Application Based Questions

You are creating a presentation about animal habitats and want to include a short video clip of a specific animal in its natural environment on one of your slides. What steps would you take to add this video to your presentation?

To add the video, I would first click on the ‘Insert’ tab. Then, I would go to the ‘Media’ group, click on ‘Video’, and choose ‘Video on My PC’. From the dialog box that appears, I would navigate to and select the video file, then click ‘Insert’.

⁠

During your presentation practice, you want to review your slides to ensure the flow is smooth, but you don’t want to see the editing tools or enter full-screen mode. Which view would be most helpful for this quick review, and why?

The ‘Reading View’ would be most helpful. It displays the presentation in a window with simple controls, allowing for easy review without the ribbon or side panes being visible, providing a clean look without taking over the entire screen.

⁠

You have a sequence of points on a slide, and you want each point to appear individually only when you are ready to discuss it, building suspense for your audience. What feature would you use to control this step-by-step appearance?

I would use ‘Animation’, specifically an ‘Entrance’ effect for each point. I would then set the timing for each animation to ‘On Click’ from the Timing group on the Animations tab, so they appear only when I choose.

⁠

Your teacher asked you to prepare a presentation that includes your own voice explaining a diagram on one of the slides. Assuming you have the necessary equipment, how would you record and embed your voice commentary directly into that slide?

I would ensure my microphone is connected. Then, on the ‘Insert’ tab, I’d click the ‘Audio’ dropdown and select ‘Record Audio’. In the ‘Record Sound’ dialog box, I’d click ‘Record’ to start, speak my commentary, then click ‘Stop’, and finally ‘OK’ to embed the audio as a speaker icon on the slide.

⁠

You have created several slides for a story, and you realize the transitions between slides are too abrupt. You want a smooth visual change, like a ‘Fade’ effect, to happen automatically after 5 seconds for every slide. How would you apply this?

I would go to the ‘Transitions’ tab, select the ‘Fade’ transition effect. Then, in the Timing group, I would set ‘Advance Slide’ to ‘After’ and input ‘00:05.00’ seconds. Finally, I would click ‘Apply To All’ to ensure this smooth, timed transition is consistent across my entire presentation.

⁠

You’ve inserted several images and text boxes onto a single slide, and you want them to animate in a specific sequence. For example, the title appears first, then image A, then text box B, and finally image C. How can you control this exact order of animations?

I would open the ‘Animation Pane’ from the Animations tab to see all applied effects. Then, I would select the number of the animation effect I want to reorder and use the ‘Move Earlier’ or ‘Move Later’ commands in the Timing group of the Animations tab to arrange them into the desired sequence.

⁠

You have finished creating all your slides but realize they are not in the correct order for your story. Which PowerPoint view would allow you to quickly rearrange them by dragging and dropping?

The ‘Slide Sorter View’ would allow me to quickly rearrange the slides. This view shows all the slides as miniatures, making it easy to drag and drop them into the desired order.

⁠

You are practicing your presentation and want to see the slide content along with your speaker notes as they would appear if printed. Which PowerPoint view would you use and why?

I would use the ‘Notes Page View’. This view displays the slide of your presentation and the speaker notes that you have added within the Notes pane for each individual slide together, showing exactly how they would look in printed form.

Want to print your doc?
This is not the way.

Try clicking the ⋯ next to your doc name or using a keyboard shortcut (
