Ch.10--"Powerpoint is useful"

Geraldine is an owner of a local sporting goods shop. Recently her workers were complaining that they don’t receive enough money on their paycheck and were all threatening to go on strike. She decides to show them why she pays them what she pays them through Powerpoint. She felt that the way she knew how to use Powerpoint could make her employees understand why she pays them what she pays them. Her Powerpoint got her point across beautifully and made her employees understand that they must work harder to get more sales in order to increase their own paychecks.

Ch.9--"Importing Powerpoint slides"

If your workgroup has created an informative document to accompany a Powerpoint presentation you are able to combine the two so that when going over the Powerpoint you could also read the document. In Powerpoint you go to send to under the file heading and choose Microsoft Word. It then gives you the option of how you would like to send it. For this situation I believe that if you choose the blank lines next to slides option you will be able to incorporate that informative document next to the slides accordingly.

Ch.8--"Photograph as Powerpoint background"

If the camera that you have has a USB or a way to import the photographs onto the computer then that would be one way to get the photo into the computer. If your camera does not have that kind of capability then you can have your photo printed out. You take that photo and scan it into whatever program you feel most comfortable with. From both of these steps you must save the picture. Once the picture is saved it is simple to make it a background in a Powerpoint show. Go to format then background, scroll down to fill effects, select the picture tab and select picture.

Ch.7--"Inserting video and sound in Powerpoint"

When creating Powerpoint presentations you can include so many things to make it more appealing to the viewers. One way to make it appealing is by inserting sound and video. Inserting sound and video is as simple as adding clip art or a picture. Open the insert menu, point to movies and sounds and choose what you need. When the sound is inserted Powerpoint asks you how it will be controlled, automatically or when clicked on. Video clips are inserted the same way and common formats for videos are AVI, Quicktime and MPEG.

Ch.6--"Powerpoint, Excel and Word Tables and Charts"

Word, Excel and Powerpoint are programs that have a wide variety of features. One feature that they all share is the ability to create tables and charts. They all have this feature because tables and charts are very useful tools to have when you are trying to relay information towards someone in a clean manner. It sums up data and makes it easily readable for the reader. All three have the feature so that if you are working in one program you can transfer it into one of the other two with no issues. The three programs work together to make the best charts and tables possible.

Ch.5--"Microsoft Powerpoint also has Find and Replace"

A feature that I have used before in Word is find and replace it. This chapter in powerpoint let me know that that feature is also available for powerpoints. This is a very useful tool because sometimes there are a lot of slides and you realize you made a mistake spelling a word in most of them. Find and replace it will find that word wherever it is in the document and it will replace it with what you want. This feature will save you effort and time. Both are important when you create a Mircosoft Powerpoint.

Ch.4--"Microsoft Powerpoint in my future"

Microsoft Powerpoint is a very powerful presentation program. I am using Powerpoint in the very near future because I need to create a powerpoint for one of my classes right now, so I will know how to speed up the process and add things that some people don’t know about. I will also most likely be using is a lot in the next four years for college. Powerpoint allows me to present information in a neat manner that is appealing to a teacher or whomever you show it to. In college I expect there to be projects that need to be turned in and Powerpoint is what I will use. Even after college, I will still be using powerpoint to show things to my business associates or boss.
