”.

o    If you do not see the .pptx file extension in the Save As dialog box, do not type it. The program will add the file extension for you automatically.

• To complete this Project, you will also need to download and save the following support files from the SAM website:
  • Supprt_NP_PPT16_1a_Harbor.jpg
  • Support_NP_PPT16_1a_Stream.jpg
• With the file NP_PPT16_1a_FirstLastName_2.pptx still open, ensure that your first and last name is displayed in the presenter notes on Slide 1.

o    If the presenter notes do not display your name, delete the file and download a new copy from the SAM website.

PROJECT STEPS

1. You are developing a presentation for people interested in the Copper Harbor Land Trust, which works to preserve land in northern Michigan. Start on Slide 1 by typing Copper Harbor Land Trust as the slide title.
2. With Slide 1 (“Copper Harbor Land Trust”) still displaying, type Preserving natural resources as the subtitle.
3. Add a new Slide 2 using the Title and Content layout. Type Welcome to Copper Harbor as the slide title.
4. On Slide 2 (“Welcome to Copper Harbor”), in the content placeholder, insert the picture from the file Support_NP_PPT16_1a_Harbor.jpg, available for download from the SAM website, to illustrate the harbor.
5. On Slide 3 (“Copper Harbor Watershed”), without using a content placeholder, insert the picture from the file Support_NP_PPT16_1a_Stream.jpg, available for download from the SAM website, to illustrate the watershed.

6. With Slide 3 still displaying, format the picture you just inserted as follows:
   1. Resize the picture to a height of 6.0".
   2. Crop the picture to an Oval shape from the Basic Shapes section of the Crop to Shape gallery.
   3. Position the picture as shown in Figure 1 below, using a Smart Guide to align the left edge of the picture with the left edge of the title.

7. On Slide 4 (“What We Protect”), add a bulleted list as follows:
   1. Change the layout to Two Content to balance the slide design.
   2. In the new content placeholder on the right, type the following text as a bulleted list:

Waterways Forests Historic sites

8. On Slide 5 (“Conservation Areas”), format the text “Land stewardship” as follows:
   1. Change the font to Trebuchet MS (Headings).
   2. Change the font size to 28 pt.
   3. Change the font color to Teal, Accent 3 (7^th column, 1^st row in the Theme Colors palette).
   4. Bold the text.
9. With Slide 5 still displaying, use the Format Painter to copy the formatting from the text “Land stewardship” to the text “Water preservation”.
10. Delete Slide 6 (“Why We Protect Copper Harbor”) because the same information appears on other slides.
11. Return to Slide 5 (“Conservation Areas”), copy the text “Land”, and then paste it in the text placeholder on Slide 6 (“How We Protect”) to provide the missing heading.
12. On Slide 7 (“Where We Protect”), create a SmartArt graphic as follows:
    1. Convert the bulleted list to a SmartArt graphic using the List layout

Vertical Bullet List shown in Figure 2 below.

1. 2. In the second shape, change the text “White Lake” to Lily Lake. (Hint: Do not type the period.)

13. On Slide 8 (“Connect with Others”), edit the slide as follows:
    1. Delete the content placeholder on the right.
    2. In the content placeholder on the left, enter the following multi-level bulleted list:

Volunteer

Outreach Events

Annual meeting Family picnic

14. Move Slide 9 (“Contact the Copper Harbor Land Trust”) so it becomes Slide 10, the last slide in the presentation.
